June 2021: The 'Happy Birthday, Fliss!' Edition

[denny]

Today is my flatmate's birthday! And it was either name the release for that, or call it 'the unemployed layabout release', as I finished working my notice on Friday and haven't quite sorted out the next job yet 😱

This month was mostly about finishing up the View Components work in the admin area that I started last month, although some other stuff happened along the way, as it does tend to. In particular, route partials got a complete rewrite, and feature plugin controllers/mailers/components no longer inherit common behaviour from core plugin Base classes (now they import it from core plugin Base modules instead - much better!) (I think!) 😝

Also I added an 'add element' feature to templates and templated content (pages and newsletter editions), something that power users have got a lot of mileage out of on the Perl version of ShinyCMS.

Shout out for the docs contributions from @paultcochrane this month; thanks Paul! 😃

As ever, there are more details in the release notes.
