[Catalyst] [ANNOUNCE] Catalyst-Runtime 5.80030

[Florian Ragwitz]

Hi

It gives me great pleasure to announce a new and improved version of
Catalyst-Runtime.

This fixes a couple of small bugs which were causing issues for a couple of
people.

There's also a few of minor new features. The most visible change is
probably the ability to set the response body to `undef' to indicate
that no body should be sent. Version 0.15 of
Catalyst::Action::RenderView, which is mentioned in the changelog and
which is required to make use of the aforementioned feature, will appear
on CPAN later today.


Full changelog below as always.

Cheers

 New features:
  - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
title.
  - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.

 Bug fixes:
  - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
the Content-Length header appropriately)
  - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
failing case.
  - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.

 Documentation:
  - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)

  Some updates in the dependency chain of Catalyst seem to cause a
  breakage in Catalyst. The dists in question are:
- Class::MOP
- namespace::clean
- Package::Stash
  with Package::Stash being the most likely culprit, but the dists
 above
  depend on the latest Package::Stash.
 
  Until someone more knowledgeable than me figures out what is going
 on,
 
 It's kind of hard to figure out what's going on without knowing what
 breaks for you. I'll make a WAG though:
 
 You upgraded Package::Stash to version 0.16 or greater and didn't also
 upgrade the modules the Makefile.PL output or the output of
 `package-stash-conflicts' told you were broken by that upgrade.
 
 Another guess would be you having upgraded Package::Stash as well as
 all
 the conflicting modules and happen to have Package::Stash::XS
 installed. Catalyst-Runtime used to rely on a bug in the pure-perl
 version of Package::Stash, which gets exposed by upgrading
 Package::Stash to a version that loads Package::Stash::XS
 automatically
 and having ::XS available. That happens to be fixed in 5.80030.
