Changes for version 5.00 - 2021-09-12

  • Merge spin and spin-rss into this package, making it a full, if highly idiosyncratic, static site generator built around a macro language called thread. This adds new commands docknot spin, docknot spin-rss, and docknot spin-thread, as well as modules App::DocKnot::Spin and several submodules. docknot spin should be equivalent to the old spin command except that \id support has been dropped. DocKnot now depends on Date::Parse (from TimeDate), Git::Repository, Image::Size, and Pod::Thread 3.00 or later.
  • Support setting distribution.packaging.debian.package along with distribution.packaging.debian.personal to specify the package name. Do not generate links to Debian in that case.
  • Ignore configure~ when checking distribution tarballs.
  • Stop generating a developer link to a to-do list by default in thread output. Not all of my packages use a TODO file, so the ones that do should explicitly add this to the developer docs list.
