1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
5 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
9 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
10 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
11 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
12 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
13 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
14 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
15 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
17 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
18 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
19 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
20 class, please tell us *now*.
22 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
25 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
27 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
28 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
29 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
30 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
31 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
32 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
35 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
36 the Content-Length header appropriately)
37 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
38 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
39 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
40 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
41 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
42 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
44 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
45 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
46 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
47 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
48 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
49 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
50 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
51 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
54 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
55 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
57 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
60 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
61 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
65 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
66 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
68 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
71 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
73 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
74 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
76 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
78 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
81 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
83 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
86 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
87 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
88 load Utils before MyApp.pm
90 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
93 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
95 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
96 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
97 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
98 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
99 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
101 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
104 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
105 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
106 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
109 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
110 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
115 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
118 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
121 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
122 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
123 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
124 the default action creation.
127 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
128 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
129 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
130 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
131 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
132 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
133 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
136 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
138 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
140 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
142 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
145 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
146 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
147 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
148 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
149 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
152 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
153 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
156 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
157 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
158 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
159 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
161 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
164 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
165 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
166 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
167 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
168 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
169 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
170 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
171 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
174 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
175 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
176 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
178 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
179 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
180 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
181 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
184 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
185 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
188 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
189 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
192 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
195 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
196 the content type and content length if available.
198 Refactoring / optimizations:
199 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
200 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
201 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
202 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
203 screen as easy to write.
204 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
205 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
206 in parameter filtering (for example).
207 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
208 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
209 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
210 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
211 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
214 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
215 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
216 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
217 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
219 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
222 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
223 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
225 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
228 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
229 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
231 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
234 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
235 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
236 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
237 which should not be encoded.
238 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
239 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
241 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
242 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
243 any set of args/captures.
245 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
246 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
248 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
252 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
254 - Various minor typo fixes.
257 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
259 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
262 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
263 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
264 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
267 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
268 - Clarify documentation about debug
271 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
272 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
273 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
275 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
278 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
279 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
283 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
284 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
286 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
287 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
288 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
289 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
290 argv key in the options hash.
291 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
292 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
293 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
294 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
296 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
300 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
301 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
302 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
303 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
304 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
306 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
310 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
311 encoding test controller.
313 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
315 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
316 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
317 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
318 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
320 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
321 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
322 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
323 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
324 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
326 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
330 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
331 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
332 less packed with information of no use.
336 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
338 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
340 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
341 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
342 the single character '0'.
343 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
346 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
347 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
348 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
350 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
352 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
353 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
354 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
355 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
356 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
357 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
358 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
359 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
360 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
361 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
362 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
363 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
365 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
366 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
368 Refactoring / cleanups:
369 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
370 (and then skipped) normally.
373 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
375 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
378 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
379 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
380 on the old behaviour.
382 Refactoring / cleanups:
383 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
384 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
386 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
389 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
390 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
391 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
392 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
393 as there is no recommended alternative.
394 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
395 fallback for fully qualified component names.
396 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
397 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
398 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
399 startup, rather than with the first hit.
400 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
401 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
402 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
403 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
404 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
405 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
406 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
407 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
410 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
411 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
412 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
413 deprecated and causes warnings).
414 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
415 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
416 in the correct order.
417 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
419 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
420 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
421 is deprecated (RT#51489)
424 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
425 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
426 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
427 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
428 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
430 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
431 exception classes need to implement.
432 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
433 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
436 Refactoring / cleanups:
437 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
438 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
439 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
440 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
441 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
442 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
443 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
445 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
448 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
449 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
450 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
451 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
453 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
454 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
455 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
458 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
459 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
462 Refactoring / cleanups:
463 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
464 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
465 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
466 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
467 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
469 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
472 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
473 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
474 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
475 now loaded at most once + tests.
476 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
477 is returned to 'actions'.
478 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
479 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
481 Refactoring / cleanups:
482 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
483 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
486 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
487 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
488 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
490 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
493 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
494 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
497 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
500 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
501 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
502 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
504 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
507 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
508 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
509 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
511 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
514 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
515 application class immutable without that option.
516 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
517 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
519 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
520 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
521 (hopefully) future versions.
522 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
523 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
525 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
527 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
528 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
529 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
530 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
531 Request-URI of the Request-Line
533 Refactoring / cleanups:
534 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
535 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
536 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
537 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
538 known issues with 5.8.3.
539 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
540 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
543 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
544 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
545 for the controller namespace
546 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
547 expand_component_module (rjbs)
548 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
549 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
550 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
551 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
553 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
554 frontend port (jshirley)
555 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
559 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
560 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
561 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
562 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
565 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
568 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
569 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
570 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
572 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
573 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
574 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
575 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
576 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
577 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
581 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
582 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
583 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
586 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
589 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
590 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
592 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
593 in some environments.
594 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
595 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
596 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
597 except works correctly with closures.
598 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
599 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
600 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
602 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
603 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
604 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
607 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
608 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)

618 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
620 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
621 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
622 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.

641 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
644 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
645 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
648 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
649 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
653 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)

657 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
659 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23

678 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
679 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
680 to report 'Unknown Error'
681 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to

726 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
727 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

757 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
758 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
759 tries to chain to itself
761 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
762 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
763 - Tests for this (radek)

766 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
767 - Tests for this (radek)
768 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
769 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

783 the restarter process
784 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
785 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
787 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
788 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
789 immutable restart correctly.
791 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
792 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

807 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
808 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
809 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
810 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
811 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
813 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
814 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
815 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

853 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
854 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

871 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
873 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
874 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server

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

1075 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1076 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
