 Documentation:
  - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
    calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
    directly.
  - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
  - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
  - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710

5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00

 Bug fixes:
  - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
    We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
    only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
    dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
    This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
    works better for extensions which have entire applications in
    their test suites.
  - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
    applications.
  - --background option for the server script now only closes
    STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
    and other loggers which open a file handle when
  - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
    so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
  - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
    callback.

5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00

 Bug fixes:
  - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
    in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
    This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
    perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.

5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00

 Bug fixes:
  - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
    refactoring.

  - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
    is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
    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.

  - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
    issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
    which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.

  - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043

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.
