Hey everyone!

A new version of Dancer2 has been shipped yesterday and is already waiting
for you at a mirror nearby!

Having a weekly release (which is a new habit we're trying to maintain)
means we will usually not have big changes to report. We're happy about
that. We get to spend time working on iterative improvements that
eventually end up as bigger changes.

This release carries the following interesting changes:
* Fixes for installing on Windows.
* Better skeleton on scaffolding.
* No server tokens in scaffolded production environment config file.
* LWP::UserAgent no longer required (not even for testing), same with
Test::TCP.
* Lots of improvement for migration document.

I'd like to thank all those involved in this release (by order of
appearance in the Changes log): Dávid Kovács, Chi Trinh, Christian Walde,
and Gabor Szabo.

    * GH #799: Set current request earlier so log formats using requests
