The TL;DR List

Computed Data

Computed Data is a mechanism to transform the data at the end of the data cascade, before template rendering.

  • Read more: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/data-computed/
  • All the related issues: #481 #335 #1061 #1043 #1098 #1085 #1031 #1130 #973 #1114 #1138 #1069 #1137 Supersedes and deprecates old renderData feature (not removed yet): #942 #941 #289 #816 #912

Incremental Builds

  • Incremental support for --incremental is ongoing. Follow along at https://github.com/orgs/11ty/projects/3
  • This version supports incremental passthrough copy. Changing a passthrough copy file during --watch or --serve only copies the changed file and does not trigger a full build. #977

Shortcodes

  • In shortcodes you can now access page variable data under this.page without needing to pass in as an argument (works with Nunjucks, Liquid, 11ty.js JavaScript, Handlebars) #741

The Road to ESM

  • Adds support for *.11ty.cjs files (same as *.11ty.js files)—thanks @justinfagnani! #826 #827
    • Can use .cjs in config file, template/directory/global data files—thanks @gloryofrobots! #837 #848

New Filters

The Nitty Gritty List™

  • Adds .npmignore to streamline npm payload—thanks @pdehaan! #951 #962
  • Adds additional performance-related debug messages to help developers analyze and improve performance of builds: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/debug-performance/ #1078
  • Make the priority of different file extensions explicit in Global Data—thanks @gloryofrobots! #794 #821
  • Now parses a directory data file in the top level input directory. #935 #993
  • Support for cooldown period between builds during watch/serve. Adds Configuration API method setWatchThrottleWaitTime to set (in milliseconds). Useful if you use a Save All feature in your editor that saves multiple files at the same time. #559 Related to #977 Docs forthcoming: #1003
  • Adds beforeWatch build event (runs before a re-build during watch or serve, not the initial build) #1042
  • To discourage huge passthrough copy in the build, we now show the number of files copied in console log output #1077
  • Markdown templates (and thus markdown-it plugins) can receive and use data—thanks @blacksquaresa! #643
  • Throw an error if an 11ty.js JavaScript template doesn’t return anything! Thanks @ithinkihaveacat #1013 #1012
  • Retrieve a reference to existing Eleventy provided filters in with Configuration API method getFilter, docs pending #284

Bug fixes

  • Fail silently on empty/null dates in front matter—thanks @DirtyF @dceddia! #850 #786
  • Copy improvements in comments/code style cleanup—thanks @samuelpath! #960 #970 #968 #992 #991 #987
  • Fix for errors being swallowed in the Error Handler 😭, reporting as Cannot read property 'trim' of undefined
  • A ton of bug fixes for renderData (details above in the Computed Data section)
  • npm audit: #1023 #1026 #1025

A special note of remembrance

Before we get going here I just want to take a brief moment to remember the very special @jameswillweb who passed away earlier this month. James was diagnosed with ALS in 2013 and was known for his widespread teaching contributions to the web community. Probably the least of which, but one that I will always remember, was his creation of the floating possum mascot for our little Eleventy project. This mascot (nay, mastcot, because it lives in the masthead ok fine but James would have liked that one) lives at the top of the Eleventy docs and links to the Twitter thread he started in 2018. Though we never met in real life, James was clearly a one-of-a-kind. We will miss you ❤️

Donations may be made in James’ name to The ALS Therapy Development Institute or to Quest Youth Ministries at St. John's United Methodist Church.
