Changes

# v2.1.0 - 2023-09-24

This release is entirely contributed by @ZoomRmc – thank you so much for all the tidy ups and valuable additions to HastyScribe!

-   Now multiple input files are handled correctly, including multiple glob patterns.
-   IOError exit code changed to 5.
-   output-file with multiple input files now ignored, preventing repeated overwrites.
-   More events are now logged, including successful conversions and invalid arguments.
-   HastyOptions now uses default fields for initialization.
-   std/critbits are now imported to deduplicate input arguments.
-   TMDMetaData now uses default object fields for initialization and is now an out parameter of markdown.md.
-   Image download warning now outputs one log mark per message.
-   compileDocument refactored to not use accumulation variables.
-   hastyscribe_logo svg and img tag now prepared at compile time.
-   Log level lvNotice now uses a dedicated color
-   Normal log color changed from fgWhite to fgDefault
-   utils.encode_image now uses strutils.multireplace
-   Logic for some replacement operations relies on slightly tuned pegs, mostly to avoid multiple passes of findAll.
-   style_tag is now a template
-   Program now quits with an error if flags are given any value.
-   Writing multiple files to stdout is now logged and delimited with an html-comment denoting the end of each file.
-   Empty --output-file value is now an error.
-   Optimized HastyScribe logo image.
-   Improved logic to generate link styling.
-   Implemented simple CSS minifier to reduce document size.

Some new user-facing options are implemented: - Added option --iso is added to allow printing the date in ISO 8601 format in the html footer. - Added option --no-clobber to prevent overwrites. - Added option --output-dir allowing writing the resulting html files to a user-provided directory. If multiple given paths/globs resolve to files with colliding basenames, files are saved with a path hash suffix to prevent overwrites. This option takes precedence over --output-file.

Changes

# v2.0.0 - 2023-08-31

This a new major release as it includes quite a few high-impact changes that may be considered breaking changes.

Breaking Changes

-   HastyScribe no longer embeds any web font in generated documents. As a result, generated HTML documents are considerably smaller in size.
-   Removed possibility of dumping stylesheets via the --dump option. If you want to reuse HastyScribe styles, see the HastyStyles project.
-   Badge classes must now start with badge-.
-   There is no special badge/class to display the HastyScribe logo.

Removed badges

The following badges have been removed, mainly because they did not need to have a specific colors (and it is therefore possible to use fa- classes directly): - All payment and currency badges - red-circle - yellow-circle - green-circle - green-flag - yellow-flag - red-flag (renamed to flag) - gray-circle - copyright - registered - trademark - wifi - signal - circle - phone - barcode - envelope - fax - print - usb - globe - desktop - laptop - mobile - tablet

New Functionalities

-   Implemented support for footnotes (#77)
-   Implemented support for HTML details and summary elements (#87)
-   Added --noemebed option to prevent embedding of resources (but still generate a document, unlike with the --fragment option.
-   Upgraded to Discount v2.2.7d.
-   Upgraded to use FontAwesome v6.4.2 SVG icons
-   Specific rules to display icons are automatically added to the document based on usage for:
    -   badges
    -   icons
    -   notes
    -   links

New link icons

The following link icons have been added: - slack - discord - codepen - etsy - stack-exchange - mastodon - file-zipper - file-pdf

New badges

The following new badges have been added: - flag - address - toxic - download - upload - network - org - code - react - angular - vuejs - ubuntu - suse - rust - redhat - rpi - markdown - go - fedora - debian - centos
