0.31 2010-11-09

• Fixed config in test apps to silence warnings from tests.
• Fixed module version number.
• Require File::Path 2.07.
• Made t/15busy_lock.t test more robust

0.30 2010-11-03 16:03 r13688

• Updated tests to use Cache::FileCache instead of the deprecated ::FileCache. Report and patch by Rod Taylor, RT#53304 & RT#47373.
• Fixed t/04critic.t to not fail if Test::Perl::Critic is not installed.
• Updated test app code to avoid deprecated constructs.
• Only serve GET and HEAD requests (instead of all except POST). RT#53307.
• Allow key_maker to be the name of a method to be called on $c. RT#53529.
• Assorted performance optimizations.
• Add cache_dispatch_hook and cache_finalize_hook to config. RT#53503.
• Refactored page cache storage logic, inspired by RT#53303.
• Use SHA1 to create cache key to limit length and charset. RT#62343.
• Treat the order of repeated URL parameter values as significant. Changes to page index logic used by clear_cached_page():
• Documented race-hazard risks with page index concept.
• Reduced the race-hazard risk in one scenario.
• Added app class name to index key for added safety.
• clear_cached_page() now returns the number of entries matched.
• page index keys are original /path?query not altered by key_maker or sha1.
• Now warns if disable_index is not explicitly set in config.
• disable_index may default true in a future release.

0.22 2009-06-25 10:38:00

• Update to use MRO::Compat

0.21 2008-10-02 10:45:00

• Check for FileCache in new test to avoid test failures.

0.20 2008-10-02 00:15:00

• Config option 'cache_headers' to cache HTTP headers. This is needed if operating behind edge caches such as Akamai. (Chris Alef)
• Config option 'busy_lock' borrowed from Mason, avoids the "dog-pile" effect where many concurrent requests can generate and cache the same page. See the documentation for details.
• The ability to call clear_cached_page can be disabled to improve performance (a cache index will not be created/updated).

0.19 2008-08-22 13:00:00

• Change config namespace to $c->config->{'Plugin::PageCache'}, old namespace will still continue to work.
• key_maker method, allows custom cache keys to be used. (Martin Ellison)

0.18 2008-04-25 11:30:00

• cache_hook method, run a method before returning a cached page. (J. Shirley)

0.17 2007-07-29 22:00:00

• If using C::P::I18N, allow caching of different versions of a single URI based on the page language. (Roberto Henríquez)

0.16 2007-07-24 10:30:00

• Fixed a bug where pages with query strings but no params did not have the cache key created properly.
• Switched to Module::Install.

0.15 2006-12-31 20:04:03

• Don't cache pages with errors.

0.14 2006-10-19 22:15:00

• Support newer C::P::Cache modules.

0.13 2006-08-12 14:43:00

• Add optional support to check Authentication plugin if user is logged in. (marcus)

0.12 2006-03-09 16:30:00

• Fixed race condition in HTTP header test.
• Fixed Content-type to retain charset (moseley)
• Send cache headers on all requests (was not sending on first request) (moseley)
• Added ability to pass in a DateTime object to expire at a specific time (moseley)
• Added ability to pass in an options list to set the cache expires time separately from the expires time sent to client. (moseley)
• Test If-Modified-Since headers on request that loads the page cache. Was only testing when returning a page already in the page cache. (moseley)
• Now sends Expires and Cache-Control headers on 304 to reset client cache. (moseley)
• Allow setting a zero expires to allow just page caching. (moseley)

0.11 2005-09-13 14:50:00

• Fixed MANIFEST.

0.10 2005-09-13 14:00:00

• Fixed bug in cache key generation that ignored duplicate key names.
• Fixed bug where clear_cached_page called with a regex did not properly remove the page from cache.
• Fixed bug where cache metadata was not set properly if content-type or content-encoding was missing.
• Added test suite.
• Code cleanup per Best Practices.

0.09 2005-06-27 11:25:00

• Removed dependence on HTTP::Date.
• Make sure the same cache key checked during the dispatch phase is used during the finalize phase. This avoids problems if the user adds or deletes request parameters.

0.08 2005-06-16 00:20:00

• Debug is now enabled by default if in Catalyst -Debug mode.
• Expires now properly defaults to undef for Cache::Memcached backend.

0.07 2005-06-13 23:15:00

• Bugfix: Define auto_cache to an empty arrayref if not specified.

0.06 2005-06-07 23:40:00

• Die if no cache plugin is loaded. (chansen)
• Changed to isa() for cache backend detection. (chansen)

0.05 2005-06-06 23:15:00

• Fixed bug in clear_cached_page when cache index is not available.
• Added cache backend detection in order to properly keep the cache index from expiring when possible.
• Remove page from cache index when it has expired.
