Content Management Systems (CMS): Release of staticsite 2 and and WordPress-Connected FUD (UPDATED)
-
Released staticsite 2.x
In theory I wanted to announce the release of staticsite 2.0, but then I found bugs that prevented me from writing this post, so I'm also releasing 2.1 2.2 :grin:
staticsite is the static site generator that I ended up writing after giving other generators a try.
I did a big round of cleanup of the code, which among other things allowed me to implement incremental builds.

Researchers Discover New Linux Malware Targeting WordPress Sites [Ed: It's not about Linux. It's not about WordPress per se, either. It's about unpatched plugins, but the media is biased and it tries to stigmatise things.]

Staticsite redesign
These are some notes about my redesign work in staticsite 2.x.
Maping constraints and invariants
I started keeping notes of constraints and invariants, and this helped a lot in keeping bounds on the cognitive efforts of design.
I particularly liked how mapping the set of constraints added during site generation has helped breaking down processing into a series of well defined steps. Code that handles each step now has a specific task, and can rely on clear assumptions.
