About this software

antennaApp 0.0.28

• Fixed the release binaries: v0.0.27 was tagged, but its cross-compiled builds failed on a cgo-only SQLite symbol, so it has no downloadable binaries; this is the first release of that code with binaries for all seven platforms
• Fixed antenna sitemap in cross-compiled binaries: it opened a cgo-only SQLite driver and failed at run time without cgo
• Everything in v0.0.27:
• Added antenna completion bash|powershell, with -install to set up completion for every new session
• Exit codes now follow the workspace convention (DR-0003): 0 ok, 1 no, 2 usage, 65 data, 66 no input, 69 unavailable, 70 internal, 73 cannot create, 74 I/O, 75 try again, 77 permission, 78 config; they are documented under EXIT STATUS in the manual
• Breaking for scripts: harvest and generate finish all their work, then exit non-zero when any feed, collection, post or page failed (a dead feed now exits 69); posts, items and pages that find nothing exit 0; a surplus argument is refused with exit 2 (preview extra used to start the server); del of an unknown collection exits 1
• antenna sitemap now lists only the site’s pages (from the pages collection) and its local posts, never harvested feed items; numbers its files across collections, writes them to htdocs, warns and exits 0 when there is nothing to list, and has -clean to remove stale sitemap_N.xml files
• Fixed RSS feeds: enclosure URLs are XML-escaped (feeds with query strings were not well-formed), an unknown enclosure length is written as 0, and items now carry their own pubDate in RFC 1123 form (#22)
• Fixed the skip link: <main> is focusable, so following it moves keyboard focus into the main area
• Fixed items dropping rows that had NULL columns, blogit treating hyphenated file names as dates, and a feed whose body was cut off being parsed as if complete
