- `antora serve` stays supplemental — for now
Upstream closed #1202. The live preview loop ships as antora-serve. Full argument on the blog; here is the tracker progression and where things stand.
- Unversioned component URLs
The former alias-component-to-latest extension is now unversioned-component-urls — choose selector (default) or alias-to-latest for bare /component/ paths.
- The welcome site is live — and it has a news desk
antora-supplemental.github.io is the organization front door, now with a news feed for releases and hard calls.
- Stop pasting the “latest” redirect. Install it.
alias-component-to-latest packages Antora’s component-to-latest redirect so versioned sites install it instead of copy-pasting.
- Valentus: chrome that fixes the defaults
Valentus is composed Antora doc-site chrome with bundled dark mode — and practical fixes for Default UI and Lunr pain.
- `antora serve` was declined. We shipped it anyway.
antora-serve brings generate, serve, watch, and live-reload for Antora playbooks. Optional dirty-set rebuilds via antora-incremental.
- Dark mode is an overlay. Treat it like one.
antora-dark-mode is a supplemental overlay: toggle, system preference, FOUC prevention — without owning ui.bundle.
- Supplemental is not a soft fork of Antora
Why antora-supplemental exists: fill GitHub-shaped gaps Antora will not maintain, without competing with the core toolchain.
