<p>
The PerlDancer Advent Calendar is a community-driven project that aims 
to showcase the Dancer Perl web framework.
</p>

<p>
Each day of December until Christmas, one article about Dancer. Stay tuned for new moves!

<p>It's been a busy year, and we got a lot to be happy about. But there is always more work to
be done, and always more improvements to be made.</p>
<p>This list is by no means exhaustive, but it should give you a little glimpse for some of the 
things we have in store for 2019:</p>
<ul>
<li><a name="item_New_Documentation"></a><b>New Documentation</b>
<p>You asked for it, and I made reference to it on day 1, all new documentation is coming in
2019. While many of you love the docs, a lot of you don't, and thanks to your comments in last
year's survey, we think we have a good understanding of why.</p>
<p>The new documentation branch is well underway, and addresses the shortcomings of the existing 
documentation by explaining important concepts in a clear and simple way. You'll have a better
understanding of how and why Dancer2 does the things it does.</p>
<p>New users will get some grounding in web development techniques, too. There's a lot of great
changes for everyone!</p>
</li>
<li><a name="item_New_Website"></a><b>New Website</b>
<p>There's a lot of great information on the Dancer website, but it's looking tired. There's a 
lot of new information to be added, and with a fresh coat of paint, Dancer's website will be as
great as the software powering it.</p>
</li>
<li><a name="item_More_configuration_options"></a><b>More configuration options</b>
<p>Configuration in Dancer2 leaves a lot to be desired (and I'll admit that I am a big part of 
the reason for why that is). Look for an overhaul of the configuration system in 2019, which
starts with a barebones configuration system and allows for pluggable configuration engines
(much like loggers and sessions in Dancer2). Since we are dedicated to not breaking working 
code, all of the existing configuration logic would be packaged as a plugin and enabled
out of the box.</p>
</li>
<li><a name="item_Inline_parameter_type_checking"></a><b>Inline parameter type checking</b>
<p>Very similar in many ways to Sawyer's <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Dancer2::Plugin::ParamTypes">Dancer2::Plugin::ParamTypes</a>
plugin, but provided as core functionality. SysPete is actively developing a way to provide
(optional) type checking of parameters within the core of Dancer2.</p>
