KayWebsite version history


This is a list of all released versions of KayWebsite and their changelogs, as of 30 October 2025, from latest to earliest. This list only includes v2.x and v3.x versions at the moment, and is subject to change as new KayWebsite versions come out.

The changelogs of all versions before and including v3.3.1 are inherited from KayWebsite’s changelog page, which was deprecated as of November 2025. They’ve been all archived here for historical purposes.

Version 25.x

25.11.2

Released on 29 November 2025, it mainly updated the Projects and Devices pages. Other changes include fixing issues and inconsistencies in the CSS styling, while the automated CI/CD version determination was updated to exclude unnecessary version bumps in the event of new blog posts or edits of them, unless they come “in package” with changes to the website itself.

25.11.1

Released on 19 November 2025, the main change is the fact the 88x31 buttons section in the homepage is now a collapsible box, closed by default. This is to make the homepage look cleaner.

25.11

Released on 6 November 2025, it brings various bug fixes and improvements. In particular, the general font size was increased in the Retro Frontend for better readability, while the font sizes of several elements of the main website were adjusted for consistency with respect to the general font size that was increased in the previous version.

Broken links and issues with the CI/CD version determination were also fixed, while soft breaks are now properly supported in Markdown without the need to append an \ character at the end.

25.10

The first version to use the new date versioning system in the vYY.M.R format (where YY means the year of release, M means the month of release, and R the revision number for the month), it was released on 30 October 2025. Under this new version scheme, the version is automatically determined through CI/CD on GitHub every time KayWebsite is built in production.

This KayWebsite release changed the sitewide font from Inter to Atkinson Hyperlegible and increased font size. The Devices page was also overhauled, while embeds were fixed and now display properly. On the backend side, page headings and descriptions are now declared as Astro props.

The plaintext mode warning (i.e. when no CSS is loaded, for example on browsers lacking proper CSS support like Netscape 4) was updated to properly specify that it is not explicitly supported.

Version 3.x

3.3.1

This version was released on 7 October 2025. It is the final KayWebsite version to use the Semantic Versioning (SemVer) system, as the next version would jump from major version 3 to major version 25 (for the then-current year 2025) as part of the switch to a new date versioning system in the year-month-revision format (vYY.M.R). As such, this is considered the final v3 release of KayWebsite.

  • Projects: Updated projects.
  • Devices: Minor fix.
  • Deprecated /discord redirect first introduced in v2.5.2, in favor of the same redirect from AxeonWebsite.

3.3

This version was released on 14 September 2025.

  • Added a Tags page, listing all tags used in blog posts. This completes the implementation of tags first added in v2.5.
  • Home: Added a link to the Devices page, added more fun wording and reworded the natural sights sentence.
  • Home: Added two new 88x31 buttons and removed one that became irrelevant over time.
  • Projects: Updated projects.
  • Devices: Added more details on specs of other PCs.
  • The website colors and logos have been changed to correspond with the current KayAurora branding.
  • Reduced general font-size on mobile.
  • The font used in headings on the website is now uniformly applied everywhere, including in the blog.
  • Retro Frontend: The margins on the side of the page content are no longer being rendered.
  • Reduced the amount of stars displayed on the mobile navbar.
  • The change from relative to absolute URLs for images in blog posts (v3.0.1) has been reverted. A solution has been found to keep rather relative URLs while bypassing Astro’s “image optimization”.
  • RSS Feed: Fixed small text in blog posts not being parsed correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where some links’ outlines may become thinner once the hover animation finishes.
  • Timezones sitewide are now in UTC instead of GMT.
  • tzname (previously removed from homepage in v3.2.2) is no longer supported as a configurable variable in config.ts
  • Bumped dependencies.

3.2.2

This minor version was released on 28 August 2025 and introduced small changes.

  • Devices: Correction on main PC specs
  • Home: Removed timezone name; only display the offset

3.2.1

This minor version was released on 15 August 2025, primarily as part of the domain migration, but also fixed and refined other aspects of the website.

  • Reflect on recent domain change from clyron.is-a.dev to kay.is-a.dev.
  • Devices: Slight design refinements.
  • Fixed lack of padding in subheadings/section titles.
  • Retro Frontend: font-size of the navbar no longer increases in browsers that support the CSS property.

This version was released on 11 August 2025.

  • Added a Devices page, including a list of devices I (Kay) own as well as PC Specs.

3.1

This version was released on 24 July 2025 and introduced the full Retro Frontend.

  • A new Retro Frontend has replaced the normal website layout in browsers that do not support the CSS @supports rule (i.e. older browsers). A further plaintext fallback has been thrown up together as well for browsers with limited to no CSS support.
  • Updated FontAwesome to version v7! This fixes the text alignment issue in the Socials page.

  • Added additional fallbacks for ancient browsers in style.css, with rem values falling back to px and the inclusion of background-color as an alternative to the gradient.
  • Images in the blog now all use absolute instead of relative URLs. Astro v5 automatically ““optimizes images”” with relative URLs in markdown and converts them to WebP, only supported in modern browsers, with no way to easily prevent it :(

3.0

This major version released on 18 July 2025. This is the first version of the website to refer to itself as KayWebsite and not include Tailwind CSS.

  • Completely ditched Tailwind CSS, thus regaining full control over the CSS looking forward to eventual ancient browser support. Support is currently guaranteed as low as IE11.
  • The website has received a visual overhaul! This incorporates the design of the current branding while making it more aesthetically pleasing, also adding various animations.
  • The Cairo (/cairo) page has been removed, to reduce maintenance burden. The OC had no longer been used with no plans to bring it back.
  • Home: 88x31 buttons have been moved into their own Astro Component. Also, clicking on the Kay 88x31 buttons now automatically copies their corresponding HTML codes to the clipboard!
  • Home: Introduction/biography has been rewritten to be more brief.
  • Blog: The Lynxmic Blog button has been removed. It will however continue to be accessible at /lynxblog
  • Blog: Tags now have a fallback display for ancient browsers
  • The Cards component has been removed. The Projects and Socials pages have been rewritten in list view.
  • The LegacyBrowsers component has been removed. This was supposed to redirect ancient browsers to ClyronWebsite v1.x.
  • Added support for favicon as a separate adjustable variable from the logo in config.ts.
  • Layout.astro and BlogPostLayout.astro have been renamed Site.astro and Blog.astro respectively.
  • Moved noscript warning from the navbar to the footer.
