2024-06-09: Version 2.00
[New Features]
- Added a return value to 'add' method from Kelp::Routes,
* it can be used to call add again, adding a child and making the parent a bridge
- Added before_dispatch hook in Kelp
- Added Kelp::Util, which contains some general utilities (previously as private code in Kelp::Routes)
- Added has_name and dest methods to Kelp::Routes::Pattern
- Kelp::Generator has a new filename shortcut: DOT (dotfiles support)
[Changes]
- Kelp::Routes module overhaul
* Handles reblessing the app into a controller class by itself, with rebless => 1
* Kelp::Routes::Controller is no longer required, but will be kept for backward compatibility
* Resolves all of its checks at application build time (not during the request dispatching)
* Does stricter validation of routing configuration
* Route building errors can now be turned into exceptions (rather than just being skipped), with fatal => 1
* Easier to subclass due to new overridable methods: format_to and load_destination
* More performant at runtime, especially for deeply nested trees with many bridges
- Removed safe_param configuration field, since param method is now safe by default
- Improved the quality of configuration generated by the 'kelp' template
[Backward-Incompatible Changes]
- Disable unsafe param calls (cgi_param may be used instead if necessary)
- Routes with invalid destinations will no longer be added and yield HTTP status 404 instead of 500
- Some specific extensions of Kelp::Routes may no longer work correctly due to stricter build-time route checks
[Bug fixes]
- Instances created with new_anon now have correct default 'base' for routes
- Fixed bridge behavior in some cases by removing duplicated slashes from non-regex pattern
- Fixed unnamed wildcard being honored in non-regex patterns as documented

[Examples]
- Added an example script for benchmarking router matching and dispatching speeds in ex/router_bench.pl

2014-12-14: Version 0.9021
[Bug Fixes]
- POD fixes
[New features]
- Session now accepts hashref, which also allows for the destruction
of the enitire session.
- Add "include" function to config files, making it possible to include
other file into the configuration.
2014-08-08: Version 0.9015
[Bug Fixes]
- Fix a typo causing a fatal error in Routes::Controller
- Fix debug and error keywords in Kelp::Less
- Remove an explicit return undef, per Perl::Critic
[New Features and Improvements]
- Allow for route methods outside of base class
It is now possible to add a route that lives outside of the base class
by prefixing it with '+'. This works for both Perl and camelized
strings.
- Add config keyword to Kelp::Less
- Virtualize the logger instantiation
Add a _logger function in Module::Logger, which creates the logger
instance, making it easier to subclass the Logger module.
Add a Logger::Simple module, which dumps everything to STDERR
This module is convenient to use during development with Kelp::Less.
- Update bin/Kelp
* bin/Kelp --less <name> will now create a psgi file with the specified name
(previously it would always create app.psgi).
* Existing files will not be overwritten, unless --force specified.
- Simplify Less application boilerplate
Add a Config subclass with simplified configuration that will be used by
default by any Kelp::Less application. This configuration will not load
any modules or middleware, leaving it up to the user to manually load
any modules needed.
Additionally, bin/Kelp --less <name> will now only generate the psgi
application, and not any other folders, views, templates etc.
- Downgrade confess to croak and croak to die
Kelp::Response used confess and croak excessively. Both changed to die,
so that the user can control how much stack trace they want via the
'long_error' attribute or the KELP_LONG_ERROR env variable.
2014-07-12: Version 0.9012
[New features]
- Add access to the application instance from the config files
- Kelp.pm methods 'requiest' and 'response' renamed to 'build_request' and 'build_response', in order
to minimize cofusion. NOTE: If your application is overriding any of those, make sure to rename them too.
- Replace explicit UTF-8 encoding with $app->charset
- Rename pattern attribute 'via' to 'method'. 'via' will still work as a shortcut to 'method', so
this will not break backwards compatibility.

- POD fixes
