Hey everyone, We've just released a new Dancer2 version, approximately two weeks after the previous one. This version contains quite a few changes. In statistics: * Github issues resolved: 21 * Bugs resolved: 7 * Enhancements introduced: 12 * Documentation changes: 6 * Total changes introduced: 25 Big ones: * Serializers always serialize, no matter what. This is important! * Static files are finally served before routes and don't create a new route. This is huge! * Catching template rendering errors. Very crucial! * Should fix Windows testing errors. Sorry about that! * Named params can be freely mixed with splat and megasplat. Woohoo! * New testing manual! See: Dancer2::Manual::Testing. * You can disable "Server" tokens header. Finally! Thank you to everyone who worked on this release (in order of appearance): Sawyer X, Russell Jenkins, Steven Humphrey, Theo Van Hoesel, Mickey Nasriachi, Omar M. Othman, Dávid Kovács (DavsX), and Johan Spade.
