    [ Sawyer X ]
    * Fix for RT #60403: removing Test::Exception requirement

    [ Alexis Sukrieh ]
    * Global rewrite of Dancer's core to allow support for
      sub-application, better route resolution and a better design.

      can be mounted under a given prefix.
    
    [ Franck Cuny ]

      - after: to allow response post-processing
      - before_template: to allow defaut tokens to be given at anytime
        to the template function.
    * Fix and test for bug  RT#57829 
      (Custom response headers lost when using JSON serializer)

      instead of request->path)
    * FIX for GH#100
      When loading a module, it's possible to require a minimal
      version.
    * New option "ajax" for route handlers.
    * Fix a bug in ajax route when processing the route resolution
      (when a route is defined with options, it's pushed in the
      beggining of the route handler tree).

    [ jamhed ]
    * Support for new setting "session_expire" in order to allow
      session cookies to expire before the browser is closed.

      Dancer::Handler::PSGI and friends.
    * Applied LoonyPandora's patch for checking Dancer's VERSION when running
      script/dancer. Changed it a bit so it can check against CPAN rather than
      GitHub.

      when called and will be removed in the next stable release (1.2).
    * Transparent wrapping of Plack middlewares in Dancer's configuration.

      $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.
