3.00 Jun 16, 2011

[FEATURES]

• PSGI support is improved. CGI::Application::Dispatch is now been rewritten and is included in this distribution. It is no longer a wrapper around the older dispatcher, but is completely PSGI-native. Performance should be improved a bit as well.

[THINGS THAT MIGHT BREAK YOUR CODE] As part of the significant update to PSGI support, you'll need to update a couple lines of code in your "dispatch.cgi" script if you were using an older version of CGI::Application::Dispatch::PSGI. See the section on "Backwards Compatibility" in that documentation.

[INTERNALS]

• CGI::Application 4.5 is now required for the newer native PSGI support.
• Exceptions in CGI::Application::Dispatch::PSGI are now handled with HTTP::Exception. This in turn depends on HTTP::Status, which is currently in a distribution which depends on HTML::Parser, which depends having a C-compiler available. I don't consider this ideal, as I'd like to be able to support the easy installation of a pure-Perl CGI::Application stack. This could possibly be addressed in the future by removing the false dependency on a C-compiler from HTTP::Status, or we could return to use Exception::Class directly for exception handling.

  The except format of the default thrown exceptions may change in the future.

2.18 Sep 9, 2010

• Update Build.PL to require a newer version of "version", to address a rare installation problem. (RT#56283) Thanks to Jim Brandt and others.

2.17 Dec 30, 2009

• Update examples to use FindBin::Real instead of FindBin, since FindBin is not fully mod_perl compatible. (Mark Stosberg)
• Fix typo in POD (Alexander Becker)

2.16 Mar 23, 2009

• Fix: "$app->run() error handler breaks exception objects." RT#43340 (dekimsey)
• Documentation improvements (Dave Baker, thinc)
• remove "Makefile.PL", which appears to related to some test failures. Build.PL seems to work reliably. If removing Makefile.PL is a problem for you, maybe you have a better solution to RT#39793: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39793 (Mark Stosberg)

2.15 Dec 4, 2008

• Logging improvement: Quit duplicating $ENV{REQUEST_URI} for Not Found requests (Mark Stosberg)
• Logging improvement: Remove stray "'" character (Mark Stosberg)

2.14 Nov 2, 2008

• New feature: $ENV{PATH_INFO} is now abstracted through dispatch_path(). (RT#34069, Bradley Bailey)
• Attempted fix for "Couldn't open t/TEST.PL" error, RT#39793. Add comments to that ticket if you still have "make test" problems with Apache::Test. (Puneet Kishor, Kevin, Mark Stosberg) http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=39793

2.13 Sep 16, 2008
