   Very excited about the new stateful components model in Kitten¹ that I’m looking forward to releasing this week (finally) and the amount of visibility you can now get into the flow of your Kitten apps in the Kitten Interactive Shell (REPL)².

   Since the new model is a breaking change (Kitten is prerelease) I’m in the middle of updating our own apps/sites and I still need to document everything. So it will take me a few days to do all that but then I’m very much looking forward to focussing on finishing up Catalyst and Yarn³ for launch this year.

   It’s been a six year trek to reach what will essentially be the starting point of the Small Web :)

   One of the beautiful things about Sublime Merge¹ (and git/diffs) is that you can see exactly what has changed in complex expected values in tests to ensure that you’re updating the tests without overlooking regressions.

   (This is from the markdown loader tests in Kitten², as I’m refactoring to implement the upcoming breaking change in the stateful components API³ as it affects the stateful layout components in Markdown pages.)

   ¹ Which I always have running, full-screen on its own monitor.

   ³ Currently experimental and undocumented but that should change once this breaking change is implemented.

   🥳 New Kitten¹ release!

   Implemented workaround:

   There is a bug in the CommonMark spec that results in preformatted code with empty lines nested in an HTML node not rendering correctly.²

   In Kitten, this previously threw an error (see #294³ and also #318⁴).

   Kitten now works around the issue in its own parser.

   Enjoy!

   🥳 New Kitten¹ Release

   Fixed:

   • (Possible regression?) Value referencing during database event logging (see 2026-04-02 release²) was broken. This is now fixed.

   Enjoy!

   🥳 New Kitten¹ Release

   • Added: Database table event introspection.

   Use the new `__showEventsOnTable()` introspection API call on the global `kitten` object to have events on that table logged out to the console.
