>
> - We've enabled GitHub Discussions (
> https://github.com/PerlDancer/Dancer2/discussions) on a trial basis as a
> means to better provide support and greater interaction with the community
> - Going forward, Dancer2 is (doing a better job of) adhering to the
> Semantic Versioning specification (https://semver.org/), making our
> version numbering easier to understand (and that includes for us, the core
> team!)
> - The Perl Toolchain gang recently announced that going forward, they’ll
> be tracking the Perl of 10 years ago (
> https://rjbs.cloud/blog/2023/05/pts-2023-lyon-amendment-2-5/). We have
> decided to follow suit. That doesn’t mean we will deliberately break
> backwards compatibility; that doesn’t mean Dancer2 won’t run on old Perl
> versions, but if something breaks on a Perl more than 10 years old it does
> mean we (probably) aren’t going to support that. It also means that going
> forward you'll see some newer Perl idioms and keywords in the Dancer2 code,
> especially when it makes code easier to implement and understand.
> - We’ve updated our contribution guidelines (
> https://github.com/PerlDancer/Dancer2/blob/main/Contributing.md),
> providing new contributors with some more helpful guidance, and making our
> expectations for contributions clearer.
> - We’ve hard deprecated a mountain of old code (
> https://github.com/PerlDancer/Dancer2/milestone/27?closed=1). Hopefully
> you weren’t using it. The Core Team made some effort to either submit PRs
> or contact maintainers of plugins that are affected.
>
> For more details, please see the Changes (
> https://github.com/PerlDancer/Dancer2/blob/main/Changes) file.
>
> We've recently partnered with TPRF to make it easier to donate to Dancer2.
> We’ll have more details to offer about this soon, but TL;DR: donating to
> Dancer2 will now be easier to do, and donations will be tax-deductible. The
> Core Team hopes you’ll take advantage of this new arrangement and help fund
> future development of Dancer2 and its ecosystem.
>
> A number of bugs and minor enhancements have been made to our website (
> https://perldancer.org) in preparation for this release. We’ve got some
> additional incremental improvements ahead, but we hope you find this to be
> a nicer resource than it has been previously.
>
> There's a lot of excitement among members of the core team, and Dancer2
> 1.0.0 is just the beginning. We've got some awesome ideas coming to
> fruition in the weeks and months ahead.
>
> How can you help? Use Dancer2! Blog about it, tell your friends,
> especially your non-Perl using friends. Report bugs, send pull requests,
> improve the docs, donate some coffee or pizza or spare change... it all
> helps us to keep delivering.
>
> Thank you for being such an amazing community. You make this worth doing
> for all of us.
>
> Love, hugs, and, of course, the dance of joy (
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_5J1csi1AU)!
