Hi
The latest Catalyst TRIAL release (5.90008) has a significant amount
of cleanup and refactoring to enable asynchronous applications.
It shouldn't break anything, and works for me - but I need people to
try this out with their real apps and the plugins you're using -
please have a quick go with it, or even better run the tests for your
apps against it and tell me if I broke your app!
A full changelog, with details of the specific changes in the release
is included below as always.
Cheers

5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
New features and refactoring:
- Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into
Catalyst::Request
and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous
web
servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more
reenterant.
This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside
Catalyst
for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable
streaming
(for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and
Websockets).
Deprecations:
- This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI
environment
is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on
Catalyst::Request
as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
- The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The
dumper is
not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice.
Using
an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c-
>log->_dump
and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has
been scheduled
for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a
stack trace
on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
Back compatibility fixes:
- Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
$c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way
of
accessing the raw PSGI environment.
Tests:
- Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
