      • Fix Pod to show less nasty method of assigning config by calling the config method with parameters, rather than poking around inside the hash.

    • 0.20 2007-09-24 10:00:00
      • Fixed issue where the static dir regex did not add a trailing slash so URLs such as /static1 were served as static when they should be handled by Catalyst. (Will Hawes)

    • 0.19 2007-07-02 17:00:00

      • Fixed bug where 204 or 304 status codes would result in a 500 error under mod_perl.
      • Switch to Module::Install.
    • 0.15 2006-12-08 22:30:00
      • Quote metacharacters used in $c->config->{dirs} (Vlad Dan Dascalescu)
      • store Mime::Types object in config hash instead of as classdata
      • cleanup code a bit
    • 0.14 2006-03-24 11:15:00
      • Unescape the URI path before looking for the file. This fixes issues with files that have spaces.
    • 0.13 2005-12-15 10:00:00
      • Fixed bug in ignore_dirs under win32.
      • Doc rewriting
    • 0.12 (released only with Catalyst)
      • Made prepare_action play nice with other plugins by not short- circuiting.
      • Added tmpl to the ignored extensions.
      • Fixed security problem if req->path contained '..'.
    • 0.11 2005-11-13 16:25:00
      • Removed the code that set the 304 Not Modified header. This caused problems with IE under Apache.
      • Changed 5.50 writing method to pass an IO::File object directly to $c->res->body.
      • This version is included with Catalyst 5.50.
    • 0.10 2005-10-19 17:20:00
      • Added tt2 to the list of ignored extensions.
      • For Catalyst 5.5+, replaced File::Slurp with a buffered read/write process. This will improve memory usage and performance on larger static files.
      • Removed Apache integration feature. It is slower than serving through Catalyst and as far as I know no one is using it. If you need the best performance, use a separate Location block for static content.
    • 0.09 2005-10-07 13:40:00
      • Added new configuration options to improve security: ignore_extensions - keep certain extensions from being static
        • This option defaults to tt, html, and xhtml to prevent template files from being accessible. ignore_dirs - keep certain dirs from being static
      • include_path is no longer experimental.
      • Added support for hiding log output, depends on Cat 5.50. (Marcus Ramberg)
    • 0.08 2005-09-07 18:50:00
      • Added tests for everything except Apache support.
    • 0.07 2005-09-05 21:05:00
      • POD fixes. (Thomas L. Shinnick)
    • 0.06 2005-09-05 15:40:00
      • Moved initial file check into prepare_action so processing can bypass other plugins.
      • Added error-checking to static dir regexes.
      • Cleaned up various code as per Best Practices.
    • 0.05 2005-08-26 12:00:00
      • Added use_apache option to enable the Apache DECLINED support. Default is disabled as it appears Catalyst is faster at serving the files!
      • Added a check that Apache's DocumentRoot matches Catalyst's root before serving DECLINED.
      • Preload MIME::Types index during setup() so it's not built on the first request.
      • Added a note on performance of Apache vs. Catalyst.
    • 0.04 2005-08-22 12:00:00
      • Fixed bug where static files were searched for on every request even without a file extension.
      • Fixed bug where files without extensions in defined static dirs were not served with text/plain.
      • Consolidated the debug log messages.
    • 0.03 2005-08-21 23:50:00
      • Added config option for include_path to allow for multiple directories with static files. This option should be considered experimental!
      • Documentation cleanups.
    • 0.02 2005-08-16 18:00:00
      • Return DECLINED when running under mod_perl to allow Apache to serve the static file. This is not done when any custom MIME types have been specified, however.
    • 0.01 2005-08-11 22:00:00
      • Initial release.
