Popular v0.7.0

Changed

• The footer shows the theme version (e.g. v0.7.0) next to the Popular
  credit, on the demos and the docs site.

Fixed

• The "no upcoming events" empty state no longer renders on event-less sites
  such as the docs site; it appears only on a community that has an events
  section but nothing upcoming.

Added

• Recaps toolkit: gallery + photo and pullquote shortcodes (Hugo) /
  Gallery + Photo and Pullquote components (Astro). The gallery is a
  CSS-grid figure list with no JavaScript and no lightbox (each photo links to
  its full-size image); alt is required and a missing one fails the build.
  A recap is a blog post tagged recap that uses both, with a worked example
  in the KDrama demo.
• llms.txt: a build-time plain-text summary for AI agents at /llms.txt,
  naming the next upcoming event, how to join, and links to the key pages and
  the calendar feed. Always generated on Astro; on Hugo the site adds LLMS
  to its home outputs (the demos, exampleSite, and docs site do).
• Docs: the deliberate non-features list (job board, member directory,
  comments, photo lightbox) and the stats strip as the social-proof pattern.

Added

• Talk archive. Events gain optional recording / slides (single-talk
  meetups) and a talks[] array (title required; speaker, recording,
  slides optional); when talks[] is present it wins over the event-level
  fields. The event page renders a Talks section (or inline links for the
  simple case), and past-event rows show a recording cue. An opt-in /talks/
  archive aggregates every talk newest-first, filterable by the parent event's
  tags: enable it with content/talks/_index.md (Hugo) or SITE.talks = true
  (Astro). New UI strings watchRecording, viewSlides, hasRecording,
  talks, talksLead.

Changed

• Speaker, organizer, and author profile pages no longer repeat the bio: the
  page hero is now a compact banner (eyebrow, name, back link) and the bio
  lives only in the persona card below it.

Added

• Community chat bridge and speaker pipeline. params.community.chat = { url, label } adds a "Join the chat" CTA to the home hero, the footer, and
  the no-events empty state (platform-agnostic: Discord, Slack, Matrix, Zulip).
  The starter ships a "Start here" first-timer page (/start/) and a "Speak
  with us" call-for-speakers page (/speak/). params.speakers.invite = true
  appends a "Your name here?" card to the speakers list (new strings
  speakerInviteTitle, speakerInviteBody), off by default.

Fixed

• Astro: the speakers and venues list pages (/speakers/, /venues/) were
  missing, so the "All speakers" / "All venues" back links on detail pages led
  to 404s. Both list pages now exist, mirroring the Hugo templates.

Added

• Notice banner and designed empty states. params.notice = { text, url? }
  renders a static, non-dismissible banner above the header (inline-markdown
  text, an optional link, no JavaScript). When there are no upcoming events,
  the home page and the events list now render a designed empty state (a
  message, the community chat CTA if configured, and the calendar-subscribe
  link) instead of a blank section. New UI strings learnMore, joinChat.

Added

• Venue access & logistics fields: wheelchair (a badge on the venue and on
  events held there), transit, parking, and a freeform access note,
  shown as a "Getting there & access" section. Inclusion as a data-model
  concern. Matching spreadsheet-importer columns. New UI strings
  gettingThere, wheelchairAccessible, transit, parking.

Added

• Calendar feed: an iCalendar (.ics) feed of events at
  /events/calendar.ics, so members subscribe once and every future meetup
  appears in their calendar app. Reuses the event time parsing (so the feed
  and the Event structured data agree), marks cancelled events, and adds a
  "Subscribe to calendar" link to the events list. scripts/check-ics.py
  validates it in CI. Hugo: add Calendar to the events section outputs.

Fixed

• Speaker, venue and organizer profile pages now show a back link to their
  list (matching blog posts and events); the organizer link follows the
  renamed team section. New UI strings allSpeakers, allVenues,
  allOrganizers.

Added

• Astro package: component overrides. popular({ overrides: { Header: './src/overrides/Header.astro' } }) replaces any of Header, Footer, Hero,
  EventRow, PostCard, OrganizerCard, AuthorBox, PageHero without forking the
  theme. (Hugo adopters already override via native template lookup.)
