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)
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)
22 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
23 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
25 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
28 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
29 the content type and content length if available.
31 Refactoring / optimizations:
32 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
33 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
34 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
35 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
36 screen as easy to write.
37 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
38 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
39 in parameter filtering (for example).
40 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
41 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
42 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
43 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
44 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
47 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
48 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
49 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
50 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
52 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
55 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
56 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
58 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
61 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
62 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
64 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
67 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
68 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
69 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
70 which should not be encoded.
71 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
72 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
74 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
75 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
76 any set of args/captures.
78 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
79 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
81 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
85 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
87 - Various minor typo fixes.
90 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
92 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
95 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
96 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
97 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
100 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
101 - Clarify documentation about debug
104 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
105 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
106 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
108 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
111 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
112 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
116 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
117 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
119 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
120 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
121 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
122 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
123 argv key in the options hash.
124 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
125 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
126 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
127 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
129 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
133 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
134 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
135 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
136 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
137 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
139 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
143 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
144 encoding test controller.
146 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
148 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
149 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
150 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
151 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
153 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
154 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
155 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
156 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
157 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
159 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
163 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
164 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
165 less packed with information of no use.
169 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
171 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
173 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
174 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
175 the single character '0'.
176 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
179 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
180 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
181 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
183 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
185 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
186 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
187 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
188 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
189 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
190 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
191 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
192 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
193 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
194 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
195 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
196 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
198 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
199 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
201 Refactoring / cleanups:
202 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
203 (and then skipped) normally.
206 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
208 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
211 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
212 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
213 on the old behaviour.
215 Refactoring / cleanups:
216 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
217 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
219 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
222 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
223 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
224 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
225 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
226 as there is no recommended alternative.
227 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
228 fallback for fully qualified component names.
229 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
230 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
231 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
232 startup, rather than with the first hit.
233 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
234 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
235 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
236 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
237 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
238 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
239 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
240 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
243 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
244 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
245 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
246 deprecated and causes warnings).
247 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
248 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
249 in the correct order.
250 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
252 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
253 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
254 is deprecated (RT#51489)
257 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
258 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
259 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
260 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
261 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
263 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
264 exception classes need to implement.
265 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
266 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
269 Refactoring / cleanups:
270 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
271 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
272 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
273 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
274 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
275 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
276 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
278 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
281 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
282 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
283 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
284 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
286 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
287 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
288 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
291 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
292 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
295 Refactoring / cleanups:
296 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
297 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
298 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
299 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
300 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
302 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
305 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
306 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
307 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
308 now loaded at most once + tests.
309 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
310 is returned to 'actions'.
311 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
312 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
314 Refactoring / cleanups:
315 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
316 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
319 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
320 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
321 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
323 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
326 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
327 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
330 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
333 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
334 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
335 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
337 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
340 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
341 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
342 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
344 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
347 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
348 application class immutable without that option.
349 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
350 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
352 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
353 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
354 (hopefully) future versions.
355 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
356 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
358 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
360 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
361 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
362 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
363 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
364 Request-URI of the Request-Line
366 Refactoring / cleanups:
367 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
368 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
369 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
370 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
371 known issues with 5.8.3.
372 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
373 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
376 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
377 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
378 for the controller namespace
379 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
380 expand_component_module (rjbs)
381 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
382 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
383 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
384 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
386 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
387 frontend port (jshirley)
388 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
392 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
393 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
394 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
395 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
398 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
401 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
402 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
403 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
405 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
406 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
407 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
408 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
409 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
410 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
414 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
415 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
416 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
419 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
422 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
423 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
425 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
426 in some environments.
427 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
428 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
429 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
430 except works correctly with closures.
431 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
432 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
433 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
435 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
436 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
437 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
440 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
441 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
442 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
443 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
444 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
445 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
447 Refactoring / cleanups:
448 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
449 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
450 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
451 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
453 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
454 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
455 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
457 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
458 again in Catalyst::Test
460 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
463 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
464 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
467 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
470 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
471 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
472 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
474 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
477 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
478 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
481 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
482 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
486 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
487 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
488 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
489 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
490 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
492 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
493 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
494 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
495 controller naming. (random)
496 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
497 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
498 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
499 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
500 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
502 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
504 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
505 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
506 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
508 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
509 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
510 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
511 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
512 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
513 to report 'Unknown Error'
514 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
515 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
516 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
517 parse_on_demand is on
519 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
520 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
521 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
522 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
523 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
524 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
525 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
526 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
527 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
529 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
530 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
531 Test::Aggregate is available.
532 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
533 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
534 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
535 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
536 disabling functionality from base controllers.
537 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
538 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
539 incompatibility issues in some cases.
540 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
541 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
542 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
543 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
544 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
545 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
546 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
547 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
548 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
549 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
550 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
552 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
553 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
554 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
555 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
556 configuration in your application.
558 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
559 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
560 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
562 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
563 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
565 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
566 has been made private
567 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
568 the request parameters with undef + test
569 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
570 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
572 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
574 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
575 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
576 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
578 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
579 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
580 warning on recent Moose versions.
581 - Add delta documentation
582 - Clean up recursion errors
583 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
584 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
586 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
587 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
589 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
590 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
591 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
592 tries to chain to itself
594 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
595 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
596 - Tests for this (radek)
597 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
598 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
599 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
600 - Tests for this (radek)
601 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
602 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
603 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
604 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
606 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
607 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
609 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
611 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
612 in production versions
613 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
614 the correct metaclass
615 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
616 the restarter process
617 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
618 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
620 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
621 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
622 immutable restart correctly.
624 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
625 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

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

707 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server

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