serum v1.3.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-11-28 // over 4 years ago

  • 🛠 Fixed

    • 🛠 Fixes an issue which ignored custom template settings for blog posts.

    👌 Improved

    • Serum now displays relative paths from the current working directory, instead of absolute paths, whenever possible.

    • 👌 Support for nested includes has been added. Now users can use the include/1 macro inside their includes. Self-including or circular includes are intentionally not supported and these will result in errors.

    • Serum provides more options for the length of preview text for each blog post.

      • preview_length: {:chars, 200} tells Serum to take the first 200 characters from a blog post to generate a preview text. The next two options should be self-explanatory now.
      • preview_length: {:words, 20}
      • preview_length: {:paragraphs, 1} (Serches for <p> tags.)
      • Of course, you can still use the old value: preview_length: 200.

    • 0️⃣ Serum no longer emits ANSI escape sequences by default when the output is not a terminal. (i.e. when the output is written to a file, or when the output is piped to another program.)

    Run any Serum Mix tasks with --color or --no-color option to override this behavior.

    ➕ Added

    • 🔌 Users can now pass an arbitrary argument to a Serum plugin.

    The accepted value of plugin argument is defined by the plugin author, and this can be used to configure how the plugin should work.

    • ⚡️ This update introduces a new render/2 template helper.

    The render/2 helper works like the existing include/1 helper. However, unlike include/1, this helper dynamically renders the given include when the calling template/include is being rendered.
