Hi, I'm glad to announce the release of Dancer 1.18 on CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/~sukria/Dancer-1.1800/ This new stable release is a major upgrade since the last one (1.176) as it's a full merge of the "devel" branch into the "master" one. You'll find lots of new features and bug fixes, as mentioned in the CHANGES file: Dancer 1.18 * Errors are caught in before filters * halt can be given a Dancer::Response object rahter than plain text content * New logger for sending log message to STDERR: Dancer::Logger::Console Thanks to Gabor Szabo for the idea. * Logger engines don't have anymore to implement _format(), they can use $self->format_message instead. * New log level: "core" for letting Dancer's core express itself on crucial events. That way, when the app config sets log to "core", any core messages is sent to the logger, and the end-user can see which route is chosen for each request received. Thanks to Gabor Szabo for the idea. * New class Dancer::Timer added so any logger engine can now show a timer string. * Scaffolded applications are now built like a CPAN distribution, with a Makefile.PL and test scripts (thanks to Gabor Szabo for the idea). * Added Dancer::Test to provide helpers for writing test script for Dancer applications * FIX bug when returning a void context after redirecting a route. Thanks to Juan J. MartÃnez for the report. * Add support for request headers in Dancer::Request * Add support for halt() in Dancer's syntax. * Support for on-the-fly charset encoding when the setting is set and a content is sent by Dancer and needs to be encoded. The response Content-Type is updated accordingly as well. * Adding "import_warnings" settings. On by default, but allows to disable auto-import of "warnings" pragma. Reported by Adam Kennedy. Enjoy your dances ;) -- Alexis, for the development team
