I’m updating the Small Technology Foundation site (and our other sites) in preparation of today’s mammoth Kitten release that’s taken me seven months to prepare and it’s quite lovely to refactor something you could previously only do in HTML (see the IDs and class name) into Markdown and have it just work. The whole reason for this crazy round of dev was to ensure that Kitten is as rock solid as possible as its the foundation of Catalyst and Meow. (This is just a little thing – Kitten’s an entirely different beast in terms of stability, consistency, and security than it was in April.)
PS. If you’re wondering about the <${FundUs} /> bit, that’s a Kitten component being instantiated in the Markdown. You can import them just like you can in JavaScript (and in the upcoming release, TypeScript) pages by including a script section in your front-matter.

Right… fingers crossed, barring calamity, I should start rolling out the Kitten update in the next few minutes.
Migrating servers from API version 0 to API version 1 is a manual process (from API version 1 onwards, it’s automatic, including across API versions, with full rollback) so I’m going to be updating our servers too afterwards.
I’ll make an announcement once I’m happy that everything is running smoothly.
(And then, hopefully go and celebrate at my big 5-0 birthday do this evening in Dublin with some good ’ol BBQ and drag queen karaoke.)
Never release on a Friday? But it ain’t a Friday, amirite? :)
🤞
