The first minor version of Lume 3 is dedicated to Alexandre Bóveda, a financial officer and politician who was executed on 17 August 1936 by Franco's dictatorship because of his Galician ideals. The night before his death, he wrote three farewell letters, the last one to his brother:

[...] I will die peacefully; I trust that I will be received where we all want to get together, and I do it with joy and entrust to God this sacrifice. I wanted to do good, I worked for Pontevedra, for Galicia, and for the Republic, and the flawed judgment of men (which I forgive and you all must forgive) condemns me.

Be more of a man now than ever because this is when you should be the most, for our elderly and for the children, to whom, without expecting it, you are going to be a little father. Comfort them all and try to always be good. Don't regret how much good you have done and can still do. [...]

Alexandre is not only a Galician martyr but also a demonstration that there have always been good people in the world. Now, more than ever, we have to remember that.

It's been a while (one and a half year!) since LumeCMS was announced as an alternative to other existing CMS to edit the content of websites.

During this time, the project was improved in many ways: more field formats, more customization options, light/dark mode, etc.

But, like many projects in their earlier phases, LumeCMS was a bit "tricky" to run. It was created as a framework-agnostic solution, but in practice, it wasn't easy to set up for other frameworks than Lume.

Version 0.13 has received a lot of changes in order to address this issue, among others. Some of these changes are BREAKING CHANGES (hopefully they are only a few). And even though it's still a development version (the version starts with v0.* yet), I think it's an important step towards the future v1.0 version.

Vento was born two years ago as an experiment to create a modern, ergonomic, and async-friendly template engine for JavaScript. Initially, it was a Deno-only project, intended to become the default template engine for Lume. But as soon as the NPM package was available, other projects started to use it.
