Hi

It gives me great pleasure to announce the latest maintenance release  
of Catalyst-Runtime, which fixes issues for some users on perl  
versions 5.8 and 5.10, fixes issues with mod_perl behind a proxy and  
adds a couple of new features and documentation fixes.

Full changelog as always is below.

Cheers

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.

   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.
