v1.0.0 Beta 10

[paulrobertlloyd]

Warning

This release introduced a module resolution error that prevents the application from starting. This has been fixed in v1.0.0-beta.11

Another packed release, this time focused on improving the editing experience and uploading media files. These changes alone now make Indiekit a really compelling content management system, I think.

There was also a fairly messy diversion trying to fix and/or improve slug generation (follow the fun in #719 and #726). Doubt this’ll be the last of figuring out the best way to generate post slugs.

🚨 BREAKING CHANGES

• {uuid} path tokens are no longer supported
• {random} media path token is no longer supported
• {originalfile} media path token is now called {filename}

✨ New features

• The file upload component now allows images to be uploaded I’m the background, returning the path of the uploaded file. This allows images to be added to posts from within the editor (Media file upload component #721)
• Rich Markdown editor now used for content and summary fields (Markdown editor #728)
• Configure a separate content store for media files (Allow publications to specify a separate store for media content #730)
• Option in Micropub media endpoint to transform files prior to uploading (only supports resizing, for now) (Image transformations #700)
• S3-compatible content store plug-in (S3-compatible content store #725)
• Menu shortcuts to create a new post or upload a file when installed as a web app (Web app manifest shortcuts #714)

💅 Improvements

• The Eleventy publication preset is now an option when creating a new configuration file.
• Requests are now compressed with assets now minified and cached.
• The authentication screen now displays all requested permissions (and indicates which, if any, Indiekit doesn’t yet support).
• Logged in session cookie will now expire after 7 days.
• Errors with mis-configured syndication targets are now shown in the application interface.
• Sticky navigation header (currently broken in dark mode, will be fixed in v1.0.0-beta.12).

This image of the Markdown editor in full screen mode with Indiekit installed as a web app makes me very happy:
