[folderblog](https://folderblog.ninepointlabs.com) 0.2.9 is a fix release that came out of a full QA pass over [this morning’s 0.2.8](https://blog.ninepointlabs.com/2026/10/folderblog-0-2-8/). That pass followed the published instructions step by step, the way a new user would, and the rough edges it found are fixed here. Most of it is podcast polish, plus a change that keeps your post addresses the same when you clone or copy a blog.

Three changes are worth knowing about first:

`podcast/index.md` or with `[podcast] title`.` dates.toml`.`.blog/` folder, so a fresh clone could give the post a different address. It’s now kept in `[podcast.storage] prefix` setting needs 0.2.9 or newer.`podcast setup` now writes it, and `folderblog check` suggests the exact line for existing shows. Older versions refuse a `blog.toml` that has it, so update every machine that builds the blog first.`folderblog podcast publish --episode` (and the MCP `publish_episode` tool) now changes only the `draft:` line. Before, it rewrote the whole front matter and dropped the comments from the template.`check` looks at draft episodes too.`guid` show up as warnings, and the suggested guid is the same every time you run it. `folderblog podcast` now counts episodes left out because of a problem, and a draft no longer needs audio hosting set up.`type = "s3"` and no key, folderblog now tells you how to give it one (`FOLDERBLOG_STORAGE_KEY_ID` and `FOLDERBLOG_STORAGE_SECRET`, or a key file) instead of pointing you at the R2-only `folderblog status` says so plainly, and a failed `install-service` removes the unit file it wrote (or puts the old one back) and tells you what to do instead.`posts/` and `pages/` that no page uses are still published, and now you’ll know which ones they are. It also notes that a robots.txt under a `base_url` path isn’t read by search engines.`--tag`, and there’s new coverage of template route headers, `folderblog data` examples.
