Changes for version 4.10

  • This release maintains the same API public from 4.06. Changes since the last stable release include documentation updates and refactors to the internal of CGI::Application.
  • DOCUMENTATION
    • Several documentation improvements (Mark Stosberg)
    • Reformat POD so methods are easier browse on CPAN
    • Highlight some specific, common plugins to use
    • Mention that we now have two CGI::App specific testing tools to use Test::WWW::Mechanize::CGIApp and Test::WWW::Selenium::CGIApp
    • Introduce and recommend CGI::Application::Dispatch
    • Consolidated the documentation on error_mode()
    • Split out those application methods which are essential from those that are not.
    • Use and recommend "$c" instead of "$self" to cut down on typing for something that is abstract anyway, and represented a simple "." in Perl 6.
    • Mention CGI::Application::Server for offline website development.
    • Update the introduction to clarify that we are a proven, lightweight option.
    • Removed the "experimental" flag on the error hook.
    • Mention in the second Perl.com article in the "more reading" section.
    • Document darcs repo URL. (Suggested by Gabor)

Changes for version 4.07_03

  • INTERNALS
    • The refactor to split up run() in 4.07_01 started to always pass the run mode name as an argument to run modes. The behavior has now been reverted to only pass the run mode name in the AUTOLOAD case. (Mark Stosberg)
  • DOCUMENTATION
    • Fix typo in example. Thanks to Lesley Binks.
    • document that header_props() can be usefully called with no arguments to return the current headers. Thanks to neuhaus, RT#33992.

Changes for version 4.07_02

  • DOCUMENTATION
    • typo corrections (Evan Zacks)
    • The docs for header_type() have been improved, including an example of using CGI::Applicatin::Plugin::Redirect (Mark Stosberg)
  • INTERNALS
    • Reverted switch to Class::MOP in 4.07_01, which benchmarking showed to be slower. (Mark Stosberg)
    • Beautify the code for _send_headers (Chris Dolan, Mark Stosberg)

Changes for version 4.07_01

  • INTERNALS
    • Switched from using Class::ISA to Class::MOP for introspection. Class::MOP models the way this will be done Perl6, providing the same result. (Mark Stosberg)
    • better test diagnostics (rjbs)
    • improve test coverage (rjbs)
    • improve consistency of checks for false/0len/undef (rjbs)
    • split &run up into chunks (not yet finalized). New methods currently include: __get_runmode __get_runmeth __get_body Feedback is welcome on whether these should be exposed to the user, with (possibly) better names. (rjbs)
