 - Remove `section` from the `page` rendering context: this is too expensive. Use
 the global function `get_section` if you need to get it
 - Put back a 20 page limit on rss feed by default (configurable)
+- Remove index page getting all sections: use the `get_section` global fn instead to
+only get the ones you need
+- Remove pages from pagers in pagination: they were not supposed to be there

+Gutenberg also ships with 3 Tera global functions:
+
+#### `get_page`
+Takes a path to a `.md` file and returns the associated page
+
+```jinja2
+{% set page = get_page(path="blog/page2.md") %}
+```
+
+#### `get_section`
+Takes a path to a `_index.md` file and returns the associated section
+
+```jinja2
+{% set section = get_page(path="blog/_index.md") %}
+```
+
+####` get_url`
+Gets the permalink for a local file following the same convention as internal
+link in markdown.
+
+```jinja2
+{% set url = get_url(link="./blog/_index.md") %}
+```
+
 ### Static files
 Everything in the `static` folder will be copied into the output directory as-is.
