Changes for version 1.3049_01

  • API CHANGES
    • Deprecation of 'logger' (use set). (Alberto Simões)
    • Deprecate 'layout' (use set). (Alberto Simões)
    • Definitely remove plack_middlewares HashRef deprecation. (Alberto Simões & Damien Krotkine)
  • BUG FIXES
    • Unbreaking auto_page somewhat - the catch-all route added will pass unless a suitable view exists. This means that routes like /foo are not obscured, and made up URLs will result in a proper 404, not 500. A little more work required here, though. (David Precious)
    • Anchor regular expression routes. Before regular expressions were matching anywhere in the URL. (Alberto Simões)
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • GH #519: remove redundant lines from CSS (Alberto Simões)
    • When scaffolding an app, show a warning if YAML not installed. Prompted by Issue 496. (David Precious)
    • Hooks! add new positions for hooks, and possibility to create your own hooks inside your application and your plugin. (Franck Cuny)
    • Don't try to read/set session vars with empty/undef keys. It doesn't make sense to do so, and can cause warnings elsewhere. (David Precious)
    • Check HTTP status code/alias passed to status() is valid; previously, and invalid code would result in the response status being unset (David Precious, prompted on IRC by jonas)
    • Lowercase status aliases and swap spaces for underscores before trying to match (David Precious, suggested on IRC by jonas)
    • Added 'behind_proxy' setting, making Dancer honor X_FORWARDED_PROTOCOL and X_FORWARDED_HOST (Alberto Simões, requested by sukria and others)
