Podlite 2.0 is released
Published on May 29, 2026 by Alex Zahatski
The Podlite specification reached v2.0: eight additions and two breaking changes, with the full changelog inside the spec. Documents written for v1.0 still render unchanged, so this is a release you can adopt at your own pace.
The one most people will reach for is =data-table: point a block at a CSV or TSV file and it renders as a table, with no hand-formatting. Around it, seven smaller additions tighten how a single block carries content - pre-set attributes, content masking, typed section dividers, and graceful recovery when a table's rows do not line up. The full list and examples are in the release post.
Underneath, each block is now a contract the toolchain can rely on - one that behaves the same whether a person or an agent writes it. That consistency is what the parser and the pod6.in editor build on next.
Your backing is what keeps the specification, the parser, and the editor maintained between releases like this one.
Thank you to everyone backing Podlite - it matters.
