Changelog

All notable changes to the LVT CLI will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Changes

• docs: drop the hype words from the mirrored CLI pages (#343) (08914ed)
• docs: point the cross-repo reference links at the docs site (#342) (5374b32)
• fix(release): refuse to bump on top of an unpublished release (#340) (beb5608)
• fix(release): survive an aborted release instead of leaving a half-bumped tree (#339) (dca2768)
• docs(changelog): note the v0.19.0 wire-format and recursion changes in v0.2.0 (d0d669c)

Adopts livetemplate v0.19.0 (from v0.11.1). Two things matter for apps scaffolded or served by this CLI:

• Range updates use a different wire format. The differential range path now emits granular ops (r/u/i/o/p) instead of re-sending the whole range payload, so deep edits scope to the changed leaf. No app change is required, and published @livetemplate/client builds have handled the format since v0.8.2 — but any pinned client older than that should be moved forward.
• Recursive {{template}} now renders. Self-referential templates (file trees, comment threads, nested navigation) are supported rather than rejected at parse time.
