Announcing Dancer2 2.0.0

At long last - Dancer2 2.0.0!

I apologize it took longer than expected - open source doesn't always move as fast as we'd like it to - but there's a lot of great things in this release that make it worth the wait.

Head on over to Perl.com to check out the details. Here's a quick summary of what's new:

  • New documentation, courtesy of a grant from the Perl and Raku Foundation
  • Extendable config system, thanks to Mikko Koivunalho
  • Removed Dancer2::Template::Simple from core Dancer2
  • Retired our fork of Template::Tiny, and integrated our changes into the core distribution (thanks, @ether!)
  • Configurable data/secrets censoring with Data::Censor
  • Logging of hooks as they are executed
  • New hook: on_hook_exception
  • CLI improvements:
    • Changes that allow for scaffolding of other things (plugins, etc.) in future Dancer2 releases
    • Scaffolding of tutorial app

We're really excited for this release, and we hope you are too!

Keep Dancing!
