4 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
5 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
6 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
7 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
8 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
9 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
10 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
11 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
14 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
15 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
16 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
18 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
19 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
20 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
23 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
24 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
26 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
29 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
30 the content type and content length if available.
32 Refactoring / optimizations:
33 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
34 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
35 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
36 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
37 screen as easy to write.
38 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
39 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
40 in parameter filtering (for example).
41 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
42 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
43 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
44 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
45 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
48 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
49 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
50 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
51 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
53 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
56 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
57 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
59 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
62 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
63 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
65 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
68 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
69 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
70 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
71 which should not be encoded.
72 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
73 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
75 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
76 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
77 any set of args/captures.
79 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
80 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
82 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
86 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
88 - Various minor typo fixes.
91 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
93 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
96 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
97 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
98 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
101 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
102 - Clarify documentation about debug
105 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
106 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
107 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
109 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
112 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
113 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
117 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
118 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
120 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
121 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
122 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
123 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
124 argv key in the options hash.
125 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
126 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
127 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
128 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
130 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
134 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
135 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
136 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
137 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
138 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
140 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
144 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
145 encoding test controller.
147 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
149 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
150 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
151 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
152 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
154 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
155 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
156 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
157 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
158 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
160 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
164 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
165 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
166 less packed with information of no use.
170 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
172 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
174 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
175 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
176 the single character '0'.
177 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
180 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
181 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
182 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
184 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
186 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
187 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
188 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
189 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
190 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
191 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
192 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
193 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
194 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
195 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
196 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
197 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
199 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
200 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
202 Refactoring / cleanups:
203 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
204 (and then skipped) normally.
207 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
209 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
212 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
213 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
214 on the old behaviour.
216 Refactoring / cleanups:
217 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
218 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
220 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
223 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
224 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
225 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
226 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
227 as there is no recommended alternative.
228 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
229 fallback for fully qualified component names.
230 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
231 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
232 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
233 startup, rather than with the first hit.
234 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
235 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
236 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
237 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
238 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
239 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
240 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
241 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
244 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
245 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
246 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
247 deprecated and causes warnings).
248 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
249 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
250 in the correct order.
251 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
253 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
254 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
255 is deprecated (RT#51489)
258 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
259 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
260 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
261 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
262 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
264 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
265 exception classes need to implement.
266 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
267 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
270 Refactoring / cleanups:
271 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
272 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
273 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
274 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
275 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
276 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
277 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
279 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
282 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
283 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
284 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
285 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
287 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
288 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
289 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
292 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
293 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
296 Refactoring / cleanups:
297 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
298 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
299 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
300 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
301 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
303 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
306 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
307 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
308 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
309 now loaded at most once + tests.
310 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
311 is returned to 'actions'.
312 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
313 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
315 Refactoring / cleanups:
316 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
317 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
320 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
321 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
322 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
324 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
327 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
328 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
331 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
334 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
335 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
336 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
338 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
341 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
342 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
343 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
345 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
348 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
349 application class immutable without that option.
350 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
351 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
353 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
354 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
355 (hopefully) future versions.
356 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
357 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
359 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
361 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
362 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
363 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
364 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
365 Request-URI of the Request-Line
367 Refactoring / cleanups:
368 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
369 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
370 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
371 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
372 known issues with 5.8.3.
373 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
374 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
377 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
378 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
379 for the controller namespace
380 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
381 expand_component_module (rjbs)
382 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
383 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
384 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
385 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
387 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
388 frontend port (jshirley)
389 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
393 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
394 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
395 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
396 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
399 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
402 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
403 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
404 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
406 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
407 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
408 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
409 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
410 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
411 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
415 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
416 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
417 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
420 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
423 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
424 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
426 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
427 in some environments.
428 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
429 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
430 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
431 except works correctly with closures.
432 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
433 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
434 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
436 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
437 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
438 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
441 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
442 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
443 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
444 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
445 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
446 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
448 Refactoring / cleanups:
449 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
450 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
451 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
452 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
454 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
455 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
456 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
458 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
459 again in Catalyst::Test
461 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
464 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
465 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
468 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
471 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
472 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
473 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
475 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
478 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
479 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
482 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
483 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
487 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
488 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
489 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
490 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
491 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
493 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
494 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
495 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
496 controller naming. (random)
497 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
498 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
499 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
500 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
501 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
503 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
505 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
506 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
507 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
509 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
510 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
511 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
512 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
513 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
514 to report 'Unknown Error'
515 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
516 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
517 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
518 parse_on_demand is on
520 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
521 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
522 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
523 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
524 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
525 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
526 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
527 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
528 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
530 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
531 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
532 Test::Aggregate is available.
533 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
534 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
535 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
536 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
537 disabling functionality from base controllers.
538 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
539 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
540 incompatibility issues in some cases.
541 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
542 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
543 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
544 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
545 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
546 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
547 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
548 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
549 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
550 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
551 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
553 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
554 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
555 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
556 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
557 configuration in your application.
559 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
560 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
561 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
563 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
564 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
566 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
567 has been made private
568 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
569 the request parameters with undef + test
570 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
571 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
573 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
575 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
576 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
577 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
579 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
580 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
581 warning on recent Moose versions.
582 - Add delta documentation
583 - Clean up recursion errors
584 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
585 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
587 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
588 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
590 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
591 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
592 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
593 tries to chain to itself
595 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
596 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
597 - Tests for this (radek)
598 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
599 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
600 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
601 - Tests for this (radek)
602 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
603 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
604 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
605 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
607 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
608 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
610 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
612 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
613 in production versions
614 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
615 the correct metaclass
616 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
617 the restarter process
618 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
619 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
621 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
622 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
623 immutable restart correctly.

639 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
640 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
641 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
642 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
643 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
644 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
645 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
647 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
648 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
649 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
652 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

687 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
688 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

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

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