# Changelog

All notable changes to **volumen** are documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## [development]

### Added

- **Fediverse attribution:** a `fediverse_creator` frontmatter field (e.g.
  `@user@mastodon.social`) plus a site-wide `[site].fediverse_creator` default
  in `config.toml`. The value is exposed as `fediverse_creator` on post and
  site payloads, rendered as `<dc:creator>` in the RSS feed, as `authors[].name`
  in the JSON feed, and can be consumed by a front-end to emit
  `<meta name="fediverse:creator">` on rendered pages. Per-post values
  override the site default.

## [0.2.0] — 2026-06-25

### Added

- `<pubDate>` in RSS feed items, derived from the post date.
- `<lastmod>` in sitemap entries for SEO.
- In-memory rate limiting on the login endpoint: 10 attempts per 60 seconds per IP.
- `<language>` element in the RSS feed channel.
- Periodic cleanup of stale `login_attempts` entries to prevent unbounded memory growth.
- Slug format validation (`[a-z0-9._-]`) preventing path traversal and XSS in templates.
- Username validation in `change_username` matching the create-user regex.
- Escape-on-output for slug and username in admin template attributes.
- Memoization of `Store#all` with mtime-based invalidation, eliminating N×read+parse
  per request.
- Atomic file writes (tmp + rename) for posts and `users.toml`.
- Post language directory routing: non-default-language posts now land in
  `content_dir/<lang>/` instead of overwriting root-level files.
- CLI test coverage (version, help, unknown command, option parsing, config bootstrap).
- Test coverage for RSS feed and sitemap endpoints.
- CORS preflight (`OPTIONS /api/volumen/*`) so browsers can reach the JSON API.
- `Users#all` memoization with mtime-based invalidation, matching Store#all.
- Session invalidation: deleted users can no longer use existing session cookies.
- CSRF protection on `POST /admin/preview`.
- Symlink-safe containment in `Store#media_file` via `File.realpath`.

### Added

- **Scheduled publishing:** a `publish_at` frontmatter field hides posts from the
  public API and feeds until their publication date arrives. The admin form
  includes a Publish at date picker.
- **JSON Feed:** `GET /api/volumen/feed.json` serves a jsonfeed.org v1.1 feed
  with `content_html` and `date_published` per item.
- **Fulltext search:** `GET /api/volumen/posts?q=…` filters posts by
  case-insensitive match in title and body.

### Changed

- Split `lib/volumen/server.rb` into `api_routes.rb` and `admin_routes.rb` modules,
  keeping the server class focused on configuration and shared helpers.

### Fixed

- `admin.session_ttl` was defined but never read; it now controls
  `Rack::Session::Cookie` expiration via `expire_after`.
- Derived post excerpts now strip HTML tags before stripping markdown markup,
  avoiding raw HTML leaks in auto-generated excerpts.
- Draft posts no longer leak through the public detail endpoint (`/api/volumen/posts/:slug`).
- `Config::DEFAULTS` inner hashes are now frozen and `deep_merge` builds fresh
  copies, preventing mutation from silently poisoning later `Config.load` calls.
- A warning is emitted when `admin.session_key` is configured but shorter than
  64 bytes, instead of silently falling back to a random secret.

## [0.1.0] — 2026-06-20

First public release: a small, file-based Markdown blog engine in CRuby. Posts
are plain files, the engine exposes them as a JSON API and ships a self-hosted
admin — no database, no external services.

### Added

**Content & storage**

- File-based store: each post is a `.md` file with a TOML frontmatter block
  delimited by `+++`. No database.
- Post fields: `title`, `slug`, `date`, `lang`, `author`, `tags`, `draft`,
  `excerpt`, `cover`, `all_langs`, and `translations` (a `lang → slug` map).
- Drafts (`draft = true`) are hidden from the public API.
- Excerpt falls back to the first paragraph (~200 chars) when none is set.
- Estimated reading time (~200 words/min) computed per post.
- Multilingual posts: per-language slugs via `translations`, plus `all_langs`
  to surface a single post under every language.

**Markdown rendering**

- GFM rendering via kramdown: tables, fenced code blocks, task lists, and
  strikethrough.
- Automatic heading IDs for in-page anchors.
- Raw HTML in post bodies is passed through (authors are the trusted admin).

**Public JSON API (`/api/volumen`)**

- Read-only endpoints: `site`, `posts`, `posts/{slug}`, `tags`, `feed.xml`
  (RSS), and `sitemap.xml`.
- `posts` supports pagination (`page`, `limit`, returning `total` and
  `page_size`) and filtering by `lang` and `tag`.
- Permissive CORS so a separate front end can consume the API.

**Admin (`/admin`)**

- Server-rendered admin with a sidebar layout and full post CRUD.
- Dual-mode editor: Markdown source (primary) and a visual WYSIWYG, switchable
  per post, with a toggleable live preview persisted across sessions.
- Image upload from the editor toolbar into `content_dir/media`; any image
  format is accepted (WebP and AVIF included) and served with the correct
  `Content-Type`.
- Cover image field with upload, URL, clear, and preview.

**Multi-user & roles**

- Multiple admin users stored in `users.toml`, managed from a settings page.
- Two roles: `admin` (full access incl. user management) and `author` (posts
  only).
- Change password and username; last-admin and self-deletion safeguards.

**Configuration & CLI**

- TOML configuration, auto-generated with a commented template on first run.
- Configurable `host`/`port` (defaults to `9090`), `content_dir`,
  `users_file`, and `site` metadata.
- CLI: `serve`, `hash-password`, `version`, `help`, with `--config`,
  `--content`, `--host`, and `--port` overrides.

**Deployment**

- `install.sh` installs the Ruby toolchain from distro packages on Fedora and
  openEuler (and prints guidance on other distros), creates the service user
  and directories, and installs a systemd unit.
- Deployment docs for systemd and FreeBSD (`rc.d`), plus an nginx reverse-proxy
  setup that runs the admin same-origin, with brute-force rate-limiting and an
  optional IP allowlist on the login endpoint.

**Project & tooling**

- Documentation set: architecture, configuration, API reference, deployment,
  and security.
- `just` task set (`install`, `run`, `dev`, `build`, `test`, `uninstall`) and
  Forgejo Actions CI (RuboCop + tests on Ruby 3.3/3.4, gem build on release).
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` and a minitest suite; clean RuboCop.

### Security

- Passwords hashed with scrypt and verified in constant time.
- Per-form CSRF tokens on every state-changing admin request.
- Session cookies are `HttpOnly` and `SameSite=Strict`, and gain the `Secure`
  attribute automatically on HTTPS requests (detected via `request.ssl?` /
  `X-Forwarded-Proto`), so the cookie never travels over plain HTTP in
  production.
- Configurable, stable `session_key` so sessions survive restarts.
- Generic login error message to avoid username enumeration.
