1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
5 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
6 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
9 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
12 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
13 the content type and content length if available.
15 Refactoring / optimizations:
16 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
17 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
18 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
19 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
20 screen as easy to write.
21 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
22 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
23 in parameter filtering (for example).
24 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
25 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
26 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
27 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
28 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
31 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
32 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
33 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
34 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
36 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
39 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
40 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
42 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
45 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
46 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
48 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
51 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
52 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
53 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
54 which should not be encoded.
55 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
56 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
58 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
59 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
60 any set of args/captures.
62 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
63 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
65 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
69 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
71 - Various minor typo fixes.
74 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
76 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
79 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
80 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
81 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
84 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
85 - Clarify documentation about debug
88 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
89 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
90 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
92 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
95 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
96 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
100 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
101 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
103 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
104 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
105 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
106 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
107 argv key in the options hash.
108 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
109 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
110 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
111 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
113 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
117 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
118 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
119 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
120 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
121 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
123 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
127 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
128 encoding test controller.
130 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
132 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
133 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
134 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
135 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
137 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
138 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
139 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
140 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
141 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
143 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
147 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
148 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
149 less packed with information of no use.
153 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
155 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
157 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
158 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
159 the single character '0'.
160 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
163 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
164 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
165 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
167 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
169 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
170 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
171 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
172 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
173 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
174 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
175 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
176 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
177 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
178 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
179 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
180 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
182 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
183 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
185 Refactoring / cleanups:
186 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
187 (and then skipped) normally.
190 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
192 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
195 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
196 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
197 on the old behaviour.
199 Refactoring / cleanups:
200 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
201 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
203 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
206 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
207 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
208 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
209 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
210 as there is no recommended alternative.
211 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
212 fallback for fully qualified component names.
213 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
214 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
215 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
216 startup, rather than with the first hit.
217 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
218 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
219 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
220 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
221 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
222 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
223 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
224 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
227 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
228 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
229 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
230 deprecated and causes warnings).
231 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
232 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
233 in the correct order.
234 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
236 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
237 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
238 is deprecated (RT#51489)
241 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
242 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
243 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
244 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
245 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
247 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
248 exception classes need to implement.
249 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
250 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
253 Refactoring / cleanups:
254 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
255 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
256 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
257 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
258 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
259 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
260 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
262 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
265 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
266 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
267 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
268 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
270 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
271 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
272 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
275 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
276 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
279 Refactoring / cleanups:
280 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
281 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
282 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
283 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
284 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
286 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
289 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
290 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
291 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
292 now loaded at most once + tests.
293 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
294 is returned to 'actions'.
295 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
296 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
298 Refactoring / cleanups:
299 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
300 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
303 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
304 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
305 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
307 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
310 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
311 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
314 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
317 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
318 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
319 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
321 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
324 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
325 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
326 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
328 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
331 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
332 application class immutable without that option.
333 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
334 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
336 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
337 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
338 (hopefully) future versions.
339 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
340 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
342 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
344 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
345 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
346 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
347 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
348 Request-URI of the Request-Line
350 Refactoring / cleanups:
351 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
352 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
353 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
354 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
355 known issues with 5.8.3.
356 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
357 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
360 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
361 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
362 for the controller namespace
363 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
364 expand_component_module (rjbs)
365 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
366 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
367 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
368 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
370 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
371 frontend port (jshirley)
372 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
376 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
377 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
378 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
379 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
382 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
385 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
386 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
387 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
389 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
390 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
391 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
392 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
393 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
394 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
398 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
399 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
400 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
403 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
406 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
407 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
409 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
410 in some environments.
411 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
412 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
413 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
414 except works correctly with closures.
415 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
416 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
417 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
419 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
420 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
421 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
424 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
425 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
426 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
427 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
428 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
429 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
431 Refactoring / cleanups:
432 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
433 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
434 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
435 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
437 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
438 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
439 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
441 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
442 again in Catalyst::Test
444 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
447 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
448 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
451 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
454 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
455 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
456 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
458 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
461 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
462 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
465 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
466 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
470 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
471 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
472 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
473 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
474 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
476 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
477 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
478 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
479 controller naming. (random)
480 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
481 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
482 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
483 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
484 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
486 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
488 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
489 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
490 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
492 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
493 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
494 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
495 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
496 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
497 to report 'Unknown Error'
498 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
499 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
500 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
501 parse_on_demand is on
503 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
504 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
505 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
506 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
507 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
508 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
509 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
510 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
511 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
513 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
514 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
515 Test::Aggregate is available.
516 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
517 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
518 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
519 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
520 disabling functionality from base controllers.
521 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
522 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
523 incompatibility issues in some cases.
524 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
525 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
526 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
527 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
528 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
529 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
530 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
531 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
532 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
533 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
534 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
536 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
537 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
538 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
539 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
540 configuration in your application.
542 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
543 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
544 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
546 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
547 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
549 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
550 has been made private
551 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
552 the request parameters with undef + test
553 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
554 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
556 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
558 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
559 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
560 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
562 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
563 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
564 warning on recent Moose versions.
565 - Add delta documentation
566 - Clean up recursion errors
567 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
568 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
570 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
571 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
573 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
574 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
575 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
576 tries to chain to itself
578 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
579 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
580 - Tests for this (radek)
581 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
582 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
583 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
584 - Tests for this (radek)
585 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
586 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
587 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
588 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
590 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
591 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
593 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
595 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
596 in production versions
597 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
598 the correct metaclass
599 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
600 the restarter process
601 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
602 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
604 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
605 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
606 immutable restart correctly.
608 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
609 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

622 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
623 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
624 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
625 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
626 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
627 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
628 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
630 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
631 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
632 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
635 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

670 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
671 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

691 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
693 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and

718 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
719 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
720 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
721 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
