1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
5 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
6 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
7 the default action creation.
10 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
11 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
12 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
13 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
16 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
18 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
20 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
22 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
25 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
26 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
27 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
28 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
29 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
32 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
33 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
36 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
37 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
38 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
41 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
44 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
45 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
46 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
47 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
48 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
49 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
50 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
51 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
54 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
55 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
56 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
58 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
59 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
60 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
61 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
64 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
65 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
68 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
69 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
72 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
75 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
76 the content type and content length if available.
78 Refactoring / optimizations:
79 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
80 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
81 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
82 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
83 screen as easy to write.
84 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
85 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
86 in parameter filtering (for example).
87 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
88 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
89 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
90 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
91 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
94 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
95 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
96 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
97 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
99 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
102 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
103 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
105 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
108 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
109 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
111 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
114 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
115 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
116 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
117 which should not be encoded.
118 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
119 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
121 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
122 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
123 any set of args/captures.
125 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
126 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
128 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
132 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
134 - Various minor typo fixes.
137 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
139 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
142 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
143 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
144 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
147 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
148 - Clarify documentation about debug
151 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
152 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
153 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
155 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
158 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
159 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
163 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
164 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
166 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
167 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
168 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
169 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
170 argv key in the options hash.
171 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
172 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
173 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
174 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
176 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
180 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
181 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
182 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
183 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
184 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
186 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
190 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
191 encoding test controller.
193 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
195 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
196 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
197 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
198 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
200 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
201 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
202 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
203 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
204 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
206 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
210 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
211 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
212 less packed with information of no use.
216 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
218 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
220 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
221 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
222 the single character '0'.
223 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
226 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
227 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
228 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
230 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
232 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
233 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
234 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
235 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
236 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
237 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
238 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
239 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
240 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
241 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
242 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
243 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
245 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
246 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
248 Refactoring / cleanups:
249 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
250 (and then skipped) normally.
253 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
255 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
258 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
259 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
260 on the old behaviour.
262 Refactoring / cleanups:
263 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
264 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
266 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
269 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
270 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
271 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
272 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
273 as there is no recommended alternative.
274 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
275 fallback for fully qualified component names.
276 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
277 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
278 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
279 startup, rather than with the first hit.
280 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
281 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
282 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
283 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
284 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
285 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
286 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
287 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
290 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
291 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
292 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
293 deprecated and causes warnings).
294 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
295 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
296 in the correct order.
297 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
299 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
300 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
301 is deprecated (RT#51489)
304 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
305 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
306 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
307 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
308 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
310 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
311 exception classes need to implement.
312 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
313 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
316 Refactoring / cleanups:
317 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
318 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
319 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
320 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
321 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
322 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
323 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
325 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
328 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
329 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
330 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
331 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
333 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
334 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
335 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
338 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
339 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
342 Refactoring / cleanups:
343 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
344 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
345 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
346 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
347 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
349 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
352 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
353 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
354 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
355 now loaded at most once + tests.
356 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
357 is returned to 'actions'.
358 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
359 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
361 Refactoring / cleanups:
362 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
363 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
366 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
367 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
368 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
370 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
373 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
374 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
377 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
380 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
381 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
382 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
384 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
387 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
388 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
389 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
391 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
394 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
395 application class immutable without that option.
396 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
397 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
399 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
400 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
401 (hopefully) future versions.
402 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
403 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
405 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
407 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
408 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
409 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
410 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
411 Request-URI of the Request-Line
413 Refactoring / cleanups:
414 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
415 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
416 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
417 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
418 known issues with 5.8.3.
419 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
420 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
423 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
424 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
425 for the controller namespace
426 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
427 expand_component_module (rjbs)
428 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
429 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
430 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
431 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
433 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
434 frontend port (jshirley)
435 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
439 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
440 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
441 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
442 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
445 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
448 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
449 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
450 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
452 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
453 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
454 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
455 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
456 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
457 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
461 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
462 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
463 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
466 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
469 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
470 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
472 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
473 in some environments.
474 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
475 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
476 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
477 except works correctly with closures.
478 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
479 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
480 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
482 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
483 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
484 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
487 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
488 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
489 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
490 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
491 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
492 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
494 Refactoring / cleanups:
495 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
496 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
497 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
498 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
500 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
501 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
502 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
504 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
505 again in Catalyst::Test
507 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
510 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
511 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
514 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
517 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
518 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
519 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
521 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
524 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
525 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
528 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
529 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
533 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
534 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
535 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
536 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
537 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
539 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
540 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
541 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
542 controller naming. (random)
543 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
544 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
545 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
546 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
547 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
549 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
551 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
552 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
553 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
555 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
556 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
557 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
558 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
559 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
560 to report 'Unknown Error'
561 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
562 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
563 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
564 parse_on_demand is on
566 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
567 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
568 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
569 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
570 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
571 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
572 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
573 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
574 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
576 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
577 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
578 Test::Aggregate is available.
579 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
580 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
581 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
582 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
583 disabling functionality from base controllers.
584 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
585 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
586 incompatibility issues in some cases.
587 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
588 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
589 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
590 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
591 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
592 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
593 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
594 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
595 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
596 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
597 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
599 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
600 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
601 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
602 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
603 configuration in your application.

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

617 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
619 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
621 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
622 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
623 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
625 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18

630 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
631 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
633 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
634 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
636 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
637 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
638 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
639 tries to chain to itself
641 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
642 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
643 - Tests for this (radek)
644 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
645 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
646 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
647 - Tests for this (radek)
648 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
649 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
650 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
651 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
653 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
654 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
656 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
658 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
659 in production versions
660 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
661 the correct metaclass
662 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
663 the restarter process
664 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
665 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
667 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
668 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
669 immutable restart correctly.

685 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
686 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
687 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
688 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
689 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
690 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
691 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
693 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
694 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
695 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
698 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
