The Catalyst core team is pleased to announce the availability of the
latest maintenance release of Catalyst-Runtime, version 5.80008.
A number of bugs have been fixed, and a load of small but useful

A full changelog is included below. Thanks to everybody who contributed
to this release, and I hope you enjoy it.

Bug fixes:
- Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
application class immutable without that option.
- Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
tests.
- Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
(hopefully) future versions.
- In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
variables (RT#48555)
- Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some
cases (RT#48623)
- Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the
response body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This
avoids fail when trying to send out an empty response body from a
filehandle.
- Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
Request-URI of the Request-Line
Refactoring / cleanups:
- Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
- New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
- Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
known issues with 5.8.3, and nobody is prepared to fix / support perl
older than 5.8.6 any more. Patches to regain compatibility to older
perls would be welcome.
- Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable
output when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
New features:
- Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
- Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
for the controller namespace
- Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
expand_component_module (rjbs)
- Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all
components which returns the component instance's name to be used
when building actions etc.
- Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
frontend port (jshirley)
- Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
the request.
Documentation:
- Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
- Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
- Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
