Piecrust 0.7.0
The new version of PieCrust has been tagged in the stable branch yesterday, and oh boy does it have some cool features. You can read about them in the CHANGELOG, or keep on reading for a more detailed presentation.

After my Mercurial plugin for Vim, Lawrencium, here’s my second official
Vim plugin! You won’t be surprised to know it’s a PieCrust plugin which adds a
few commands that make it easier to work on your website. It’s of course named
“vim-piecrust” and is available on BitBucket.
Well, actually, at the moment it’s only got on command: Pcedit. You will need
the latest PieCrust to make it work. When you do, typing :Pcedit
something<tab> in Vim will bring an autocomplete list that contains any page,
post or template that contains “something” in its filename. It makes it very
quick to edit files in your website.
I’ll add more commands in the future of course.
I’ve been focusing a lot of my free time on PieCrust these days — to the point where my other projects are suffering from it — but I’m getting close to a possible 1.0 release, which is good! But in the meantime, here’s version 0.6.0, which is not very big but still has some goodness in it.
You can go read the newly created CHANGELOG file for the whole list of changes, new features and bug fixes, but here are the most important ones, right after the break.
Here’s another post in the PieCrust cookbook series, this time focusing on a classic web-design pattern: the navigation menu.
It’s really just a bunch of links that you can put somewhere around each page’s content, but the trick here is to tell the user which page he’s currently on. This is pretty easy to do using Twig macros and the data exposed by PieCrust, assuming of course you’re using PieCrust’s default template engine.
The holidays have not just been a time spent with the family eating unhealthy amounts of equally unhealthy food: it was also a time of great changes for PieCrust. So much, actually, that I bumped the version number up twice. This is not just because those changes are pretty significant but also because they break things a bit.
