# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
+ Bug fixes:
+ - 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.
+
+5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
+
+ 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
+
+5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
+
+ 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
+
+5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
+
+ 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
+ application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
+ get them passed through to the application.
+
+ Doumentation:
+ - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
+ proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
+ enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
+ Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
+ other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
+ meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
+ context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
+ a value.
+ This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
+ both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
+ '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
+
+ - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
+ in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.

New features:
- $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
