Changes for version 0.23 - 2026-08-20

  • ADDS: Punk::Plugin::Sitemap sitemap.xml/robots.txt
  • ADDS: static mounts can say how fresh a file is. `max_age` and `cache_control` set Cache-Control on a plain URL, and $c->send_file takes cache_control too.
  • ADDS: content-addressed asset URLs. $c->asset('/static/app.css') returns /static/app.9f3a1c2b0d4e5f60.css. The digest - the first 8 bytes of SHA-256 over the contents.
  • ADDS: Punk::Plugin::RequestId per request identifier
