Kitten loves its tiny teddy bear

🥳 New Kitten release!
Markdown and general renderer fixes.
Fixed:
• Nested Markdown sections rendering bug.
• Detection of components in Markdown where the opening tag spans multiple lines.
• Support for returning a component as a top-level object in a page.
• Slots in Markdown now work as they should (make sure you add them as block-level items, so with a leading and trailing empty line)
Enjoy!

Betsaida Mercado had a plan for what to do if she ever found a stray cat. Then she heard a "terrified" meow on her morning commute.

🥳 New Kitten Release
To GNU tar or not to GNU tar?
• Installing Kitten on Linux should no longer display a screenful of gibberish from the tar command.
You see, macOS, being special, includes BSD tar, not GNU tar, and adds a bunch of Mac-specific metadata and extended header keywords to archives that GNU tar on Linux machines then chokes on and regurgitates onto your screen as warnings.
With this release, Kitten’s packaging script expects GNU tar to be available on ma…

I haven’t added an example of how you implement migrations with Kitten’s¹ built-in JSDB database² yet but here’s one that I just used when renaming a field (property) in a table (JavaScript object) from “account” to “data” that illustrates the general granular approach you should take within persisted instances of JavaScript classes.
This is, of course, an advanced use case of the built-in JavaScript database that all Kitten apps have.
Kitten is simple for simple use cases. So ch…

I really want to know where they find these people, every single one is from some even more awful organization.
Next appointee is probably from the Baby-Roasting Institute or the National Association of Kitten Squeezers.

A long time ago my grandmother opened up a closet and found my new kitten looking back up at her from inside a paper bag. She was both startled and amused enough to snap this picture. #catsofmastodon #caturday

When humans feel powerless, especially after traumatic events or retraumatization or ~ gestures generally at C-PTSD ~ what often helps is having an area of control over choices, decisions, and outcomes (especially outcomes that have positive side effects like humans liking the action/work/result)
And thus I flew to LA for a weekend and got a tattoo.

@… I think it’s supposed to be the opposite of “conservative”. Conservatives want to conserve the status quo, progressives want to change it (in any direction). It was never a useful label on its own, but now people call themselves “conservative” even if they want to burn down the existing government and replace it with a kitten on a stick, so… totally useless now.

🎉 New Kitten¹ Release: A little housekeeping 🧹
Today’s release only concerns production servers:
• Kitten no longer counts all *hits* in its stats. You can still see which of your *pages* are most popular, etc., and see stats for missing URLs, etc., as before from either the web interface or the interactive shell, but not every hit is logged. Instead, you can see the latest 25 served routes in Kitten’s Settings (at /🐱/settings/state/requests/ via the web on your server).

I sentence you to kitty jail 🫵

I blame my parents.

Kitten’s installation server was down for the last two days. In case you tried to install it and it failed, that’s why.
Issue’s now been fixed.

Visiting family today and they have a kitten which is always exploring so is called Dora, but ended up on my lap. #Caturday (a day late)

🥳 New Kitten Release
• Improved Markdown parser
Kitten’s JavaScript tagged template strings (`kitten.html`) no longer fail to render as expected when interpolated values are used inside of Markdown where the Markdown render changes source order.
So, for example, the following will now work correctly, whereas, previously, the link source and link text would have been erroneously flipped:
kitten.html`
<markdown>
[${linkText}](${linkSource})

Israeli cyber and computer science experts phished by Iran-linked APT42 https://therecord.media/israel-cyber-experts-computer-scientists-phished-iran

News outlet Iran International says that Banished Kitten, a threat group linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, likely installed malware on its journalists' Telegram accounts in two coordinated attacks in 2024 and 2025.

Leaked materials came from previously reported cyberattacks, Iran International confirms
Iran International confirmed on Tuesday that recently published materials from the hacked Telegram accounts of its journalists are linked to two separate cyberattacks carried out in the summer of 2024 and January 2025.

The new integrated Markdown parser I’ve been implementing in Kitten has been kicking my ass for the past few weeks but I think I finally have it fully working and seamlessly so. Expect a new release this/next week that brings the parsing of Markdown pages (.page.md files) in your apps up to the standard of the recently-improved runtime Markdown parsing in Kitten HTML tagged-template strings (within `<markdown>…</markdown>` blocks).
The coolest thing is I was able to impleme…

Housekeeping:
