 # 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.
