# 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::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
