BREAKING: Support for CSS filters (ie. LESS support) was dropped!
Added support for specifiying a site directory for the tack and serve commands.
tack serve will now detect removed or newly added files.
Added timestamps to logging output of tack serve
Fixed crash when not called from within a site directory.
Startup time is >10x faster. Calling tack tack for a simple website is down from ~600ms to ~50ms on my very old Mac.
The software is rewritten in Go (compared to C#) for the following reasons:
- Support for more platforms (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Windows in addition to Linux and macOS)
- Maintenance & setting up build environment is way easier with Go compared to .NET (even if this improved in the past 10 years)
- Dependency tracking is easier and more reliable in Go
- Runtime requirements are lower (memory and disk space footprint) for Go version
- Go version is faster (esp. startup time)
