This is the second release of Art Menagerie!

Something to highlight is that the Gen page is now the Export page and now allows you to export your website as a .zip file and download your SQLite database. This allows you export your website even if Art Menagerie is hosted remotely (rather than locally).

Also, feed pages and images have been improved. You can now provide alt-text for feed images and use Markdown in feed descriptions.

Future Notice: I want to redo how watermarks work in the foreseeable future. I am not happy with how the positioning works and I do not know if having default settings for watermarks is working well.

This project is still in the early stages, which is why it is released with the alpha tag.

If you want to see what is on my mind for the future, check out the TODO wiki page. Items on the TODO page are ideas only.

Feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are greatly appreciated 💜

(I am considering enabling the Forum and Tickets features)

Changes
