Hi

It gives me great pleasure to announce the latest maintenance release  
of the Catalyst 5.80 series.

There are two significant changes in this release - one is to  
significantly optimise component resolution, and the other to refactor  
the debug console output generation code to make it possible to write  
the (long suggested/requested) plugin to filter things from the debug  
output.

Full changelog below as always, enjoy!

Cheers

   New features:
    - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
      the content type and content length if available.

   Refactoring / optimizations:
    - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out  
into
      log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
      log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
      plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
      screen as easy to write.
    - Make all logging of request and response state get the  
information from
      $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
      in parameter filtering (for example).
    - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non- 
regexp names
      by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
    - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once  
and cached
      by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of  
people
      developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.

   Bugs fixed:
     - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions  
registered
       with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the  
wrong URI)
     - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
       multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
