Release v0.041

Tags:

A slight breaking change in this release: The "last modified" date is no longer being used in the blog. Instead, the date shown is only the slug date, which makes the date more accurate when pre-dating posts.

The last_modified attribute is now simply called date, which makes it a bit more general-purpose. This means that you'll need to re-bundle your templates.

A change to Beam::Wire means a change to Statocles config files: $method in the event handlers is now $sub, so if you have configured the LinkCheck plugin, you'll get a deprecation warning from Beam::Wire.

The site creator now allows you to set the base_url, since that's required for Statocles to work properly. It also, if given a site as an argument, creates the site's directory.

Release v0.040

Tags:

The biggest new thing in this release is the new LinkCheck plugin that checks all the pages for broken links and images. This introduces a new event-handling API into Statocles, which will be called Plugins. See the developer docs for more information on plugins.

A bunch of bug fixes for the create command. It now actually works, instead of creating an unusable site.yml file.

The default build directory is now .statocles/build instead of .statocles-build. It is anticipated we might use the .statocles directory for some additional site metadata.

With Mojolicious 6.0 release, there were a few breaking changes that we needed to fix in Statocles. We now require 6.0.

Statocles Beta (Release v0.039)

Tags:

This is it! The beta milestone is complete!

This release adds the "create" command to easily create new Statocles sites.

Blog posts are now directories, which will allow us (in the future) to have images and other documents inside. The breaking part of this change was made now, and future additions will be made as beta progresses.

There were a couple reorganizations of the documentation and tests to make them easier to understand.

Release v0.038

Tags:

With a new way to quickly build old git versions, this release fixes compatibility with Git 1.7.

Unfortunately, we had to increase our minimum supported version of Git to 1.7.2, in order to get git status --porcelain and orphan branches. Neither of these are that big of a deal-breaker, so in theory we could support some slightly older versions of git.
