=head2 Deprecations
+Please see L<Catalyst::Upgrading> for a full description of how changes in the
+framework may affect your application.
+
+Below is a brief list of features which have been deprecated in this release:
+
=over
=item ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme has been deprecated and will warn
-=item Use Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT (rafl)
+=item NEXT is deprecated for all applications and components, use MRO::Compat
+
+=item Dispatcher methods which are an implementation detail made private, public versions now warn.
-Catalyst 5.80 uses L<Algorithm::C3> method dispatch order. This is built into
-perl 5.10 (new pragma mro), and comes via L<Class::C3> for perl 5.8. This
-replaces L<NEXT> with L<Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT>, forcing all components to
-resolve methods using C3, rather than the unpredictable dispatch order of
-L<NEXT>. Please "use MRO::Compat" in both perl 5.8 and perl 5.10 to activate
-this feature.
-- Disallow writing to config after setup and disallow calling setup more
-than once (rafl)
+=item MyApp->plugin method is deprecated, use L<Catalyst::Model::Adaptor> instead.
-=item Dispatcher methods
+=item __PACKAGE__->mk_accessors() is supported for backward compatibility only, use Moose attributes instead in new code.

+=head2 New features

+=head3 Dispatcher
Fix forwarding to Catalyst::Action objects (Rafael Kitover).
-=head2 Restarter
+=head3 Restarter
The development server restarter has been improved to be compatible with
immutable Moose classes, and also to optionally use
L<B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange> to handle more complex application layouts
correctly.
-=head2 $c->uri_for_action method. (hdp)
+=head3 $c->uri_for_action method. (hdp)
A private path to the Catalyst action you want to create a URI for.
This is a shortcut for calling C<< $c->dispatcher->get_action_by_path($path) >>
and passing the resulting C<$action> and the remaining arguments to
C<< $c->uri_for >>.

+=head3 Logging
Log levels have been madeadditive, and add documentation to the setup_log
method.

+=item Change to use L<Sub::Exporter>.

+
+=item Support mocking multiple virtual hosts
+
+=item New methods like action_ok and action_redirect to write more compact tests
+
+=back
+
+=head3 $c->response->print()
+
+Prints @data to the output stream, separated by $,. This lets you pass
+the response object to functions that want to write to an L<IO::Handle>.
