Re: [Catalyst] [ANNOUNCE] Catalyst Runtime 5.80001
Congratulations to all for this much awaited version! I want to report something that might be a packaging bug, or maybe you can tell me what could be the problem... This version requires MooseX-MethodAttributes-0.05.tar.gz and I couldn't install this module under Windows using CPAN. The cpan command installed it fine, without any errors, but the directory MethodAttributes was not installed and neither the sub-directories and files under it. I've downloaded from cpan.org, unarchived it with WinRar but WinRar tried to unarchive all the files and directories from this package in the same directory, which doesn't happends with other CPAN modules. Finally I've unarchived it with 7zip, compiled and it installed fine. Catalyst-Runtime installed fine under Windows XP.

This release is the result of the helpful contributions of a large number of people, comprising documentation, new features, bug fixes and entire branches of refactoring, and has taken over twelve months work.

The major focus of this release is refactoring, and porting to Moose, which enables a lot of additional features, and gives you, the user, a lot of additional power to use when building your applications, and gives the Catalyst team a lot of power for extending the framework.
