View Filters Filters that convert pages to normalized view objects for easier templating. releases Convert release pages to normalized ReleaseView objects with smart version detection and sorting. &#123;% for rel in pages | releases %&#125; &lt;h2&gt;{{ rel.version }}&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;time&gt;{{ rel.date | dateformat }}&lt;/time&gt; &lt;p&gt;{{ rel.summary }}&lt;/p&gt; &#123;% end %&#125; Version Detection Priority: Explicit version field in frontmatter Filename if versioned (e.g., 0.1.8.md → 0.1.8) Version pattern in title (e.g., &quot;Bengal 0.1.8&quot; → 0.1.8) Full title as fallback Sorting: By default, releases are sorted by version (highest first) using semantic comparison.
