4.10 Tue Jun 17, 2008

    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) 

4.07_03 Mon Jun 16, 2008

   [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. 


4.07_02 Weds Oct 31, 2007

    [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)

4.07_01 Sun Jul 2, 2006

    [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)
