v5.3.0

This update brings a very cool feature to Blog-Doc!
In the previous versions, if you create a page or a post, your modifications will instantly be reflected on your site.
What if you are writing a long document and want to see it before making it public?
Now it's possible! You just have to use a select to choose if you wish to publish your file right away or save it as a draft to publish it later on.

Please keep in mind the following:

• If you choose to publish later on, your document will not be visible anywhere on your site (blog, archive, search, rss, sitemap...)
• If you choose to publish later on, you'll be able to preview the document from the administration, just hit the Submit button while the Publish option is false
• Once a document is published, it's accessible on your site, you can of course choose to make it unpublished again

Forgotten in the previous version, this update adds a URL input to the modals of the main routes (blog, archive, tags, individual tag, search) so you can fetch an image from an external source for each one of them.

The following updates were made:

• Add URL input to routes images modal
• Add files' option to publish or save as draft
• Add an admin route to preview a document if it's not published

ENJOY!🚀

v5.2.0

This update brings a new feature to Blog-Doc in Space.
You can now use the URL input, located at the top of a gallery's modal, to fetch an image from an external source without including it in a gallery.

The following updates were made:

• Add URL input in modals to fetch an image from an external source
• Prevent content duplication on create and update

v5.0.0

New version of Blog-Doc for Deta Space

Rewritten from ground up, Blog-Doc for Space now uses:

• Velocy, A blazing fast, minimal backend framework for Node.js / Instead of Express
• Eta, lightweight, powerful, pluggable embedded JS template engine / Instead of EJS
• Marked, Markdown parser and compiler. Built for speed / Instead of Markdown-It
• formidable has been updated from 3.2.5 to 3.5.1
• And deta for the Drive SDK

The only remaining module from the old stack is formidable, gray-matter and markdown-it-prism have also been removed.
This change of stack makes Blog-Doc faster and lighter with the use of 14 modules (1.9161MB) instead of 131 (10.082MB) 🤯

The administration has also been updated with some new functionalities.
The SSG is not included in Blog-Doc on Space, I'll consider later on to include it or not depending on Blog-Doc's usage and requirements on Space.

To install and use the app, read Blog-Doc Space Installation

I wish you an enjoyable trip with Blog-Doc 🚀
