v1.0.0 Beta 5

This release adds a number of new features and improvements:

• npm create indiekit will now ask if you want to deploy your server using Docker. If you select yes, the initialiser will generate Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml and .dockerignore files with a recommended setup. Thanks to @sentience for the suggestion. See #639.
• Before creating a new post, you will now be asked what type of post you want to create, meaning you no longer need to visit the dashboard to create different post types. Thanks to @roobottom for the suggestion. See #632.
• Post slugs can now be edited. Indeed, the Micropub endpoint and included store plug-ins have been updated so that posts can be saved to a renamed file path. See #648.
• The category input is now far more accessible, thanks to the wonderful @accesible-components/tag-input library. See #650.
• The Mastodon syndicator has been rewritten to use Masto.js and now uses the same post visibility setting when syndicating posts. See #629 and #633.
• Consolidated repeated utility functions within a new @indiekit/util package. See #616, #617 and #619.

🚨 Breaking changes

There are also a few breaking changes in this release:

• The Twitter syndicator has been deprecated. While still available (npm i @indiekit/syndicator-twitter), it will no longer be updated because, well, you know. See #637.
• Support for the forced option on syndicator plug-ins has been removed, the first step in reviewing and simplifying Indiekit’s syndication mechanics. See #630 and #643.
• The Indiekit.addStore API has been updated such that a commit message is now provided via an options object. See #647.

⏭️ Next up

As well as the above, there has been a glut of fixes and updates, with a bit of polish to the application interface. All in service of procrastinating over addressing the myriad syndication issues. Fixing those – and writing tutorials for different web hosting platforms – are the two remaining areas I want to address before calling 1.0.0 done.

Thanks again for your suggestions, bug reports and support. Slowly but surely this project is getting closer to the vision of making the IndieWeb accessible to everyone. Onwards!
