| Catalyst 5.71 is nigh |

We're approaching the two-year anniversary of the [0]first release in the
5.7x series of the Catalyst framework. I'm really proud of how 5.7x has
gone -- it has given the project some much needed stability that was
missing in the early goings. It still amuses me to look back at the
changelog to watch it go from version 3.X (which is basically "Catalyst
1.0") to 5.X in the span of about two and a half months.
Although development was obviously very fast-paced then, with 14 releases
since 5.7000 I wouldn't say we've stalled. Naturally, the bulk of the
changes since then have been bug fixes. We've also increased the test
suite from 1416 tests to 1805 (the old test suite actually ran most tests
twice by default, but, by setting CAT_BENCH_ITERS=1, you will see the
"1416" result).
A 5.71 dev release ([1]5.7099_01) was recently shipped which includes a
new method: go(). As marcus describes it, it "works like an internal
redispatch to another action, while retaining the stash intact." I
believe one more dev release will happen as I've recently checked in the
long lost [2]PathPrefix attribute.
5.71xx will be more of a short-lived series of releases to act as a
buffer between 5.70XX and 5.8000. 5.8000 being the [3]Moose conversion
(see [4]this interview for more information).

This is the final for the Call for Venue for YAPC::Europe 2009. There are
still three days left to send in your proposal!
[0]Call for Venue
While we are all looking forward to [1]YAPC::Europe 2008 in Copenhagen,
it's time for the YAPC::Europe Venue Committee to consider suitable hosts
for the 2009 conference. Any dedicated group interested in hosting
YAPC::Europe::2009 should send a brief statement of intent to
[email protected] as soon as possible. For this first statement of
intent a few lines like "City.pm is interested in hosting YAPC::Europe
2009" will be enough.

This Week on perl5-porters - 14-20 June 2008
============================================
David Nicol: Does pushing all exceptions to @@ whenever $@ gets assigned
to break anything?
Abigail: In theory, it could, as @@ is a "normal" array that can be used
as such. But I doubt anything serious will break. I'd say anyone that
uses a punctuation variable that currently has no special meaning does so
at his/her own risk, and doesn't have the right to complain if it does
get special meaning.
-- Abigail, suggesting that a little backwards compatibility breakage
from time to time can be good for the soul.

[Rakudo spec regression status: 75 files, 1080 passing tests]
Rakudo Perl is now passing over 1000 tests in the official test suite!

Thanks to Jonathan, Moritz, Auzon, bacek, particle, Coke, chromatic, and
everyone else who is helping to make this happen!
