Hello list,

I’m proud to announce nanoc 2.0, the second major version of the Ruby  
tool for building static web sites, along with a brand new site for  
nanoc: [http://nanoc.stoneship.org/](http://nanoc.stoneship.org/)!

You can get nanoc 2.0 through RubyGems (but you may have to wait a bit  
before it propagates to all mirrors): “sudo gem install nanoc”

New features include custom layout processors (so you’re not limited  
to the standard ones anymore), custom data sources (so you can let  
nanoc get its data from e.g. a database instead of the filesystem), an  
auto-compiler (so you don’t have to compile the site manually anymore  
every time you make a change), and more.

Regards to Tim P., because I totally stole Webby’s autobuilder idea  
(but nanoc’s autocompiler is much nicer).

This release is compatible with Ruby 1.9, which will probably be  
released in a few hours or so. The BlueCloth filter unfortunately  
doesn’t seem to work under Ruby 1.9.

For more details about nanoc 2.0, do check out the latest blog article  
at [http://nanoc.stoneship.org/blog/](http://nanoc.stoneship.org/blog/).

Merry christmas and a happy new year!

Regards,

Denis D.

Hey Denis, congratulations! nanoc looks cool, I’ve given it a run and  
I think I’ll be using it soon.
