Change Log

Fixed some issues with allow Express 4.0.0+ in tests and examples 2816f43a68e04714bf28a838cb618e7cf5517a68, 57eba690d1a4e1b07a1d1c2b6fbb82e7c062cdca
Render helpful errors in posts that have template errors, and hide posts with template errors in production, issue #82
Expose additional properties to template functions, issue #81
Add method unwatch to remove all current watchers, issue #68

⚠️ The routes configuration option during instantiation will no longer create routes that are not explicitly defined, unless using defaults, issue #71
- Leaving routes as empty will continue to use the default routing.
- Setting routes to null will not set any routes.
- Setting routes to an object will only define routes specified in that object. Therefore, using an empty object will not set any routes.
⚠️ Post slugs are now created from the title attribute instead of the file name. Slugs can also be customized by adding a slug attribute in a post, issue #64, issue #69
Bake version of marked and json-front-matter to be consistent with previous versions -- can include newer versions with custom templating.
Handles errors more gracefully when posts cannot compile with their template, issue #61

Added a 'next()' fallback for the auto page route, issue #45
Allow users to specify their own options to be included in poet.options, issue #37,
Fixed an issue where calling addRoute with an invalid route misbehaves, issue #38

Check out the examples directory for updated uses of the changes.

require('poet') now returns a constructor (new is not needed). The constructor takes an Express app argument and an options argument. All methods are now performed on the resulting instance, rather than the global Poet object.
Auto updating now possible! The watch method has been added to auto update poet on any post change.
init method now returns a promise for the completion of the reinitialization. It also still accepts a callback.
set has been removed -- options are passed in during instantiation.
All route creation methods (createPostRoute, createPageRoute, createTagRoute, createCategoryRoute) have been removed and created on instantiation. The routes option in configuration may be used instead.
addRoute method has been added to define a custom route.
middleware has been removed. This can be achieved by using the instance's helper properties which contain all the previous helpers/locals.
Several locals/helpers have been renamed:
- pageUrl is now pageURL
- tagUrl is now tagURL
- categoryUrl is now categoryURL
- sortedPostsWithCategory is now postsWithCategory
- sortedPostsWithTag is now postsWithTag
Several helpers have been removed and turned into functions
- postList can now be retrieved via getPosts()
- tagList can now be retrieved via getTags()
- categoryList can now be retrieved via getCategories()
