[Catalyst] [ANNOUNCE] Catalyst-Runtime-5.80004

[Tomas Doran]

The Catalyst core team is pleased to announce the availability of the 
third maintenance release of Catalyst 5.80.

This release fixes a number of bugs and regressions found in the 
previous releases, and adds the ability for roles .

As far as I can see, this fixes every regression against 5.71 reported 
thus far.

If you have an issue which has been reported, is not solved by this 
release, and is not specifically mentioned in the TODO file included in 
the distribution, then please reply into this thread..

The important fixes in this release are:

   - 'Unknown error' when your application fails to compile had been
     fixed, you will now get a proper exception.

   - Moose native applications now work correctly with non-Moose base
     classes.

   - Bug causing $c->req->parameters to be empty when parse_on_demand
     config setting was true has been fixed.

   - Fix bug with ctx_request in Catalyst::Test stopping you getting the
     context on second and subsequent requests has been fixed.

Feature additions in this release:

   - You may now use Moose Roles in the application plugin list, and
     these will be applied to your application class.

A full changelog is included below.

Many thanks
