6 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
7 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
8 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
9 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
10 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
13 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
14 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
17 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
18 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
19 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
22 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
25 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
26 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
27 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
28 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
29 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
30 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
31 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
32 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
35 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
36 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
37 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
39 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
40 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
41 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
42 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
45 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
46 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
49 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
50 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
53 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
56 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
57 the content type and content length if available.
59 Refactoring / optimizations:
60 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
61 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
62 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
63 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
64 screen as easy to write.
65 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
66 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
67 in parameter filtering (for example).
68 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
69 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
70 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
71 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
72 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
75 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
76 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
77 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
78 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
80 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
83 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
84 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
86 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
89 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
90 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
92 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
95 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
96 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
97 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
98 which should not be encoded.
99 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
100 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
102 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
103 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
104 any set of args/captures.
106 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
107 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
109 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
113 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
115 - Various minor typo fixes.
118 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
120 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
123 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
124 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
125 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
128 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
129 - Clarify documentation about debug
132 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
133 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
134 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
136 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
139 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
140 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
144 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
145 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
147 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
148 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
149 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
150 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
151 argv key in the options hash.
152 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
153 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
154 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
155 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
157 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
161 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
162 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
163 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
164 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
165 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
167 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
171 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
172 encoding test controller.
174 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
176 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
177 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
178 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
179 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
181 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
182 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
183 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
184 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
185 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
187 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
191 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
192 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
193 less packed with information of no use.
197 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
199 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
201 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
202 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
203 the single character '0'.
204 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
207 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
208 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
209 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
211 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
213 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
214 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
215 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
216 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
217 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
218 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
219 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
220 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
221 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
222 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
223 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
224 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
226 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
227 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
229 Refactoring / cleanups:
230 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
231 (and then skipped) normally.
234 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
236 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
239 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
240 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
241 on the old behaviour.
243 Refactoring / cleanups:
244 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
245 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
247 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
250 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
251 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
252 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
253 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
254 as there is no recommended alternative.
255 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
256 fallback for fully qualified component names.
257 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
258 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
259 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
260 startup, rather than with the first hit.
261 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
262 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
263 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
264 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
265 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
266 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
267 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
268 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
271 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
272 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
273 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
274 deprecated and causes warnings).
275 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
276 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
277 in the correct order.
278 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
280 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
281 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
282 is deprecated (RT#51489)
285 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
286 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
287 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
288 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
289 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
291 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
292 exception classes need to implement.
293 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
294 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
297 Refactoring / cleanups:
298 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
299 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
300 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
301 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
302 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
303 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
304 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
306 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
309 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
310 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
311 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
312 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
314 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
315 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
316 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
319 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
320 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
323 Refactoring / cleanups:
324 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
325 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
326 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
327 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
328 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
330 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
333 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
334 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
335 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
336 now loaded at most once + tests.
337 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
338 is returned to 'actions'.
339 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
340 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
342 Refactoring / cleanups:
343 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
344 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
347 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
348 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
349 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
351 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
354 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
355 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
358 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
361 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
362 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
363 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
365 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
368 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
369 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
370 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
372 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
375 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
376 application class immutable without that option.
377 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
378 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
380 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
381 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
382 (hopefully) future versions.
383 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
384 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
386 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
388 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
389 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
390 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
391 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
392 Request-URI of the Request-Line
394 Refactoring / cleanups:
395 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
396 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
397 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
398 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
399 known issues with 5.8.3.
400 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
401 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
404 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
405 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
406 for the controller namespace
407 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
408 expand_component_module (rjbs)
409 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
410 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
411 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
412 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
414 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
415 frontend port (jshirley)
416 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
420 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
421 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
422 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
423 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
426 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
429 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
430 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
431 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
433 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
434 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
435 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
436 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
437 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
438 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
442 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
443 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
444 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
447 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
450 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
451 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
453 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
454 in some environments.
455 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
456 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
457 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
458 except works correctly with closures.
459 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
460 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
461 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
463 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
464 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
465 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
468 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
469 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
470 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
471 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
472 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
473 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
475 Refactoring / cleanups:
476 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
477 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
478 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
479 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
481 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
482 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
483 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
485 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
486 again in Catalyst::Test
488 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
491 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
492 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
495 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
498 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
499 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
500 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
502 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
505 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
506 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
509 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
510 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
514 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
515 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
516 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
517 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
518 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
520 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
521 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
522 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
523 controller naming. (random)
524 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
525 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
526 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
527 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
528 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
530 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
532 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
533 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
534 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
536 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
537 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
538 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
539 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
540 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
541 to report 'Unknown Error'
542 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
543 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
544 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
545 parse_on_demand is on
547 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
548 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
549 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
550 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
551 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
552 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
553 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
554 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
555 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
557 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
558 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
559 Test::Aggregate is available.
560 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
561 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
562 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
563 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
564 disabling functionality from base controllers.
565 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
566 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
567 incompatibility issues in some cases.
568 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
569 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
570 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
571 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
572 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
573 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
574 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
575 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
576 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
577 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
578 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
580 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
581 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
582 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
583 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
584 configuration in your application.
586 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
587 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
588 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
590 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
591 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class

598 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
600 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component

617 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
618 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
619 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
620 tries to chain to itself
622 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
623 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
624 - Tests for this (radek)
625 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
626 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
627 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
628 - Tests for this (radek)
629 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
630 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

637 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
639 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
640 in production versions
641 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
642 the correct metaclass
643 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
644 the restarter process
645 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
646 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
648 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
649 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
650 immutable restart correctly.

669 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
670 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
671 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
672 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
674 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
675 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
676 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
679 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

714 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
715 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

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

762 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
763 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
