I'll keep things brief and get right into the core changes: + +**Automatic detection of your operating system (supports Linux, macOS and OpenBSD currently)** + +* `barf` now checks your current OS and sets aliases accordingly +* this removes the need to hard-set your own aliases or run syslinks + +**Added a semantically valid RSS feed** + +* `barf` initially launched with Atom support only, now a separate RSS feed is generated at build time + +**Removed hardcoded feed links from `header.html`** + +* You now only need to set your main domain at the top of the core `barf` file. + +That's it really! I've also updated the original blog posts about setting up `barf` on macOS and OpenBSD to reflect these changes. + +Cheers! -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
