# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
- Fixed extensions:
+5.90000 - UNRELEASED
- - A number of modules have been updated to pass their tests or not
+ Major changes in this release:
+
+ The Catalyst::Engine classes have all been removed and deprecated,
+ to be replaced with Plack handlers.
+
+ Plack is an implementation of the PSGI specification, which is
+ a standard interface between web servers and application frameworks.
+
+ This should be no different for developers, and you should not have to
+ migrate your applications unless you are using a custom engine already.
+
+ This change benefits Catalyst significantly by reducing the amount of
+ code inside the framework, and means that the framework gets upstream
+ bug fixes in Plack, and automatically gains support for any web server
+ which a PSGI compliant handler is written for.
+
+ It also allows you more flexibility with your application, and allows
+ the use of cross web framework 'middleware'.
+
+ Developers are recommended to read Catalyst::Upgrading for notes about
+ upgrading, especially if you are using an unusual deployment method.
+
+ Documentation for how to take advantage of PSGI can be found in
+ Catalyst::PSGI, and information about deploying your application
+ has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment.
+
+ A number of modules have been updated to pass their tests or not
produce deprecation warnings with the latest version of Catalyst.
+ It is recommended that you upgrade any of these that you are using
+ after installing this version of Catalyst.
