Changes for version 3.00

  • FEATURES
    • PSGI support is improved. CGI::Application::Dispatch is now been rewritten and is included in this distribution. It is no longer a wrapper around the older dispatcher, but is completely PSGI-native. Performance should be improved a bit as well.
  • THINGS THAT MIGHT BREAK YOUR CODE
    • As part of the significant update to PSGI support, you'll need to update a couple lines of code in your "dispatch.cgi" script if you were using an older version of CGI::Application::Dispatch::PSGI. See the section on "Backwards Compatibility" in that documentation.
  • INTERNALS
    • CGI::Application 4.5 is now required for the newer native PSGI support.
    • Exceptions in CGI::Application::Dispatch::PSGI are now handled with HTTP::Exception. This in turn depends on HTTP::Status, which is currently in a distribution which depends on HTML::Parser, which depends having a C-compiler available. I don't consider this ideal, as I'd like to be able to support the easy installation of a pure-Perl CGI::Application stack. This could possibly be addressed in the future by removing the false dependency on a C-compiler from HTTP::Status, or we could return to use Exception::Class directly for exception handling.
      • The except format of the default thrown exceptions may change in the future.
