# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
+ We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
+ only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
+ dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
+ This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
+ works better for extensions which have entire applications in
+ their test suites.
+ - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
+ applications.
+ - --background option for the server script now only closes
+ STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
+ and other loggers which open a file handle when

+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
+ in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
+ This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
+ perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.

+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
+ refactoring.
+
+ - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
+ is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
+ lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
+ included when not running from a checkout.
+
+ - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
+
+ - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
+ issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
+ which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.

New features and refactoring:
- - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Reqiest
+ - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
(for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
Deprecations:
- This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
+ - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
+ - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
+ not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
+ an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
+ and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
+ for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
+ on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
+
Back compatibility fixes:
- Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
+ - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
$c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
accessing the raw PSGI environment.
+ Tests:
+ - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
+
Documentation:
- Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
+ - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
+ documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
+ in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
