  <p>After quite a bit of wait, I'm happy to announce the 2.0 release of Lektor.
Some things that previously were supposed to go into this release were pushed
out a bit more because the wait just was too long and quite a few features
were already in this release.</p>
<p>Here is the changelog of what's in this release:</p>
<ul>
<li>Added <code>_discoverable</code> system field which controls if a page should show
up in <code>children</code>.  The default is that a page is discoverable.  Setting it
to <code>False</code> means in practical terms that someone needs to know the URL as
all collection operations will not return it.</li>
<li>Added <code>for_page</code> function to pagination that returns the pagiantion for a
specific page.</li>
<li>Make pagination next_page and prev_page be None on the edges.</li>
<li>Allow plugins to provide publishers.</li>
<li>Added <code>|markdown</code> filter.</li>
<li>Added French translations.</li>
<li>Unicode filenames as final build artifacts are now explicitly disallowed.</li>
<li>Serve up a 404.html as an error page in the dev server.</li>
<li>Improvements to the path normalization and alt handling.  This should support
URL generation in more complex cases between alts now.</li>
<li>Show a clearer error message when URL generation fails because a source
object is virtual (does not have a path).</li>
<li>Empty text is now still valid markdown.</li>
<li>Lektor clean now loads the plugins as well.</li>
<li>Basic support for type customization.</li>
<li>Fields that are absent in a content file from an alternative are now pulled
from the primary content file.</li>
<li>Development server now resolves index.html for assets as well.</li>
<li>Markdown processing now correctly adjusts links relative to where the
rendered output is rendered.</li>
<li>Added Dutch translations.</li>
<li>Added Record.get_siblings()</li>
<li>Added various utilties: build_url, join_path, parse_path</li>
<li>Added support for virtual paths and made pagination work with it.</li>
<li>Added support for Query.distinct</li>
<li>Add support for pagination url resolving on root URL.</li>
<li>Server information can now also contain extra key/value pairs that
can be used by publishers to affect the processing.</li>
<li>The thumbnails will now always have the correct width and height set
as an attribute.</li>
<li>added datetime type</li>
<li>added support for the process_image utility functions so that plugins
can use it directly.</li>
<li>added support for included_assets and excluded_assets in the project file.</li>
<li>added Spanish translations.</li>
<li>added Japanese translations.</li>
<li>added support for discovering existing alts of sources.</li>
<li>added support for image cropping.</li>
<li>added preliminary support for publishing on windows.</li>
<li>children and attachments can now have a hidden flag configured explicitly.
Attachments will also no longer inherit the hidden flag of the parent
record as that is not a sensible default.</li>
<li>changed internal sqlite consistency mode to improve performance on HDDs.</li>
<li>allow SVG files to be treated as images.  This is something that does not
work in all situations yet (in particular thumbnailing does not actually
do anything for those)</li>
</ul>
<p>As always you can install the release as mentioned in the release notes.
If you had a previous version of Lektor the install process should auto
upgrade.  If you use the OS X desktop build, just drag the new application over
the already existing one.</p>
