The first alpha tag of the next major release of stakx with a rebuilt core, Scss support, and Twig improvements.

Deprecations

• The --no-conf flag has been removed; all sites now need a configuration file

New

• FrontMatter now has "complex variables," meaning you can inject variables from your site's configuration file into any FM block
• The select, order, where, and group Twig filters have support for dot notation to access nested data in arrays
• Make use Symfony's Event Dispatcher throughout our core to dispatch events for core and possibly third-party plugins
• Add Scss and source map support in a _sass folder

Change

• The "working directory" of websites is now relative to the given configuration file
• Dynamic PageViews are no longer accessible through Twig

Fixes

• The basename and filename variables are available in FrontMatter

Development

• All references to files are now handled by a dedicated File object

• Use the official highlight.php library again, which is now maintained again
• Templating has been abstracted out into interfaces; a new Twig to stakx bridge has been created
• Updated to Symfony 3.4.x components
• Abstracted out data transformers into separate classes with an interface for DataItems
• Twig filters and functions are now handled through the container
• Improved cross-platform support for file paths used internally
• Markup engines have been abstracted out into interfaces and separate classes
• Standardized filesystem reads and writes throughout core
• The internal Service singleton uses bitwise flags instead of an array of arbitrary keys
