serum v1.2.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2019-08-04 // over 4 years ago-
๐ Fixed
๐ Fixed an issue where the Serum development server crashes if the file system watcher backend is not available on the user's system. The server will work now, but features related to automatic reloading will be disabled.
Now the prompt text (
8080>
) in the Serum development server CLI will catch up the console output, instead of lagging behind.โก๏ธ Updated one of Serum's dependencies. Users will no longer see strange errors from "Tzdata" once a day.
๐ Improved
Serum.File.read/1
now checks if the value ofsrc
key in the input struct is nil. An error will be returned if so. Likewise,Serum.File.write/1
checks the value ofdest
key.๐ Now you can add any user-defined metadata to your pages and posts. Just put some lines like
key: value
in the header, and these metadata will be available at@page.extras
(or@post.extras
) in your templates.
โ Added
If you put any extra files and directories in
files/
directory, they will be copied to the root of your website.files/
directory is a good place for your favicons,robots.txt
, and so on.โ Added support for custom templates. Pages and blog posts now recognize the
template
key in their headers.
๐ Changed
๐ Docs: Marked some docs for internal modules as hidden, and organized moduledocs by categories. Hidden docs are still accessible via source codes.
Overhauled codes which start and stop the Serum development server. The temporary output directory created by the server will now be cleaned up in most exit situations. Additionally, users will be able to see less horrifying error output when the server failed to start.
For developers: The Serum development server and its command line interface have been decoupled. Starting the server with
Serum.DevServer.run/2
does not take you to the command line interface. Instead, you can callSerum.DevServer.Prompt.start/1
to enter the server CLI.There are now two ways to get out of the CLI: The
quit
command stops the development server and returns. If you want to keep the server running, use thedetach
command. You can later enter the CLI again using the sameSerum.DevServer.Prompt.start/1
function.๐ Changed format of the message output, with a new internal module which controls the console output.
- TODO: Disable emitting ANSI escape sequences when the output device is not a terminal.
If there are more than one identical errors, only one of them will be displayed. Usually these errors are from one source and they will be gone all together if one error in the project source gets fixed.
