# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
+5.90000 - UNRELEASED
+
+ 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.
+
+ These extensions are:
+
+ Catalyst::Engine::HTTP::Prefork - this is now deprecated, see
+ Catalyst::Upgrading.
+
+ Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst - has been updated to not produce
+ deprecation warnings.
+
+ Catalyst::ActionRole::ACL - has been updated to fix failing tests
+ (although older versions still function perfectly with this
+ version of Catalyst).
+
+ Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::DBIC - has been updated to fix
+ failing tests (although older versions still function perfectly
+ with this version of Catalyst).
+
+ Changelong since the last TRIAL release:
+
+ Backward compatibility fixes:
+
+ - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
+
+ - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
+ This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
+ for backward compatibility.
+
+ Documentation:
+
+ - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
+ has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
+
+ Changes:
+
+ - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
+ web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
+ documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)

+5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
+
+ Backward compatibility fixes:
+
+ - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
+ Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
+
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
+ been made immutable.
+
+ - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
+ on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
+ example) Coro is loaded.
+
+ - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
+ the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
+
+ - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
+ using MooseX::Deamonize
+
+ - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
+ automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
+ (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
+ This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
+ deployed in these environments.
+
+ Enhancements:
+
+ - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
+ the remote request.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
+ file for your application.
+
+ - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
+ engines clarified.
+
+ Deprecations:
+ - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
+ use the normal request function against a local server instead.
