# v6.2.0
## 06/24/2026

1. [](#improved)
    * Renamed the `TarsParser` added in 6.1.0 to `HybridParser`, a name that better describes how it works: one regex pass lexes every tag, then a stack-based pass resolves nesting. It pairs RegexParser's speed with RegularParser's correctness.
    * Made `hybrid` the default parser for new installs and renamed the matching Processor dropdown option in the plugin settings.
    * Kept the old `tars` setting working. Sites that selected it keep running unchanged, the value now resolves to `HybridParser` automatically, so no config edits are needed.

# v6.1.0
## 06/21/2026

1. [](#new)
    * Added the new `TarsParser`, which matches the Regular parser's correctness but runs several times faster and uses less memory.
    * Made Tars the default parser for new installs, selectable from the Processor dropdown in the plugin settings.

# v6.0.0
## 06/17/2026

1. [](#new)
    * Added a Shortcode Builder that lets you define your own shortcodes in config, each backed by a Twig template or an inline output snippet, with no plugin or PHP class needed.
    * Added a dedicated Shortcode Builder tab to the plugin settings that works in both the classic admin and Admin Next.
    * Added two starter Shortcode Builder examples, a template-backed `[callout]` and an inline `[badge]`, that you can edit or remove.
    * Added a `[translate]KEY[/translate]` shortcode that looks up a language string, the safe in-content replacement for `{{ 'KEY'|t }}` when Twig in content is disabled.
    * Added a `[uri param="foo" /]` shortcode that prints a value from the current URL with its output HTML-escaped by default, the safe in-content replacement for `{{ uri.param('foo') }}`.

# v5.4.0
## 05/07/2026

1. [](#new)
    * Added `[read-file file="theme://..." /]` shortcode that includes the contents of a Grav-stream-resolved file into the page. Delegates to `Grav\Common\Helpers\FileReader::read()` (Grav 2.0.0-rc.2+), so it inherits the same hardening as the Twig `read_file()` function: stream-only paths, `security.read_file.allowed_streams` allow-list, extension allow-list, canonical realpath containment, and max size cap. Registered as a *raw* handler so it runs before Markdown — included `.md` files become part of the page's Markdown source and render normally; HTML / SVG / JSON pass through verbatim. Companion to the Grav 2 sandbox change that drops `read_file` from the default Twig sandbox allowlist: this shortcode is the supported way to inline file content from page content. The plugin's Grav 1.7 compatibility is preserved — on 1.7 the helper isn't present, so the shortcode emits an HTML comment (`<!-- [read-file] requires Grav >= 2.0.0-rc.2 -->`) instead of leaking as literal text. Themes targeting 1.7 should keep using the legacy Twig `read_file()` function from page content.
