Changes for version 5.90011 - 2012-03-08

  • Bug fixes:
    • Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_ This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore works better for extensions which have entire applications in their test suites.
    • Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using applications.
    • --background option for the server script now only closes STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch and other loggers which open a file handle when
    • Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
    • Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response callback.
