4 - Additional fix for getting the base application path right when rewriting
5 requests into an application sub path with mod_alias and mod_rewrite on
7 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
8 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
9 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
10 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
11 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
12 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
13 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
14 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
17 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
18 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
19 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
21 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
22 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
23 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
26 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
27 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
29 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
32 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
33 the content type and content length if available.
35 Refactoring / optimizations:
36 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
37 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
38 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
39 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
40 screen as easy to write.
41 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
42 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
43 in parameter filtering (for example).
44 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
45 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
46 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
47 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
48 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
51 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
52 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
53 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
54 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
56 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
59 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
60 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
62 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
65 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
66 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
68 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
71 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
72 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
73 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
74 which should not be encoded.
75 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
76 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
78 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
79 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
80 any set of args/captures.
82 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
83 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
85 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
89 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
91 - Various minor typo fixes.
94 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
96 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
99 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
100 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
101 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
104 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
105 - Clarify documentation about debug
108 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
109 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
110 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
112 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
115 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
116 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
120 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
121 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
123 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
124 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
125 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
126 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
127 argv key in the options hash.
128 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
129 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
130 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
131 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
133 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
137 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
138 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
139 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
140 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
141 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
143 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
147 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
148 encoding test controller.
150 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
152 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
153 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
154 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
155 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
157 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
158 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
159 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
160 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
161 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
163 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
167 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
168 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
169 less packed with information of no use.
173 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
175 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
177 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
178 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
179 the single character '0'.
180 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
183 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
184 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
185 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
187 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
189 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
190 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
191 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
192 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
193 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
194 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
195 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
196 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
197 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
198 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
199 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
200 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
202 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
203 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
205 Refactoring / cleanups:
206 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
207 (and then skipped) normally.
210 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
212 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
215 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
216 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
217 on the old behaviour.
219 Refactoring / cleanups:
220 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
221 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
223 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
226 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
227 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
228 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
229 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
230 as there is no recommended alternative.
231 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
232 fallback for fully qualified component names.
233 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
234 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
235 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
236 startup, rather than with the first hit.
237 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
238 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
239 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
240 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
241 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
242 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
243 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
244 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
247 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
248 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
249 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
250 deprecated and causes warnings).
251 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
252 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
253 in the correct order.
254 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
256 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
257 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
258 is deprecated (RT#51489)
261 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
262 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
263 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
264 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
265 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
267 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
268 exception classes need to implement.
269 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
270 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
273 Refactoring / cleanups:
274 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
275 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
276 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
277 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
278 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
279 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
280 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
282 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
285 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
286 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
287 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
288 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
290 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
291 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
292 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
295 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
296 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
299 Refactoring / cleanups:
300 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
301 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
302 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
303 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
304 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
306 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
309 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
310 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
311 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
312 now loaded at most once + tests.
313 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
314 is returned to 'actions'.
315 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
316 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
318 Refactoring / cleanups:
319 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
320 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
323 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
324 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
325 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
327 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
330 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
331 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
334 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
337 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
338 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
339 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
341 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
344 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
345 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
346 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
348 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
351 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
352 application class immutable without that option.
353 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
354 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
356 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
357 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
358 (hopefully) future versions.
359 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
360 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
362 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
364 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
365 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
366 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
367 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
368 Request-URI of the Request-Line
370 Refactoring / cleanups:
371 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
372 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
373 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
374 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
375 known issues with 5.8.3.
376 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
377 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
380 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
381 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
382 for the controller namespace
383 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
384 expand_component_module (rjbs)
385 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
386 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
387 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
388 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
390 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
391 frontend port (jshirley)
392 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
396 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
397 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
398 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
399 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
402 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
405 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
406 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
407 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
409 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
410 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
411 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
412 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
413 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
414 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
418 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
419 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
420 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
423 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
426 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
427 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
429 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
430 in some environments.
431 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
432 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
433 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
434 except works correctly with closures.
435 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
436 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
437 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
439 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
440 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
441 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
444 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
445 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
446 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
447 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
448 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
449 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
451 Refactoring / cleanups:
452 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
453 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
454 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
455 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
457 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
458 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
459 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
461 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
462 again in Catalyst::Test
464 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
467 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
468 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
471 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
474 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
475 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
476 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
478 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
481 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
482 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
485 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
486 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
490 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
491 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
492 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
493 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
494 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
496 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
497 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
498 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
499 controller naming. (random)
500 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
501 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
502 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
503 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
504 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
506 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
508 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
509 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
510 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
512 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
513 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
514 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
515 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
516 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
517 to report 'Unknown Error'
518 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
519 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
520 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
521 parse_on_demand is on
523 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
524 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
525 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
526 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
527 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
528 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
529 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
530 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
531 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
533 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
534 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
535 Test::Aggregate is available.
536 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
537 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
538 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
539 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
540 disabling functionality from base controllers.
541 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
542 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
543 incompatibility issues in some cases.
544 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
545 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
546 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
547 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
548 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
549 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
550 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
551 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
552 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
553 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
554 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
556 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
557 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
558 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
559 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
560 configuration in your application.
562 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
563 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
564 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
566 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
567 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
569 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
570 has been made private
571 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
572 the request parameters with undef + test
573 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
574 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
576 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
578 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
579 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
580 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
582 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
583 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
584 warning on recent Moose versions.
585 - Add delta documentation
586 - Clean up recursion errors
587 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
588 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef

593 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
594 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
595 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
596 tries to chain to itself
598 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
599 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
600 - Tests for this (radek)
601 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
602 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
603 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
604 - Tests for this (radek)
605 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
606 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

613 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
615 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
616 in production versions
617 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
618 the correct metaclass
619 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
620 the restarter process
621 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
622 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
624 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
625 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
626 immutable restart correctly.

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