Changes for version 5.90006 - 2011-10-25

  • 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.
