Changes for version 5.90008 (TRIAL RELEASE)

  • 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
