The credit where it's due release

• Extended JSON-LD structured data to include an image fallback. If a post or page does not have a cover image, it now falls back to using the platform icons or the site logo, consistent with Open Graph and Twitter Card behaviour. (#523)
• Added default_author_url configuration option and --default-author-url CLI argument to set a site-wide default URL for the author. (#524)
• Added support for author_url in post and page frontmatter, which takes precedence over the site-wide default_author_url configuration setting. (#524)
• Updated JSON-LD structured data to include the author's URL property when available. (#524)
• Added show_author configuration option and frontmatter property to optionally display the author's name on posts. When enabled, the author's name appears below the date, linking to their URL (if provided). (#525)

• Added a Sitelinks Searchbox action to the homepage's JSON-LD when search is enabled. (#517)
• Added Microformats2 semantic markup (h-entry, h-card, etc.) to all templates to improve machine-readability and IndieWeb compatibility. (#518)

The even more validating release

• Changed the comment invitation box from a section to a div. (#505)
• Cleaned up a HTML validation error in the graph page. (#508)
• Cleaned up a HTML validation error in the stats page. (#509)
• Changed the links and socials headings in the sidebar to divs from h2s, leaving headings only used in the main page or article. (#512)
• Changed the heading level of post content in list views (index, archives, tags, categories) to be relative to the post title. For example, if a post uses h2 headings, they will be rendered as h3 in list views where the post title itself is an h2, maintaining a correct heading hierarchy. (#513)

The chasing validation release

• Fixed HTML entities being incorrectly included in their escaped form (like " and >) in the search index snippets. (#497)
• Added support for optionally bundling the main CSS files into a single file, to help speed up the first load from a site (controlled by bundle_css and off by default). (#499)
• Added support for optionally inlining the main theming JavaScript code into every generated page, giving the option to reduce the number of JavaScript files that need to be downloaded on the first load of a site (controlled by inline_theme_js and off by default). (#499)
• Changed the site title in the sidebar from an <h1> tag to a <div class="site-title"> to ensure each page has only one primary heading. (#501)
• Added support for responsive sidebar logo image optimisation. When optimise_images is enabled, the sidebar site logo is automatically optimised and rendered as a responsive HTML <picture> element. (#502)

The go bigger to go smaller release

• Fixed the lint command double-reporting errors in the 404 page. (#489)
• Added optional automatic image optimisation (optimise_images: true). When enabled, local images in Markdown posts are automatically resized into a multi-size "ladder", converted to WebP, and rendered using responsive <picture> elements with srcset and aspect-ratio stability attributes. (#492)

The Automatic for the Browser release

• Added a cache command to the CLI to show the cache location and clear the cache directory. (#482)
• The generated favicons and platform icons are now cached per-blog, saving the need to recreate them on every build unless the source image changes. (#483)
• Added browser auto-reload to serve mode. Connected browsers now automatically reload whenever the site is regenerated following a change to content or configuration. (#487)
