Version 2.0.0

This release adds support for L10N/I18N/M17N, adds new  
configuration parameters, fixes some bugs, and improves the  
documentation.

Notice

• Generated file names no longer have spaces in them.

• Blog entry file names are now required to end with  
.yaml

• Variables available in ERB templates have been renamed.

• The publish task, which uploads your blog to your  
website, has been renamed to upload for clarity.

• The index parameter has been renamed to recent\_entries  
in the primary blog configuration file.

Details

• New configuration parameters have been added to the  
blog configuration file:  
â–¡ The front\_page parameter defines the name of a file  
in the output/ directory that should be the front  
page of your blog. This allows you to display an  
entry as your front page.  
â–¡ The summarize\_entries parameter specifies whether  
entries are summarized in tag and archive pages.  
â–¡ The uploader parameter defines the command that  
uploads your blog to your website.

• English text used in core of Rassmalog can now be  
easily translated for L10N/I18N/M17N without having to  
edit the source code.

• A list of recent entries is now generated before the  
archives in the navigation menu.

• Blog entry names and tags can now contain question  
marks and other characters in URL syntax.

• Output is now correctly generated whenever the  
associated source file (configuration, blog entriess)  
changes.

• Descriptions of parameters in examples and templates  
have been improved.

• Incorrect detection of absolute URLs in RSS feed  
template has been fixed.

• Incorrect parsing of an anchor for the table of contents  
has been fixed.

• The content of ` and elements is now
preserved verbatim by the String#to_html method.`

`
• Text that is indented in Textile (which is supposed to
be pre-formatted verbatim text) is no longer processed
as source code.
• The README and HISTORY documentation files have been
converted into blog entries. You’re reading one of them
now!
