-::[MVC]:: style naming scheme has been deprecated and will warn
+Please see L<Catalyst::Upgrading> for a full description of how changes in the
+framework may affect your application.
 
+Below is a brief list of features which have been deprecated in this release:
 
- - Use Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT (rafl)
+=over
 
-Catalyst 5.80 uses L<Algorithm::C3> method dispatch order. This is built into
-perl 5.10 (new pragma mro), and comes via L<Class::C3> for perl 5.8. This
-replaces L<NEXT> with L<Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT>, forcing all components to
-resolve methods using C3, rather than the unpredictable dispatch order of
-L<NEXT>. Please "use MRO::Compat" in both perl 5.8 and perl 5.10 to activate
-this feature.
-- Disallow writing to config after setup and disallow calling setup more 
-than once (rafl)

 =head2 Consequences of the Moose backend
 
-        - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
-          attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
-          allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
-        - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
-          and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
-          subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
-          syntax. (rafl/hdp)
-        - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
-          Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
-          components (Florian Ragwitz)
-        - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
-          method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their 
-          own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp (t0m)        
-        - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
-          components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
