|
<p>It's great to see what people have been building with Lektor so far. It also
|
|
shows us what still needs to be built. For a lot of things we improved for
|
|
Lektor 2.0 which is going to release very soon indeed. To give you some ideas
|
|
what's going to change here is a current brief look into the changelog and
|
|
what has been changed so far.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="page-discovery">Page Discovery</h2><p>One of the biggest frustrations users have voiced is the inability to control
|
|
discoverability of pages. In Lektor 1.0 you can only hide pages entirely in
|
|
which case the build process skips over them but there was no way to hide them
|
|
by default from queries. While you could always hide pages by changing the
|
|
query, this did not work for pagination and it also required you to be quite
|
|
careful with the queries you are writing in templates.</p>
|
|
<p>In Lektor 2.0 we introduced the system <code>_discoverable</code> attribute which allows
|
|
you to easily hide pages from any query. Queries can explicitly include
|
|
undiscoverable pages but you do not need to take care of this yourself. This
|
|
makes it possible to automatically hide drafts from blogs for instance. Lektor
|
|
will still build it but without knowing the URL you cannot see it on the
|
|
overview.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="virtual-paths">Virtual Paths</h2><p>The biggest change in Lektor 2.0 is the introduction of virtual paths and
|
|
sources. This is somewhat of an under the hood change but it has big
|
|
implications on what is possible with Lektor plugins. Each page can have
|
|
virtual resources below it that can be provided by plugins. These virtual
|
|
resources are separated from the page through what is called a virtual path
|
|
which is indicated by the at-sign (<code>@</code>). For instance this blog here uses
|
|
a plugin which provides a blog archive available at <code>/blog@blog-archive</code> and
|
|
the year 2015 is available at <code>/blog@blog-archive/2015</code> etc.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="next/previous-page">Next / Previous Page</h2><p>Lektor 2.0 implements sibling support through it's virtual path system which
|
|
allows you to refer to the next or previous record easily. This is for
|
|
instance used by this blog here to link between blog posts.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="improved-alternative-support">Improved Alternative Support</h2><p>Alternatives were heavily improved. Individual fields that are absent in
|
|
content files now fall back to the primary content file. In addition it is
|
|
now possible to ask Lektor about which alternatives exist for a given source
|
|
or in total. This simplifies handling of internationalized pages greatly
|
|
but more work will be done in that field.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="improved-plugin-support">Improved Plugin Support</h2><p>Plugins now have the ability to do a few more things they could not do before:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>custom field types (want to render reStructuredText? You can now build a plugin)</li>
|
|
<li>custom build programs: because of the virtual source and path support you can
|
|
now build custom build programs that build things that do not exist in the
|
|
source tree. For instance you can build feeds, blog archives etc.</li>
