1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
4 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
5 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
6 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
7 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
8 handles JSON request content out of the box!
10 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
11 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
12 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
13 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
14 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
17 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
18 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
19 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
20 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
22 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
24 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
28 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
29 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
30 this fixes all of them.
31 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
32 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
33 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
34 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
36 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
39 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
40 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
41 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
42 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
43 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
44 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
45 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
47 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
48 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
49 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
50 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
51 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
52 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
54 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
55 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
56 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
57 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
58 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
59 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
60 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
61 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
63 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
66 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
67 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
68 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
69 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
70 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
71 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
73 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
74 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
75 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
76 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
77 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
78 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
81 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
82 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
83 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
84 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
85 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
86 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
87 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
88 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
89 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
90 in behavior is compatible on its own.
91 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
92 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
93 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
94 - Some test and documentation improvements
96 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
97 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
98 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
99 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
102 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
103 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
106 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
107 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
109 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
110 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
112 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
114 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
115 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
117 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
119 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
120 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
121 of request or response classes.
123 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
124 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
125 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
126 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
127 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
128 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
129 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
130 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
131 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
132 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
134 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
135 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
136 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
137 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
138 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
140 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
142 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
143 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
145 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
147 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
148 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
149 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
152 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
155 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
158 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
159 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
161 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
164 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
167 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
169 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
171 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
173 Distribution META.yml changes:
174 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
175 mis-parses from the documentation.
176 - x_authority key added.
179 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
180 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
182 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
183 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
184 is less than helpful.
186 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
187 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
188 in bleadperl. RT#76437
190 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
191 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
194 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
195 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
197 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
198 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
199 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
201 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
204 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
205 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
206 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
207 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
208 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
209 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
211 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
213 - --background option for the server script now only closes
214 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
215 and other loggers which open a file handle when
216 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
217 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
218 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
221 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
224 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
225 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
226 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
227 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
229 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
232 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
235 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
236 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
237 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
238 included when not running from a checkout.
240 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
242 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
243 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
244 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
246 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
248 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
250 New features and refactoring:
251 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
252 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
253 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
255 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
256 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
257 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
260 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
261 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
262 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
264 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
266 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
267 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
268 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
269 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
270 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
271 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
273 Back compatibility fixes:
274 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
275 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
276 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
279 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
282 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
283 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
284 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
286 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
287 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
288 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
290 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
293 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
294 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
295 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
296 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
297 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
300 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
301 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
303 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
304 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
305 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
307 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
310 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
311 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
312 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
313 get them passed through to the application.
316 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
317 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
318 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
319 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
322 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
323 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
324 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
325 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
327 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
328 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
329 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
331 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
332 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
334 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
338 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
339 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
340 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
341 whereas before you had to say:
342 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
343 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
344 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
347 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
348 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
349 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
350 scripts in the application.
351 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
352 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
353 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
358 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
360 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
361 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
362 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
363 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
364 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
365 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
366 and provide an alternative.
368 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
372 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
375 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
378 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
380 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
381 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
382 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
383 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
384 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
385 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
389 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
390 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
392 Backward compatibility fixes:
394 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
395 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
399 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
400 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
402 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
404 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
406 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
407 Backward compatibility fixes:
409 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
410 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
412 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
416 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
417 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
418 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
420 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
422 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
423 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
425 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
429 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
431 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
433 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
435 Backward compatibility fixes:
437 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
439 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
440 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
441 for backward compatibility.
445 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
446 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
450 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
451 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
452 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
454 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
456 Backward compatibility fixes:
458 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
459 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
463 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
466 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
467 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
468 example) Coro is loaded.
470 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
471 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
473 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
474 using MooseX::Deamonize
476 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
477 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
478 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
479 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
480 deployed in these environments.
484 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
488 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
489 file for your application.
491 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
495 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
496 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
498 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
501 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
502 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
504 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
506 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
507 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
509 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
510 IO::Handle's behaviour.
512 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
513 was not breaking out correctly
515 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
516 to also work in the $c->component method.
518 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
519 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
520 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
522 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
524 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
526 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
528 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
529 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
532 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
534 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
537 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
541 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
542 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
543 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
545 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
548 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
550 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
551 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
552 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
554 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
557 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
558 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
559 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
560 the new major version of Catalyst.
563 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
564 of Catalyst has been much improved.
566 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
569 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
570 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
571 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
573 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
575 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
576 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
577 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
579 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
582 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
583 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
584 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
586 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
587 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
591 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
592 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
594 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
595 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
596 developers without changing their application code.
598 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
601 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
602 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
603 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
604 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
605 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
607 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
608 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
610 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
612 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
616 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
617 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
618 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
619 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
620 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
621 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
622 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
624 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
625 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
626 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
627 class, please tell us *now*.
629 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
632 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
634 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
635 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
636 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
637 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
638 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
639 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
642 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
643 the Content-Length header appropriately)
644 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
645 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
646 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
647 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
648 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
649 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
651 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
652 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
653 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
654 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
655 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
656 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
657 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
658 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
661 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
662 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
664 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
667 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
668 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
672 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
673 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
675 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
678 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
680 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
681 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
683 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
685 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
688 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
690 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
693 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
694 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
695 load Utils before MyApp.pm
697 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
700 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
702 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
703 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
704 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
705 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
706 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
708 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
711 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
712 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
713 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
716 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
717 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
722 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
725 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
728 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
729 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
730 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
731 the default action creation.
734 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
735 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
736 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
737 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
738 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
739 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
740 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
743 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
745 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
747 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
749 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
752 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
753 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
754 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
755 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
756 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
759 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
760 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
763 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
764 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
765 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
766 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
768 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
771 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
772 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
773 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
774 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
775 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
776 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
777 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
778 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
781 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
782 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
783 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
785 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
786 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
787 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
788 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
791 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
792 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
795 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
796 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
799 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
802 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
803 the content type and content length if available.
805 Refactoring / optimizations:
806 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
807 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
808 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
809 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
810 screen as easy to write.
811 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
812 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
813 in parameter filtering (for example).
814 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
815 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
816 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
817 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
818 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
821 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
822 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
823 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
824 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
826 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
829 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
830 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
832 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
835 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
836 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
838 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
841 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
842 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
843 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
844 which should not be encoded.
845 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
846 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
848 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
849 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
850 any set of args/captures.
852 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
853 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
855 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
859 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
861 - Various minor typo fixes.
864 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
866 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
869 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
870 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
871 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
874 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
875 - Clarify documentation about debug
878 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
879 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
880 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
882 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
885 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
886 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
890 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
891 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
893 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
894 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
895 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
896 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
897 argv key in the options hash.
898 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
899 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
900 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
901 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
903 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
907 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
908 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
909 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
910 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
911 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
913 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
917 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
918 encoding test controller.
920 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
922 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
923 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
924 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
925 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
927 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
928 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
929 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
930 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
931 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
933 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
937 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
938 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
939 less packed with information of no use.
943 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
945 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
947 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
948 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
949 the single character '0'.
950 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
953 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
954 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
955 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
957 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
959 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
960 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
961 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
962 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
963 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
964 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
965 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
966 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
967 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
968 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
969 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
970 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
972 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
973 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
975 Refactoring / cleanups:
976 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
977 (and then skipped) normally.
980 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
982 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
985 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
986 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
987 on the old behaviour.
989 Refactoring / cleanups:
990 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
991 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
993 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
996 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
997 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
998 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
999 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1000 as there is no recommended alternative.
1001 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1002 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1003 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1004 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1005 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1006 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1007 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1008 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1009 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1010 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1011 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1012 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1013 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1014 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1017 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1018 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1019 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1020 deprecated and causes warnings).
1021 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1022 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1023 in the correct order.
1024 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1026 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1027 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1028 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1031 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1032 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1033 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1034 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1035 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1037 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1038 exception classes need to implement.
1039 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1040 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1043 Refactoring / cleanups:
1044 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1045 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1046 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1047 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1048 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1049 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1050 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1052 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1055 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1056 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1057 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1058 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1060 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1061 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1062 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1065 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1066 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1069 Refactoring / cleanups:
1070 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1071 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1072 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1073 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1074 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1076 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1079 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1080 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1081 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1082 now loaded at most once + tests.
1083 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1084 is returned to 'actions'.
1085 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1086 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1088 Refactoring / cleanups:
1089 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1090 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1093 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1094 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1095 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1097 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1100 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1101 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1104 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1107 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1108 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1109 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1111 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1114 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1115 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1116 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1118 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1121 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1122 application class immutable without that option.
1123 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1124 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1126 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1127 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1128 (hopefully) future versions.
1129 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1130 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1131 variables (RT#48555)
1132 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1134 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1135 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1136 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1137 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1138 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1140 Refactoring / cleanups:
1141 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1142 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1143 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1144 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1145 known issues with 5.8.3.
1146 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1147 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1150 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1151 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1152 for the controller namespace
1153 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1154 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1155 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1156 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1157 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1158 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1160 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1161 frontend port (jshirley)
1162 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1166 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1167 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1168 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1169 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1172 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1175 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1176 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1177 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1179 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1180 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1181 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1182 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1183 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1184 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1188 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1189 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1190 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1193 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1196 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1197 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1199 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1200 in some environments.
1201 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1202 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1203 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1204 except works correctly with closures.
1205 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1206 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1207 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1208 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1209 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1210 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1211 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1214 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1215 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1216 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1217 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1218 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1219 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1221 Refactoring / cleanups:
1222 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1223 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1224 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1225 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1227 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1228 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1229 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.

1248 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1251 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1252 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1255 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1256 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1260 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1261 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1262 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1263 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1264 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1266 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1267 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1268 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application

1286 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1287 to report 'Unknown Error'
1288 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1289 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1290 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when

1323 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1324 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1326 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1327 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1328 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1329 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1330 configuration in your application.

1363 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1364 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1365 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1366 tries to chain to itself

1369 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1370 - Tests for this (radek)
1371 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1372 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1373 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1374 - Tests for this (radek)

1386 in production versions
1387 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1388 the correct metaclass
1389 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1390 the restarter process
1391 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1392 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1394 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1395 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1396 immutable restart correctly.
1398 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1399 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1415 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1416 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1417 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1418 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1420 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1421 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1455 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1456 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

1459 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1460 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1461 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1472 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1473 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

1478 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1480 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1481 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1483 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1484 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1485 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1487 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1488 test sync for engines easier

1507 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1508 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1509 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1510 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1511 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1677 (Tatsuhiko Miyagawa, Masahiro Nagano)
1678 - Fixed a bug where -rr (restart regex) command line option could cause
1679 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
1681 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
1682 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1683 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
