HasClunk 0.7.0
                      ==============
                        2022-09-25


Today I've released HasClunk 0.7.0 [1].  This is a small but
useful  update   that   tweaks   RSS   generation   a   bit.

After installing a new RSS reader on my phone I noticed that
the posts in my feed don't have any dates.  This was no real
surprise since I didn't add pubDate tags to the feed, always
relying on the post order making sense. However, this reader
jumbled up the post order so adding dates was necessary  and
it's also nice for my (non-existing) readers to know that  I
have in fact written posts  at  a  certain  date,  and  that
they're not dateless posts that have been  conceived  beyond
time and space.

Another thing I addressed is the fact that most RSS  readers
don't like relative URL's in stuff like images. HasClunk did
support using  the  base_url  tag  in  posts,  however  when
converting from Markdown to HTML Pandoc is  kind  enough  to
replace these tags with HTML entities, which makes trying to
replace them afterwards a  bit  problematic,  or  well,  not
working at all.  So now I'm first replacing  those  base_url
tags in the original post files and then converting them  to
HTML.
