CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

0.14.1 (2021-08-24)

• HTML minification now respects HTML spec (it still worked before because browsers can handle invalid HTML well and minifiers take advantage of it)

0.14.0 (2021-07-19)

Breaking

• Newlines are now required after the closing +++ of front-matter
• resize_image now returns an object: {url, static_path} instead of just the URL so you can follow up with other functions on the new file if needed
• get_file_hash now has the base64 option set to true by default (from false) since it's mainly used for integrity hashes which are base64
• i18n rework: languages now have their sections in config.toml to set up all their options
  1. taxonomies don't have a lang anymore in the config, you need to declare them in their respective language section
  2. the config variable in templates has been changed and is now a stripped down language aware version of the previous config object
  3. Search settings are now language specific
  4. Translations are now nested in the languages table
• Paths unification:
  1. get_url does not load automatically from the static folder anymore
  2. New path resolving logic for all on-disk files: replace @/ by content/, trim leading / and search in $BASE_DIR + $path, $BASE_DIR + static + $path and $BASE_DIR + content + $path
  3. get_file_hash now returns base64 encoded hash by default
  4. all functions working on files can now only load files in the Zola directory
  5. resize_image return value has changed
  6. page.assets now start with a / to match section.assets and other paths
