<https://github.com/varabyte/kobweb/releases/tag/v0.22.0>

This release introduces layouts.

In short, you can now set up your site in a way that stateful UI in your layout composables now survive across page navigations without needing to use local storage tricks.

There's an important warning, which is discussed in the release notes but I'll repeat again in the thread :thread:

Layouts required me to make a change to a bad default decision I made many years ago, and fixing it may visually impact your site.

If you have a site design with a footer that should stick to the bottom even when the page is mostly empty, you may notice the space collapsing with the latest release. The fix isn't hard -- and it is explained in the release notes. So if you see that, please check it out!

Unfortunately, there was no easy way to detect the case so I couldn't just fix it for you automatically. Everyone should double check your site before deploying with this new version. Thanks for understanding!
