Publii 0.35.1 Maintenance Release ready for download
Bob MitroThe Publii team's still working hard on the next big update that will bring some rather impressive new features, but in the meantime we've made lots of smaller changes that we think our users will appreciate getting their hands on earlier, rather than later. So we've decided to package them all up into this minor maintenance release of Publii, officially, version 0.35.1.
The update can be downloaded straight from the Publii Download Page; just get the latest package and it will take care of the updating process. As to what changes can be expected from this bevy of minor features, fixes and improvements, check out the list below:
New Features
- Added Sharp thumbnail generation to the Linux build, which will improve thumbnail creation and regeneration speed.
- Added option to display post slugs on post listings.
- Added option to save search results when creating a new post.
- Added option to disable RSS/JSON feeds.
- Added cancel button to the regenerating thumbnails feature.
Improvements
- Disabled upscaling while generating thumbnails.
- AMP now disabled by default.
- Improved slug generation for duplicated posts.
- Improved rendering error notifications.
- Added element for the JSON feed.
- Publii package now only includes the Simple theme to reduce package weight; other free themes can be added via the marketplace.

- JSON+LD structured data bugfixes and improvements.
