The project underwent a complete engine rewrite, migrating from the Haskell-based Hakyll static site generator to a dynamic ASP.NET Core application using Razor Pages and F\#. This transition involved replacing legacy templates with a modular architecture, introducing server-side code highlighting via Jint, and updating all core dependencies and tooling. Comprehensive test suites and new data models were implemented to support the new functionality and ensure stability.

The project underwent a comprehensive migration from the Freya framework to ASP.NET Core, rewriting the Razor pages, controllers, and Markdown processing modules. This effort introduced bilingual support, modernized the RSS feed generation, and established new core abstractions for post rendering and testing utilities.

The website now includes three new static content sections for presentations: 'modern-programming', 'net-core-slides', and 'talk-javascriptservices'. These are added as submodules under the wwwroot/talks directory, making the associated slide decks and talk materials available to users.

The ForneverMind.Frontend project now includes a formalized build pipeline using Webpack 5 to compile client-side LESS styles and JavaScript, as well as a bundled server-side entry point. A new MSBuild project file (ForneverMind.Frontend.proj) orchestrates the build by invoking npm install and npm run scripts (debug/release) during the build process, ensuring that frontend assets are generated before the main application builds. This change establishes the foundational tooling for frontend asset management, separating the build logic from the main application structure.

New PowerShell scripts have been introduced to streamline the build and release process. Get-Version.ps1 determines the application version by parsing git tags (refs/tags/v\*) or falling back to the version defined in the ForneverMind.fsproj file for non-release builds. Prepare-Talks.ps1 automates the setup of presentation content by cleaning the target directory and running dependency installation (via Yarn or npm) for specific talk projects (modern-programming, net-core-slides, git-basics, and talk-javascriptservices), including error handling and assertions to ensure directories are not empty.

Scripts · high confidence

The application now uses the Jint JavaScript engine to perform syntax highlighting for code blocks on the server side, replacing previous client-side or alternative server-side approaches. This change introduces a new \CodeHighlightModule\ that initializes a Jint engine, loads a \server.js\ script, and exposes a \Highlight\ method for processing code snippets with language support. The module is registered in the DI container and integrated into the request pipeline, with logging added to track initialization and processing times. This shift aims to improve performance and reduce memory footprint by leveraging Jint's efficient execution model.

The core library now defines the foundational types and interfaces for the new post rendering architecture, replacing the previous Freya-based implementation. This includes the \IPostRenderer\ and \IPostsProvider\ interfaces for handling post data and rendering, along with supporting models like \PostModel\, \PostMetadata\, and \LanguageLinks\. A new \FileSystem\ module utilizing the \TruePath\ library provides path validation utilities, establishing the structural basis for how posts are processed and served.

License files have been added for numerous images in the site's static assets, explicitly declaring copyright ownership and licensing terms. Most images are now marked with an MIT license and copyright held by Friedrich von Never, while one image (2025-09-08.clojure.png) is declared under the CC0-1.0 license with copyright held by Evgeniy Andreev.

The Markdown module has been rewritten to use the Markdig library instead of the previous Freya-based implementation. This change introduces support for pipe tables in rendered content and replaces the custom HTML rendering logic with Markdig's pipeline, including a custom code block renderer that integrates with the existing syntax highlighting service. The migration also updates file path handling to use TruePath and ensures consistent UTF-8 encoding during markdown processing.

The application now uses new ASP.NET Core controllers to serve RSS feeds, replacing the previous implementation. The PagesController handles the root URL by redirecting to the default language path, while the RssController generates RSS 2.0 feeds using the WilderMinds.RssSyndication library. Users can now access language-specific feeds at /{language}/rss.xml and a combined feed at /rss.xml, with the response headers correctly including the last modification date of the most recent post.

The Razor layer has been rewritten to use native ASP.NET Core Razor Pages, replacing the previous Freya-based implementation. This introduces a structured base model for handling language-specific navigation links and separate layout templates for English and Russian content. The site now serves distinct pages for the index, archive, talks, contacts, and individual posts in both languages, along with dedicated 404 error pages for each locale.

The project has switched from plain CSS to LESS for styling, consolidating styles into modular files (contact, fonts, layout, posts, styles, syntax) imported via a main entry point. This migration includes updating the site layout width from 600px to 770px, refining the header navigation and logo positioning, and applying a flexbox layout to the footer. Additionally, code blocks and syntax highlighting are now styled using the 'agate' theme from highlight.js, and inline code is made bold for better readability.

The site engine has been completely rewritten from the Haskell-based Hakyll static site generator to a dynamic ASP.NET Core application using Razor Pages and F\#. This change upgrades the runtime to .NET 10 (SDK 10.0.401) and requires Node.js 22 for the frontend build process. The new architecture introduces a modular solution structure (ForneverMind, Core, Frontend, Razor) and utilizes git submodules for managing talk content, replacing the previous file-based template system.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

Added unit and integration tests covering the code highlighting module, Markdown parsing (including metadata, tables, and code blocks), route resolution for index, archive, contact, talks, and post pages, RSS feed generation, and 404 error handling.

This change updates the versions of several key dependencies across the project. The .NET application now uses Jint 4.16.4 for JavaScript execution, Markdig 1.4.0 for Markdown processing, and WilderMinds.RssSyndication 1.7.1 for RSS generation. The frontend build relies on css-loader ^7.0.0, highlight.js ^10.4.1, mini-css-extract-plugin ^2.8.0, and webpack-cli ^7.0.0. Test infrastructure has been updated to use Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk 18.10.1, xunit 2.9.3, and xunit.runner.visualstudio 4.0.0. Additionally, the TruePath library is referenced in version 1.12.0 for path handling.
