Hi toastal,

Wow, that's an interesting gotcha! Could you send me a complete page for
testing?
I think I already can see how I can make the select function behave
correctly, just need something to test with.

Regarding the codeberg repo, I need to make some automated solution for
keeping the repos is sync.
Do you know any good solutions? I was thinking of writing one myself
because I couldn't find any,
but I hope I was wrong and just couldn't find them.

Agree. I definitely would like to make it easier to install for users of
different OSes/distros, it's just time and release lifecycle constraints
that prevent me from working on it (for the record, I'm a Fedora user
myself).

From a quick look at nixpkgs, all OCaml libraries required to build
soupault 2.7.0 are already there, and they seem reasonably quick to
merge pull requests if new dependencies are needed.

Hi Edison,

They work for me, so this is odd. See
https://github.com/dmbaturin/baturin.org/blob/master/soupault.conf#L102-L109

I'll need to see your config to tell anything and reproduce the issue.

Hi everyone,

Today I've released soupault 2.6.0:
https://soupault.app/blog/soupault-2.6.0-release/

Then I remembered about the mailing list. The list has been completely
silent for the last five months.
All communication happened elsewhere.

Does anyone still plan to use the list as a release notification and
discussion mechanism?
If not, I suppose it's better to archive it and remove its mention from
the website.

Hi everyone,

Soupault 2.2.0 release is now available for download and from OPAM. Read
the full announce at:
https://soupault.neocities.org/blog/soupault-2.2.0-release

Highlights:

* The global soupault config is now availble to plugins as `soupault_config`
I think it was Aoirthoir's idea originally.

* There's a new config section named "custom options" that is exempt
from option validity checks.
You can put arbitrary settings there and use them from plugins.

Hi Tom,

There are two ways to use it.

Soupault can extract metadata from the pages using CSS selectors and
configurable fields—a bit like scraping your own site

Hi everyone,

Soupault has definitely grown, but I wouldn't call its current state
"maturity".
It's more like "coming of age": it avoided parental^W maintainer
abandonment,
survived a few childhood diseases, and got its first jobs.

However, the decisions of what it wants and doesn't want to be aren't
final yet,
and the question how to make it grow is not answered either.

It would be cool to have a meetup with early adopters (and everyone
interested)

Do you think it's the global config that should be exposed, including
configs of other widgets?

I think earlier you suggested to add a special section for shared plugin
settings. I think a sensible approach would be to create a new
[settings.custom] section where anything goes, and then expose the
entire [settings] section to plugins.

This way plugins will have access to the fundamental settings like
directory paths, clean URLs flag etc. and to user-defined options.

Hi Aoirthoir,

The _complete_ config is not available to plugins yet. However, it's
doable now, and not even hard to do.

If you think there are use cases for it, I can add it and either make a
build for you or make a new beta.

Hi everyone,

Soupault 2.0.0-beta1 is available. It makes breaking changes to the
config format in order to unblock some useful improvements and clean up
the format before it's too late (as in, while the community is still small).

Please read the blog post carefully:
https://soupault.neocities.org/blog/soupault-2.0.0-beta1-release/

I also wrote a convertor from the old to the new syntax:
https://soupault.neocities.org/1-to-2
Its only issue is that it cannot preserve original formatting and
comments, so instead I made it output a details log of its actions so
that you can use it as a guide, if you choose to edit the config by hand.
