I'm not sure; a lot of existing plugins use dancer_version, and it's meaning is fairly clear.
I think the pragmatic approach is to let them continue to do so, with a couple of tweaks:
- dancer_version can strip /_\d+$/ so that dev releases don't cause issues - a special-case for D2 - e.g. return 2 if ($version >= 1.9) - if the code is calling dancer_version, it most likely wants to know the difference between D1 and D2, I can't see that it's likely to be used in many other ways, you'd tend to use $Dancer::VERSION for that.
Good point, I like that approach. Then we should remove api_version. I don't even know why it was introduced to be frank :)
