Changelog

All notable changes to the "Dev Feed Curator" extension will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

[3.11.0] - 2026-06-08

Fixed

  • Replaced the removed Azure Functions v1/posts API (https://alvinashcraft.com/v1/posts?limit=20) with the new static Blazor Static Web App feed endpoint (https://alvinashcraft.com/feeds/index-recent.json) in both the latest Dew Drop date fallback (rssProvider.ts) and the latest Dew Drop number fallback (exportManager.ts). Updated response parsing from data.items[] to data.posts[] to match the new JSON shape

[3.10.5] - 2026-06-03

Fixed

  • publishToMorningDewNextGen no longer relies on vscode.tasks / ShellExecution, which failed to launch in an empty workspace with the error: The terminal process failed to launch: Cannot launch a terminal process in an empty workspace with cwd <repoPath> different from userHome <home>. The command now spawns pwsh directly via child_process.spawn and streams stdout/stderr to a dedicated "Morning Dew NextGen Import" output channel, so it works whether or not a workspace is open

[3.10.4] - 2026-06-02

Fixed

  • Replaced substring host check (includes('alvinashcraft.com')) with an exact-hostname comparison in both RSSBlogProvider.isAlvinAshcraftBlogConfigured and ExportManager.tryGetLatestDewDropNumberFromApi, so the Morning Dew v1 API fallback no longer triggers for look-alike domains like notalvinashcraft.com or alvinashcraft.com.evil.com (PR #56 review)
  • publishToMorningDewNextGen now wraps vscode.tasks.executeTask in try/catch so the onDidEndTaskProcess listener is disposed (and the completion promise no longer hangs) when task execution rejects before the process can start (PR #56 review)

Changed

  • Extracted the duplicated fetchJson helpers from rssProvider.ts and exportManager.ts into a shared src/utils/http.ts module, alongside the new isAlvinAshcraftHost validator (PR #56 review)

Added

  • Unit tests for isAlvinAshcraftHost covering exact match, subdomain match, look-alike rejection, bare hostnames, and unparseable input

[3.10.3] - 2026-06-01

Added

  • Fallback to the read-only Morning Dew v1 API (https://alvinashcraft.com/v1/posts) for resolving the latest Dew Drop date and post number when the configured WordPress Blog URL points at alvinashcraft.com and the RSS feed does not surface a Dew Drop post
  • New command Dev Feed Curator: Publish to Morning Dew NextGen that runs the infra/scripts/import-html-post.ps1 script in the configured dew-nextgen repository against the currently open Dew Drop HTML file (active editor or WYSIWYG panel)
  • New setting rssBlogCategorizer.dewNextGenRepoPath to specify the absolute path to the local dew-nextgen repository clone (required to enable the Morning Dew NextGen publish command)
  • On successful Morning Dew NextGen import: pending approved submissions are marked as processed (same behavior as the WordPress publish flow), the WYSIWYG editor panel is closed if it is open, and the configured wordpressBlogUrl is opened in the default browser when openBlogAfterPublish is enabled

[3.10.1] - 2026-03-25

Fixed

  • Fixed approved submissions not appearing after feed refresh due to API response field-casing mismatch

Changed

  • Approved submissions are now marked as processed only after a successful WordPress publish, not during feed refresh — abandoned drafts no longer consume submissions
