-Pre 0004:
+# Known Bugs:
- - Certain errors in your application to do with using other code which does
- not exist can cause an 'Unknown error' issue.
+ - Bug ->go or ->visit causes actions which have Args or CaptureArgs called
+ twice when called via ->go or ->visit.
- This is now fixed, by moving back to B::Hooks::EndOfScope, but this (used
- to) cause issues with the following modules:
+ Test app: http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-app-bug-go_chain/tree/master
- - Catalyst-Authentication-Credential-HTTP
-
- according to comments in r8991. Retest these before shipping anything..
+# Compatibility warnings to add:
- - Document method modifiers called on things before setup not working in your app class.
+ - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
+ class method (TESTS).
-Known Bugs:
+# Proposed functionality / feature additions:
- - Bug ->go or ->visit causes actions which have Args or CaptureArgs caled
- twice when called via ->go or ->visit.
+## Log setup needs to be less lame
- Test app: http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-app-bug-go_chain/tree/master
+So Catalyst::Plugin::Log::* can die
+in a fire. Having $c->log_class would be a good start. kane volunteered
+to do some of this.
+
+Simple example: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Colorful should just be a
+subclass of Catalyst::Log, no ::Plugin:: needed.

+# REFACTORING
+
+## PSGI
+
+### Blockers
-Compatibility warnings to add:
+ * properly pass along server arguments
+ * Add some tests for Catalyst::Test::local_request
- - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
- class method.
+### Nice to have
-Proposed functionality / feature additions:
+ * throw out Catalyst::Test's remote_request in favour of
+ Plack::Test::ExternalServer
+ * make sure we're running under a server that support psgi.streaming - maybe
+ just load the BufferedWrite middleware, although that might break things
+ relying on ->write doing an unbuffered write
+ * throw away the restarter and allow using the restarters Plack provides
+ * remove per-request state from the engine instance
+ * be smarter about how we use PSGI - not every response needs to be delayed
+ and streaming
- - Log setup needs to be less lame, so Catalyst::Plugin::Log::* can die
- in a fire. Having $c->log_class would be a good start. kane volunteered
- to do some of this.
+## The horrible hack for plugin setup - replacing it:
- Simple example: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Colorful should just be a
- subclass of Catalyst::Log, no ::Plugin:: needed.
+ * Have a look at the Devel::REPL BEFORE_PLUGIN stuff
+ I wonder if what we need is that combined with plugins-as-roles

+## App / ctx split:
+ NOTE - these are notes that t0m thought up after doing back compat for
+ catalyst_component_class, may be inaccurate, wrong or missing things
+ bug mst (at least) to correct before trying more than the first 2
+ steps. Please knock yourself out on the first two however :)
+ - Eliminate actions in MyApp from the main test suite
+ - Uncomment warning in C::C::register_action_methods, add tests it works
+ by mocking out the logging..
+ - Remove MyApp @ISA controller (ask metaclass if it has attributes, and if
+ so you need back compat :/)
+ - Make Catalyst::Context, move the per request stuff in there, handles from
+ main app class to delegate
+ - Make an instance of the app class which is a global variable
+ - Make new instance of the context class, not the app class per-request
+ - Remove the components as class data, move to instance data on the app
+ class (you probably have to do this for _all_ the class data, good luck!)
+ - Make it possible for users to spin up different instances of the app class
+ (with different config etc each)
+ - Profit! (Things like changing the complete app config per vhost, i.e.
+ writing a config loader / app class role which dispatches per vhost to
+ differently configured apps is piss easy)
