[Catalyst] Announce: Last Call - RC of C::P::Authentication

[Michael Reece]

the short answer is it does not call my store's get_user method, despite

   __PACKAGE__->config(
     authentication => { store =>  
'MyApp::Plugin::Authentication::DBI::User'}
   );

the error i get is:

[debug] find_user: unable to locate a store matching the requested realm


the new docs suggest that i shouldn't need to make any changes for  
backwards compatibility..?
