+
+ Bug fixes:
- Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
application class immutable without that option.
- Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
variables (RT#48555)
- Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
(RT#48623)
+ - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
+ body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
+ when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
+ - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
+ Request-URI of the Request-Line
Refactoring / cleanups:
- Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
- New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
- Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
- known issues with 5.8.3, and nobody is prepared to fix / support perl
- older than 5.8.6 any more. Patches to regain compatibility to older
- perls would be welcome.
+ known issues with 5.8.3.
- Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
New features:
- - private_path method for Catalyst::Action

+ - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
+ - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
for the controller namespace
- - break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
+ - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
expand_component_module (rjbs)
+ - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
+ correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
+ as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
+ which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
+ actions etc.
+ - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
+ frontend port (jshirley)
+ - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
+ the request.
