Changes for version 5.90003 - 2011-10-05

  • 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. RT#57011
