# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
+ New features and refactoring:
+ - 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.
+
+ This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
+ for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
+ (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
+
+ Deprecations:
+ - 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
+ $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

+
+ New features:
+ - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
+ is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
+ true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
+ This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
+ conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
+ < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
+ over that.
+ - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
+ bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
+ Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding

New features:
- A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
