+
+Haunt version 0.3.0 has been released!  It’s been just over 2 years
+since the last release, and many fixes and improvements have been
+accumulated so this is long overdue!
+
+## About Haunt
+
+Haunt is a static site generator that uses the Guile Scheme as its
+configuration language.  It aims to be simple, functional, and
+extensible.
+
+Features include:
+
+* Easy blog and Atom/RSS feed generation
+* Markdown post support
+* Simple development server for viewing edits before publishing
+* Purely functional build process
+* User extensibility
+
+## Notable changes
+
+* Added first-class support for publishing Haunt websites via new
+  `(haunt publisher)` module.  For starters, publishers for `rsync`
+  and Sourcehut are included.  See [the
+  manual](https://files.dthompson.us/docs/haunt/latest/Publishers.html)
+  for more details.
+
+* Added `haunt publish` command.  See [the
+  manual](https://files.dthompson.us/docs/haunt/latest/Invoking-haunt-publish.html)
+  for more details.
+
+* Added the oft-requested “flat pages” builder.  Flat pages cover the
+  simple case of converting a tree of files written in some markup
+  language to full web pages.  They work great for the more
+  informational parts of a website that don’t require any fancy
+  programming to generate, like an “About me” page.  See [the
+  manual](https://files.dthompson.us/docs/haunt/latest/Flat-pages.html)
+  for more details.
+
+* Added `post-slug-v2` procedure that fixes problems with the original
+  slug generator.  For example, the original `post-slug` transforms
+  `0.3.0` to `030` while `post-slug-v2` transforms it to `0-3-0`.
+  Unfortunately, the original `post-slug` is effectively set in stone
+  because changing it would break existing URLs upon upgrade.  Users
+  can opt-in to the new slug generator by adding `#:make-slug
+  post-slug-v2` to their `site` arguments in `haunt.scm`.
+
+* Added redirects builder which generates HTML pages that perform
+  client-side redirects.  Useful for cases when you don’t have control
+  over web server configuration or just want to have more
+  “configuration as code”.  This builder will definitely come in handy
+  if you choose to upgrade to `post-slug-v2`.  See [the
+  manual](https://files.dthompson.us/docs/haunt/latest/Redirects.html)
+  for more details.
+
+* Added collection pagination support to blog builder.
+
+* `haunt serve --watch` reloads user Scheme modules when they change
+  on disk.
+
+* Added `--host` option to `haunt serve`.
+
+* `post-time` now returns a fallback value if there is no timestamp on
+  the post rather than `#f`.
+
+* Added `application/wasm` MIME type support to `haunt serve`.
+
+* Added `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` header to HTTP responses in
+  `haunt serve` to avoid CORS issues while developing.
+
+* Added `post-author`, `post-tags` and `post-title` convenience
+  procedures.
+
+* Added `reader-find` and `reader-read` procedures.
+
+* Added `#:post-prefix` parameter to blog builder, allowing for post
+  pages to nested deeper than collection pages in the resulting file
+  hierarchy.
+
+* Added documentation for [RSS
+  builder](https://files.dthompson.us/docs/haunt/latest/RSS.html).
+
+* Added `#:last-updated` parameter to atom and RSS feed builders for
+  reproducible generation of feeds that don’t change timestamps every
+  build.
+
+* Fixed `haunt` executable so that it automatically adds its own
+  modules to `GUILE_LOAD_PATH` and `GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH`.  This
+  addresses a longstanding source of confusion when users install
+  Haunt to a location that isn’t on Guile’s default load path such as
+  `/usr/local`.
+
+* Fixed atom feed generation issues such as using `content` instead of
+  `summary` for blog post contents and “self” URLs that did not have a
+  URI scheme.
+
+* Fixed blog builder to only render pages for posts that are in a
+  collection rather than all posts.
+
+* Fixed inotify integration so that it is *not* compiled or loaded on
+  non-Linux platforms.
+
