# Changelog

## 20230802 0.1.1

Reduced the amount of output written to the console; enable `debug` mode to send more content to the console during processing.

## 20230730 0.1.0

**Breaking Change** 

* Changed the options object to include `debugMode` and `quitOnError` which makes more sense.
* Added option for adding category images properties to the metadata generated by this module. Adds `imageFilePath`, `imageAltText`, and `imageAttribution` properties when the `imageProperties` options flag is `true`. Defaults to `false`. This change allows me to use the generated metadata file to store category image metadata so I can display a different header image per category in my site. Obviously there's more to this, especially WRT dealing with articles that have multiple categories. I'll update the docs and make a blog post about this once I get this implemented on https://johnwargo.com.

## 20230619

The module needs to know what files in the folder are post files (mostly because some sites sore image files in the same folder as posts), so I added a configuration option called `postExtensions` that allows the site to specify the file extensions for post files:

```js
  const configDefaults: ConfigObject = {
    categoriesFolder: 'src/categories',
    dataFileName: 'category-meta.json',
    dataFolder: 'src/_data',
    postExtensions: ['.md', '.njk'],
    postsFolder: 'src/posts',
    templateFileName: '11ty-cat-pages.liquid'
  };
```

## 20230615

Added the module name to all console output:
