[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)
