- Major changes in this release:
+ See Catalyst::Delta for the 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).
