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. + +5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00 + + New features: + + - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args + If you have an action which has both, then you can now say: + $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]); + whereas before you had to say: + $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args); + The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is + easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between + the two. + + - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now + load and apply traits, making it easier to customise. + - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all + scripts in the application. + - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script + (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to + MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server + otherwise). + + Documentation: + + - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname + to avoid confusion + - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi + as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended. + - Remove references to the -Engine flag. + - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method + - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation + - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers + and provide an alternative. + +5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00 + + Bug fixes: + + - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through + MyApp->engine_class. + +5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00 + Bug fixes: + + - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237 + + - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions + in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that + attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found + with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ] + would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config, + whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463 + + Enhancements: + + - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the + body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall. + + Backward compatibility fixes: + + - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old + scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP + + Documentation fixes: + + - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless + you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9 + + - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method + + - Clarify use of uri_for further.
