Changelog

All notable changes to Blogin are documented here.

0.9.1 - 2026-08-02

Added

• Live reload over a WebSocket. Each rebuild pushes the output paths it rewrote, so a page reloads only when its own file or a script it loads changed. A changed stylesheet or image is swapped in place without a reload, and the page reconnects on its own when the server restarts.

• .keep files are left alone by blogin clean and by the prune step of a build, so a directory the site owner tracks survives a rebuild.

Changed

• blogin serve builds with minification and fingerprinting off, and says so when the config enables them. blogin build still applies both.

• Directories created after the server starts are watched without a restart, and the filesystem events from one save are coalesced into a single rebuild.

• Preview responses are sent with Cache-Control: no-store.

Fixed

• Markdown link text containing square brackets is parsed as a link.

• Responsive image variants, minified files, and fingerprinted renames are recorded in the build's write log.

• The console no longer shows the socket notices a browser leaves when it closes a reload connection.

0.9.0 - 2026-07-24

Added

• Markdown rendered by a Raku grammar: tables, task lists, footnotes, reference links, attribute lists on links, and inline and display math.

• Fenced code blocks highlighted server-side during the build, plus mermaid and math fences.

• Content sections derived from the content/ tree, with per-post slugs, drafts, future-dated posts, and alias redirects.

• HAML layouts base, show, index, home, tag, tags, and 404, with chrome partials and per-section layout overrides.

• A documented template context split into a post context, a listing context, and a shared site context, exposing heading, posts, per-post tags, related, the table of contents, reading time, and word count.

• Named taxonomies, each with a page per term and an index. Tags are the default, and a term page prefers a singular layout so the index can differ from it.

• Atom, RSS, and JSON feeds, site-wide and per section, plus a sitemap and robots.txt.

• Browser search over a prebuilt index.

• Open Graph, Twitter, and canonical metadata.

• CSS-framework profiles for Bootstrap 5, Pico, and Bulma, or none.

• A light and dark color theme with a navbar toggle, applied before paint and remembered per visitor.

• Data files in JSON and YAML, merged site-wide and per directory.

• Built-in and user-defined shortcodes.

• Multi-language builds with a per-language URL prefix and a page switcher.

• An asset pipeline under public/assets/{css,js,img}, with optional minification, content-hash fingerprinting, and responsive image variants, alongside a static/ tree copied to the output verbatim.

• A preview server that rebuilds on change and live-reloads the open page, and incremental builds that rewrite only the files that changed.

• A blogin CLI with init, new, build, serve, and clean.

• Theme layout sets and a build-hook plugin interface.
