Recovering from PyCon Canada 2019, and the holidays took longer than I expected. However I am pleased to announce the release of version 0.17.0 of Rookeries to start off this new year!
Version 0.17.0 includes a number of improvements to the serve command:
- Auto-building of the site when a file in a project changes.
- Opening of the resulting build site in a browser using the
--openflag. - Auto-refreshing of the opened site when in development mode.
In addition, I added:
- Multi-template support which will allow for building out complex templates in the future.
- Improvements to the UX experience.
If you are running version 0.16.0, you can run a re-install using the rookeries-online-installer.sh to update to the latest version. Otherwise you can install v0.17.0 by following the instruction on the Download page.
Next Steps
As for what I plan to work on next, I want to improve the infrastructure around downloading, installing and working with both plugins and templates. I will be using my new site for my Juggling JSON with jq Cookbook ebook as a test bed for improving working with Rookeries. That way I have some real use cases outside of Rookeries’ project page. I am looking forward to working on both projects and see how they both develop in parallel.
