Catalyst::Upgrading - Instructions for upgrading to the latest Catalyst
+=head1 Upgrading to Catalyst 5.90080
+
+UTF8 encoding is now default. For temporary backwards compatibility, if this
+change is causing you trouble, you can disable it by setting the application
+configuration option to undef:
+
+ MyApp->config(encoding => undef);
+
+But please consider this a temporary measure since it is the intention that
+UTF8 is enabled going forwards and the expectation is that other ecosystem
+projects will assume this as well. At some point you application will not
+correctly function without this setting.
+
+A number of projects in the wider ecosystem required minor updates to be able
+to work correctly. Here's the known list:
+
+L<Catalyst::View::TT>, L<Catalyst::View::Mason>, L<Catalyst::View::HTML::Mason>,
+L<Catalyst::View::Xslate>, L<Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst>
+
+You will need to update to modern versions in most cases, although quite a few
+of these only needed minor test case and documentation changes so you will need
+to review the changelog of each one that is relevant to you to determine your
+true upgrade needs.

+
+Starting in the v5.90059_001 development release, the regexp dispatch type is
+no longer automatically included as a dependency. If you are still using this
+dispatch type, you need to add L<Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex> into your build
+system.
+
+The standalone distribution of Regexp will be supported for the time being, but
+should we find that supporting it prevents us from moving L<Catalyst> forward
+in necessary ways, we reserve the right to drop that support. It is highly
+recommended that you use this last stage of deprecation to change your code.
