v0.3.1

v0.3.1 (2026-06-27)

Make the plugins directory configurable via structure.plugins in the config file and --plugins flag in alloy init. Previously, the plugins directory was hardcoded to plugins/ while all other managed directories were configurable. Also fixes plugin file changes not being detected by the dev server watcher, and a bug where nested plugin paths (e.g. tools/plugins) broke Node runtime project root derivation.

v0.3.0 (2026-06-27)

Minor Changes

Custom elements (HTML tags with hyphens like <alloy-code>, <wa-tab-group>) are now treated as block-level HTML in Goldmark. Content inside is preserved verbatim — no markdown processing, no smart quotes, no <p> wrapping — and blank lines do not terminate the block.

Configurable via content.markdown.goldmark.customElements (default: true).

# alloy.config.yaml
content:
  markdown:
    goldmark:
      customElements: true     # treat custom elements as block-level HTML (default: true)

<!-- content/example.md -->
<wa-tab-group>
<wa-tab panel="one">Tab 1</wa-tab>

<wa-tab-panel name="one">
Panel content with "quotes" and blank lines — all preserved verbatim.
</wa-tab-panel>
</wa-tab-group>

Patch Changes

Fix Liquid delimiters in code blocks being interpreted as template syntax when render hooks replace the default <code> element. Delimiters are now entity-encoded in markup.inner before reaching the hook template.
Fix alloy dev not rebuilding pages when layout partials change. Editing files like layouts/partials/header.liquid now correctly triggers a full rebuild instead of silently skipping all pages.
Fix spurious warnings during alloy dev and alloy serve when atomic-write editors create temp files that vanish before the debounced watcher copy runs. Transient os.ErrNotExist errors are now silently skipped.

v0.2.0

v0.2.0 (2026-06-25)

Minor Changes

Sections listed in the collections: config now declare collection membership without requiring date-token permalink patterns. Non-blog sections like releases or changelogs can participate in collections.* pagination and template loops.

# alloy.config.yaml
collections:
  releases:             # declares releases/ as a collection — no date tokens needed
    sortBy: date
    order: desc

# content/releases/_data.yaml
permalink: "/releases/:title/"

{% for release in collections.releases %}
  <a href="{{ release.url }}">{{ release.title }}</a>
{% endfor %}

Patch Changes

Fix race conditions in concurrent plugin hook execution and runtime initialization.

v0.1.1

v0.1.1 (2026-06-24)

Reduce internal memory footprint by removing unused cascade data layers.

v0.1.0

v0.1.0 (2026-06-23)

Initial release of Alloy — a fast, extensible static site generator written in Go.

• Config: Customize your project structure, build output, content formats, and plugin settings in YAML, TOML, or JSON

  title: "My Site"
  baseURL: "https://example.com"
  structure:
    content: "src/content"
    layouts: "src/layouts"
  templates:
    engine: "liquid"

• Content: Write pages in Markdown or plain HTML with YAML frontmatter

• Data: Load YAML, JSON, and CSV data files — available globally in templates as site.data

  data:
    files:
      authors: "data/authors.json"

• Cascade: Inherit layout, metadata, and configuration down the directory tree via _data.yaml files with deep merge

• Permalinks: Control output URLs per-collection with token-based patterns

  permalinks:
    blog: "/:year/:month/:slug/"

• Collections: Group content and generate taxonomy pages

  taxonomies:
    tags:
      permalink: "/tags/:slug/"
  collections:
    blog:
      sortBy: "date"
      order: "desc"

• Templates: Liquid and Go html/template engines with shortcodes, filters, and composable layouts

• Output: Generate sitemaps, feeds, and multiple output formats per page

• Assets: Process assets through the build pipeline with built-in cache-busting support

• Static: Copy static files with passthrough mappings and glob-based exclude patterns

  passthrough:
    - from: "node_modules/@rhds/elements"
      to: "assets/vendor/rhds"
      exclude: ["*.map"]

• Pagination: Paginate collections with configurable page size and custom permalink patterns

• i18n: Build multilingual sites with per-language content directories, URL prefixing, and translation strings

  languages:
    en:
      title: "English Site"
      root: true
    fr:
      title: "Site Français"

• Pipeline: Incremental rebuilds that only reprocess changed files

• Plugins (QuickJS): Drop a JS file in plugins/ for in-process filters, hooks, and shortcodes — no Node.js required

  export default function(alloy) {
      alloy.shortcode("greeting", (args) => {
          return `<p>Hello, ${args[0]}!</p>`;
      });
  }

• Plugins (WASM): Compile filters from Rust, TinyGo, or AssemblyScript for near-native performance

• Plugins (Node): Opt into a full Node.js subprocess runtime for plugins that need npm packages or filesystem access

• Hooks: React to build lifecycle events and inject virtual pages

  alloy.hook("onContentLoaded", { pages: true }, (pages) => {
      // inject virtual pages, transform content, etc.
  });

• CLI: alloy build, alloy dev (development server with file watcher and live reload), alloy serve, alloy init, and alloy version
