Pre-release: Eleventy v3.0.0-alpha.16 (feel free to ignore this one)

• Seeing a liquidjs-related project regression (outside of our test suite) in the newest minor version, temporarily reverting from 10.15 to 10.14.
  • Investigation at #3356 revealed an application code error and the revert is unnecessary!

The Big Features

Smaller, More Secure

• ✅ Dependencies decreased by 32.1%: 211 modules (311 in v1.0.2)
• ✅ node_modules file weight decreased by 77.8%: 34.3 MB (155 MB in v1.0.2)
• ✅ 30.5% faster npm install time

Faster Builds

• Improved build performance (tested on a sample 500 page site against v1.0.2) using:
  • Liquid: ✅ 18.18% faster
  • Nunjucks: ✅ 17.74% faster
  • Markdown (with Liquid): ✅ 17.95% faster
  • JavaScript (11ty.js): ✅ 8.33% faster
• --incremental for incremental builds #108
  • Smarter incremental builds with support for layout dependencies, registered dependencies on custom templates, dependencies in pagination data or eleventyImport #975
• --ignore-initial command line option to skip the first build (best paired with --incremental)
• Use emulated passthrough copy to serve passthrough files directly without triggering a build (will still work with live reload) #2456

Plugins

• Support for WebC, the new single file format for web components
• Eleventy Edge will render Eleventy templates in an Edge Function for dynamic content (bundled with Eleventy)
• Eleventy Dev Server replaces Browsersync, adds support for DOM-diffing live reloads. #1305 (bundled with Eleventy)
• Render Plugin will render any template syntax inside other files (bundled with Eleventy)
• Internationalization (i18n) Plugin makes it easy to create localized sites (bundled with Eleventy)
• HTML <base> Plugin makes it easy to deploy your site to any folder path without changing any content (works great with the path prefix feature) (bundled with Eleventy)
• Support for the Vite plugin

And more…

• Support for aliasing to an existing template language #2248
  • This unlocks TypeScript or JSX in Eleventy when you use esbuild-register and alias 11ty.ts or 11ty.tsx to 11ty.js.
• Event arguments unlock new plugin abilities: dir (input/output/includes/data/layouts locations),
  outputMode (where the templates are going: fs, json, ndjson), runMode (build, watch, or serve), or results for the processed Eleventy output.
• Memory usage improvements to Pagination

Breaking Changes

⚠️ Rather than review this list, it’d be faster to use the eleventy-upgrade-helper plugin, which runs a suite of tests to see whether or not you need to worry about these breaking changes in your project: https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-upgrade-help

• Bump minimum Node version to Node 14+ #2336
• Disable indented code blocks in Markdown by default #2438
• Both .git and nested node_modules folders are ignored by default (previously we ignored node_modules/**, now **/node_modules/**) #2436
• Dates will now be stripped from the parent directory for page.fileSlug when the file name is index.*. e.g. YYYY-MM-DD-myslug/index.md has a page.fileSlug of myslug when previously it was YYYY-MM-DD-myslug #1947 #2111
• Dots in global data file names should be preserved in key name for data cascade #1242 #1912
• Removes deprecated in v1.0 (and undocumented) renderData feature (use Computed Data instead) #2356
• Removes pre-processing global JSON data files with a template language #2728
• Removes --passthroughall command line flag #2682
• Major dependency bumps:
  • liquidjs from v9 to v10 Release notes #2678
  • luxon from v2 to v3 Release notes
  • markdown-it from v12 to v13 Release notes

The Small Features

• Adds support for configuration default file names eleventy.config.js and eleventy.config.cjs in addition to .eleventy.js #1029
• addShortcode is now async-friendly #2726
• addFilter is now async-friendly #2536 (also adds an addAsyncFilter API method)
• File watching:
  • Eleventy Dev Server includes a watch option to trigger live reloads on file changes outside of your Eleventy build. Works great when you’re using a bundler in parallel!
  • Decoupled ignore APIs for template processing (eleventyConfig.ignores) and file watching (eleventyConfig.watchIgnores) #893
• Access advanced recursive-copy options in passthrough file copy #1686
  • Unlocks passthrough copy with symlinks #530
• log filter supports chaining #2467
• Adds new git Created date option #2468
• Adds options for read and encoding to custom data formats
  • This unlocks using binary files (like images) to populate the Data Cascade

Even Smaller Features

• Adds eleventy.env.runMode to global data. #2770
• setDataFileSuffixes API method to customize Template and Directory data file suffixes (or opt-out of the Template and Directory Data Files feature) #2681
• Serverless option singleTemplateScope: false simplifies using collections in serverless mode. #2736
• A variety of bug fixes for --serve issues that required server restarts.
• Data Consistency:
  • this.page and this.eleventy are now available on [Shortcodes](https://v2-0-...
