          present a list (t0m)
        - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
          test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with

        - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
          - Test for this (t0m)

          Patch written by Oleg Kostyuk <cub.uanic@gmail.com>
        - Improve docs for visit (mateu)
        - Add docs for finalize hook (dhoss)
        - Added ru/ua translations to error page

        - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
        - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
          parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

          it isn't a hashref (t0m)
        - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the

        - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller (t0m)

        - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
          breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
        - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from 
          Catalyst::Dispatcher (t0m)
        - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors (t0m)
        - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on 
          Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by 
          Catalyst::Plugin::Server and  Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL 
          (t0m)
        - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body

          - Test for this (t0m)
        - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action

        - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
          postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

          - Tests for this (t0m)
        - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making 
          test sync for engines easier (t0m)
        - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
          Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
          components (Florian Ragwitz)
        - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)
        - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
          rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)
        - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
          method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their 
          own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp (t0m)
          - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp (t0m)
        - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method

          to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins (t0m)
        - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
          for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
          Sewn together by t0m from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
        - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
          method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on (t0m)
        - Add a clearer method on request and response _context 
          attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
          the key from the instance hash (t0m)
        - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
          trivial delegation methods (t0m)
        - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
          Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
          Catalyst::Engine::CGI: _header_buf
          Catalyst::Engine::HTTP: options, _keepalive, _write_error
          Catalyst::Request: _path
          Catalyst::Stats: tree
          (t0m)
        - Fix issues in Catalyst::Controller::WrapCGI 
          and any other components which import (or define) their

        - Compose the MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast role to

5.7099_03 2008-07-20 10:10:00
        - Fix regressions for regexp fallback in model(), view() and controller()
        - Added the supplied argument to the regexp fallback warning for easier
          debugging

5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
        - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
          throw warnings for two reasons:
          1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
             -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
             instead
          2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp 
             fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
             method with a regex as the argument
        - remove 0-length query string components so warnings aren't thrown (RT #36428)

        - Added the ability to remove parameters in req->uri_with() by passing in
          an undef value (RT #34782)
        - Added $c->go, to do an internal redispatch to another action, while retaining the
          contents of the stash

5.7014  2008-05-25 15:26:00
        - Addition of .conf in restart regex in Catalyst::Engine::HTTP::Restarter::Watcher
        - Fix regression for relative uri_for arguments after a forward()   
          introduced in 5.7013 (Peter Karman)  
        - Fix regression for "sub foo : Path {}" in the root controller which 
          was introduced when attempting to allow "0" as a Path.

        - Provide backwards compatability methods in Catalyst::Stats
        - Fix subdirs for scripts that run in subdirs more than one level deep.

        - Add Catalyst::Stats (Jon Schutz)

          symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)

        - Fixed bug where req->base and req->uri would include a port number when running
          in SSL mode.
        - Removed unnecessary sprintf in debug mode that caused warnings on locales where
          commas are used for decimal markers.
        - Improved error message for case when server picks up editor save
          files as module names. (James Mastros)

5.7010  2007-08-22 07:41:00
        - Resource forks in 5.7009

        - Fixed a bug where Content-Length could be set to 0 if a filehandle
          object in $c->response->body did not report a size.
        - Fixed issue where development server running in fork mode did not
          properly exit after a write error.

          would not be sent properly.

5.7007  2007-03-13 14:18:00
        - Many performance improvements by not using URI.pm:
          * $c->uri_for (approx. 8x faster)
          * $c->engine->prepare_path (approx. 27x faster)
          * $c->engine->prepare_query_parameters (approx. 5x faster)

        - Skip body processing if we don't have a Content-Length header.
          Results in about a 9% performance increase when handling GET/HEAD
          requests.
        - Add a default body to redirect responses.
        - MyApp->model/view now looks at MyApp->config->{default_view/model}
