v1.0.0 Beta 20

I’ve been sitting on a few new features which I was intending to release as part of a larger update. But when it came to fixing an issue with IndieAuth endpoint, I thought it was probably best to get these changes out to everyone.

These new features are:

• support for channels (#774)
• a new plug-in that means you can see mentions sent to a webmention.io account, in lieu of native support (#740)
• a new featured image post field type (#782)

There are also some improvements to how frontend assets are compiled, which should make things a bit speedier in that department (#776), and some tidying up of Indiekit’s core (#781), including upgrading to use Express.js v5 (#778).

Finally, the documentation website now includes the README file for each first-party plug-in, which should hopefully make adding and setting these up a little easier (#777).

💟 Indiekit is supported by its community. This release was sponsored by @sentience.
