Welcome to Issue 73 of the 11ty Bundle. 11ty, aka Eleventy, is a "simpler static site generator" that is designed to be simple, flexible, and highly customizable. It is built on Node.js and allows developers to create websites by transforming templates and data into static HTML files. It supports multiple template languages, giving developers the freedom to choose the languages that best suit the needs of their project.

A note from Bob:

After 6 weeks of life disruption, living in different places, it's nice to be back home (and with 2 large displays instead of my laptop). And today, I get a long overdue haircut. Knee rehab is going well and my wife has tolerated her radiation treatments well. Onward!

A quick heads-up: in the event of a summer slowdown in content, it might be more than the typical 2 weeks between issues. Regardless, the Firehose RSS feed will bring you all the posts as I find them.

Bunch-o-releases. Zach has released new versions of a bunch-o-plugins, including (links to release notes):

• Eleventy Syntax Highlighter (Prism) v5.0.1
• Eleventy Image v6.0.3
• Eleventy Fetch v5.1.0
• Eleventy RSS v2.0.4

And a reminder that Eleventy v3.1.0-beta.1 is out. It's 22% smaller and 11% faster! Give it a spin.

UPDATE: This just in...Eleventy v3.1.0 has been released! 🎉 It's 22% smaller and 11% faster! Give it a spin.

Nunjucks lives. Natalie Carey has put out a proposal for Nunjucks maintenance. And nunjucks4 is currently in alpha. Happy to see this project get some love.

The Bundle turned 2. ICYMI, this very site turned 2 years old on May 1st. I wrote a recap of the year: 1 + 1: Celebrating 2 years of the 11ty Bundle.

A CMS for .NET. If you're into .NET and are looking for a CMS for your Eleventy sites, Steven Harland has you covered. Check it out at fr1end1y 🧡🎈.

Have snacks with your murals. Melanie Richards brings us World Snacks. And a group of Philadelphia artists delivers at Murals Arts Philadelphia with this year's theme being “Mural Arts: The Place Where Art Meets Hope.” Both are built with Figma Sites...oh wait...I mean Eleventy.

Until next time...
