-Known Bugs:
+# Known Bugs:
- - Bug ->go or ->visit causes actions which have Args or CaptureArgs caled
+ - Bug ->go or ->visit causes actions which have Args or CaptureArgs called
twice when called via ->go or ->visit.
Test app: http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-app-bug-go_chain/tree/master
+# Compatibility warnings to add:
- - Certain errors in your application to do with using other code which does
- not exist can cause an 'Unknown error' issue.
+ - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
+ class method (TESTS).
- Test app: http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-app-bug-unknown-error/tree/master
- < rafl> 21:13:03 < vincent> hah, Class::MOP::Method::Generated->_eval_closure
- < rafl> 21:13:40 < vincent> right, shove a local $@ in there
- < rafl> i can do that and add tests in an hour or two
+# Proposed functionality / feature additions:
+## Log setup needs to be less lame
- - -restarter.t will fail if you don't have ::StashChange installed, and
- also quite often at other times.
+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.
- - Catalyst::Test - bugs with Moosification (Khisanth/kane)
+See also: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Dispatch and
+http://github.com/willert/catalyst-plugin-log4perl-simple/tree
- - Attribute called 'actions' in controllers - needs to be renamed to _actions.
+## throw away the restarter and allow using the restarters Plack provides
-Compatibility warnings to add:
+## be smarter about how we use PSGI - not every response needs to be delayed
+ and streaming
- - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
- class method.
+# The horrible hack for plugin setup - replacing it:
-Proposed functionality / feature additions:
+ * 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)
