CHANGES

Dancer 1.1901 (1.2RC1)

    [ Franck Cuny ]
    * implemented GH#120:
      - methods {to,from}_{xml,json,yaml} accept more than one arguments. The
        first argument is the data to transform. All the remainings arguments
        are parameters to alter the behavior of the serializers. Refer to the
        documentation for more informations.
    * more tests added

    [ Alexis Sukrieh ]
    * load_plugin is DEPRECATED; 'use' should be used instead to load a plugin.
      This is fixes the major issue with plugins about symbol exports that
      didn't work well (issue #101).
    * All paths built in a scaffolded application are dynamic, it's now
      possible to move a scaffolded application after it's been generated.
      (fixes issues #88, 
    * The auto_reload feature is now disabled by default due to too many
      unsolved issues (it works most of the time, but some race conditions are
      still present) This feature is still being working on, but it's now
      flagged "experimental").  
    * Default log level in development environment is now 'core' in order to
      provide more information.
    * New scaffolded application design. More neutral and with lots of
      information for a beginner, and links to useful material.
      Based on the Ruby on Rails start page (kudos to the Rails team,
      http://www.rubyonrails.org).

      $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.
