Also change a few other things to use it, as noted in CHANGELOG.md.
TODO:
- Write a couple of tests: updated field, last_updated template variable
One slight open questions: should `updated` default to the value of
`date` rather than to None? Then pages with `date` could safely assume
`updated`.
The variable name matched the RSS tag it ended up in, but was misleading
about what it actually was—because if you actually want “last build
date”, you should use `now()`. (Due to the potential for edits, I think
that either there should be an official `updated` field on pages, or
that these templates should use `now()`.)
This includes several breaking changes, but they’re easy to adjust for.
Atom 1.0 is superior to RSS 2.0 in a number of ways, both technical and
legal, though information from the last decade is hard to find.
http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/Rss20AndAtom10Compared
has some info which is probably still mostly correct.
How do RSS and Atom compare in terms of implementation support? The
impression I get is that proper Atom support in normal content websites
has been universal for over twelve years, but that support in podcasts
was not quite so good, but getting there, over twelve years ago. I have
no more recent facts or figures; no one talks about this stuff these
days. I remember investigating this stuff back in 2011–2013 and coming
to the same conclusion. At that time, I went with Atom on websites and
RSS in podcasts. Now I’d just go full Atom and hang any podcast tools
that don’t support Atom, because Atom’s semantics truly are much better.
In light of all this, I make the bold recommendation to default to Atom.
Nonetheless, for compatibility for existing users, and for those that
have Opinions, I’ve retained the RSS template, so that you can escape
the breaking change easily.
I personally prefer to give feeds a basename that doesn’t mention “Atom”
or “RSS”, e.g. “feed.xml”. I’ll be doing that myself, as I’ll be using
my own template with more Atom features anyway, like author information,
taxonomies and making the title field HTML.
Some notes about the Atom feed template:
- I went with atom.xml rather than something like feed.atom (the .atom
file format being registered for this purpose by RFC4287) due to lack
of confidence that it’ll be served with the right MIME type. .xml is a
safer default.
- It might be nice to get Zola’s version number into the <generator>
tag. Not for any particularly good reason, y’know. Just picture it:
<generator uri="https://www.getzola.org/" version="0.10.0">
Zola
</generator>
- I’d like to get taxonomies into the feed, but this requires exposing a
little more info than is currently exposed. I think it’d require
`TaxonomyConfig` to preferably have a new member `permalink` added
(which should be equivalent to something like `config.base_url ~ "/" ~
taxonomy.slug ~ "/"`), and for the feed to get all the taxonomies
passed into it (`taxonomies: HashMap<String, TaxonomyTerm>`).
Then, the template could be like this, inside the entry:
{% for taxonomy, terms in page.taxonomies %}
{% for term in terms %}
<category scheme="{{ taxonomies[taxonomy].permalink }}"
term="{{ term.slug }}" label="{{ term.name }}" />
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Other remarks:
- I have added a date field `extra.updated` to my posts and include that
in the feed; I’ve observed others with a similar field. I believe this
should be included as an official field. I’m inclined to add author to
at least config.toml, too, for feeds.
- We need to have a link from the docs to the source of the built-in
templates, to help people that wish to alter it.
The HTML spec doesn’t require it, and I prefer to omit it. This has been
bothering me for ages, but I hadn’t gotten round to fixing it yet.
This can cause nominally invalid HTML to be emitted, if `</body>` was
omitted but `</html>` was present, but that’s unlikely to happen, and
this is for development purposes only, and the right thing will happen
anyway in all environments (per browser behaviour and spec).
I don’t think this warrants a changelog entry.
For the site integration tests, we have a file of common code which is
used by multiple files in `tests/`. However, not all functions in
this file are used by all files in `tests/`.
As Cargo compiles each `tests/*.rs` file as a separate crate, this
means that some of these crates end up with unused code. Rust notices
this and prints a warning.
Let's tell Rust that we don't care about dead code in this file so
that the warning is not printed.
The issue with the check_site test hanging and timing out seems to
be related to a similar reqwest issue, which was ultimately due to
an upstream bug in tokio and may be fixed in tokio 0.2.7 onward.
* Restore #![feature(test)] and extern crate test; statements, which
were mistakenly removed as part of the Rust 2018 edition migration.
* Fix rendering benchmark's usage of RenderContext. 6 parameters were
provided when 5 were expected.
"[…] `&` normally indicates the start of a character entity reference or
numeric character reference; writing it as `&` […] allows `&` to be
included in the content of an element or in the value of an attribute."

* updat docs for generating the search index for multiple language

Clippy is returning some warnings. Let's fix or explicitly ignore
them. In particular:
- In `components/imageproc/src/lib.rs`, we implement `Hash` explicitly
but derive `PartialEq`. We need to maintain the property that two
keys being equal implies the hashes of those two keys are equal.
Our `Hash` implementations preserve this, so we'll explicitly ignore
the warnings.
- In `components/site/src/lib.rs`, we were calling `.into()` on some
values that are already of the correct type.
- In `components/site/src/lib.rs`, we were using `.map(|x| *x)` in
iterator chains to remove a level of indirection; we can instead say
`.copied()` (introduced in Rust v1.36) or `.cloned()`. Using
`.copied` here is better from a type-checking point of view, but
we'll use `.cloned` for now as Rust v1.36 was only recently
released.
- In `components/templates/src/filters.rs` and
`components/utils/src/site.rs`, we were taking `HashMap`s as
function arguments but not generically accepting alternate `Hasher`
implementations.
- In `src/cmd/check.rs`, we use `env::current_dir()` as a default
value, but our use of `unwrap_or` meant that we would always
retrieve the current directory even when not needed.
- In `components/errors/src/lib.rs`, we can use `if let` rather than
`match`.
- In `components/library/src/content/page.rs`, we can collapse a
nested conditional into `else if let ...`.
- In `components/library/src/sorting.rs`, a function takes `&&Page`
arguments. Clippy warns about this for efficiency reasons, but
we're doing it here to match a particular sorting API, so we'll
explicitly ignore the warning.
