Perl Catalyst: 5.90089_003 is Proposed Stable

Hi All.

Last night I finished my regression testing on the current development release of Perl Catalyst (https://metacpan.org/release/JJNAPIORK/Catalyst-Runtime-5.90089_003/)  This release is looking good from my angle (and the previous 002 release also accumulated a solid passing record on CPAN Testers, leading me to feel the code is starting to shape up).   As a result dev003 is proposed stable.  This means we are not introducing new changes beyond documentation updates unless regression appear.  If none do so I will release this as 5.90090 sometime this week.  If we need to fix bugs we will release a dev004 and start from the beginning ;)

This release is expected to continue to be widely backwards compatible and I would expect all versions of catalyst post 5.8xxxx to run with minimal to no modification, which should mostly require configuration setting changes and following advice in the Catalyst::Upgrading document.  Now is the time to report bugs this version of Catalyst introduces into your code, rather than later when I am chilling out for the summer ;)

 

Perl Catalyst Community Poll and new Development Release!

Morning all,

There's a new poll aimed at the community: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YWGSWLR

Its only eight questions so shouldn't cause you a lot of trouble at work :)  Please take a look.

We also release the second development cut of Perl Catalyst Australorp, which is going to eventually be the 5.9009x stable branch.  The big changes are we tightened up type constraint checking on your args / capture args and we cored a few Catalyst extensibility features previously found only in external modules.  Current development will continue around these bits and I hope to revisit some of the tasks around web API development, since that's a hot topic!

So far this is shaping up to be a pretty stable release but please git it a go on your local code and report issues.

We've also been trying to clear out old issue in the RT bug report for Catalyst.  If you have an old bug report that has been long closed or is no longer relevent please consider logging in and closing it for me:
