Atom 1.0 feeds, redirect aliases via frontmatter, upgrade path for custom templates

Atom 1.0 Feeds

Every collection with has_rss = true now generates both feed.xml (RSS 2.0) and atom.xml (Atom 1.0). Atom feeds include all required elements per RFC 4287: <updated>, <id>, <author>, and <link rel="self">.

  • Per-collection and per-language feeds are generated automatically
  • All 10 bundled themes include <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml"> autodiscovery
  • No configuration changes needed — if you have RSS, you now have Atom too

Redirect Aliases via Frontmatter

Add aliases to any page's frontmatter to create redirects from old URLs:

---
title: My Post
aliases:
  - /old-url
  - /legacy/path
---

During build, seite generates:

  • A lightweight HTML redirect file at each alias path with <meta http-equiv="refresh"> and <link rel="canonical">
  • A _redirects file with 301 status codes for Netlify and Cloudflare Pages compatibility

Security: alias paths are validated against path traversal and HTML-escaped in redirect output.

Upgrade Path

  • seite upgrade documents the new features in CLAUDE.md for existing projects
  • Custom templates/base.html users get a hint to add Atom autodiscovery (bundled themes are updated automatically)
