Myrtana News November 2024

It took a couple of months to further develop better image support since I couldn’t really force myself to work on oni_sorceress. The mental block was too powerful. Instead I did other stuff like setting up a home server and ansible.

Last week I was able to upgrade to rails 8 rc1, fix capistrano nvm library and also refactor text renderer and processor and then I could also refactor image and other components. Now I can add new features to components quite easily. Replacing sprockets with propshaft + postcss was also pretty important as I wanted to get rid of scss, but also I need postcss to handle CSS nesting for older browsers. I don’t agree with Rails defaults to show 406 to not modern browsers.

And what is next? I’m thinking of refactoring or rewriting also some other old parts of cms, fiileystem mapper for articles and importer. But we’ll see.
