4.0.0.beta.1

• Add resources class method to extensions to allow simple string-based resource generation.
• rename app.add_to_instance to Extension.expose_to_application for adding extension-local methods to the shared app instance.
• rename app.add_to_config_context to Extension.expose_to_config for adding extension-local methods to the sandboxed scope of config.rb
• Add Extension.expose_to_templates, which auto binds copies of extension-local methods into a Template context.
• Remove side-loading of CLI tasks from tasks/
• Add the option of naming config.rb as middleman.rb.
• Builder extracted from Thor. after_build hook now passes an instance of a Builder instead of the Thor CLI.
• New FileWatcher API.
• Remove the partials_dir setting. Partials should live next to content, or be addressed with absolute paths.
• Partials must be named with a leading underscore. _my_snippet.html.erb, not my_snippet.html.erb.
• Removed the proxy and ignore options for the page command in config.rb. Use the proxy and ignore commands instead of passing these options to page.
• The page command in config.rb can now be used to add data to the page via the data argument. It is accessed the same way as frontmatter data, via current_resource.data.
• Add support for environments with the -e CLI flag. Loads additional config from environments/envname.rb. Removed development? helper in favor of environment?(:development). Added server? helper to differentiate between build and server mode.

• Removed Queryable Sitemap API
• Removed css_compressor setting, use activate :minify_css, :compressor => instead.
• Removed js_compressor setting, use activate :minify_javascript, :compressor => instead.

• Prevent local templates being loaded when $HOME is not set
• Removed "Implied Extension feature"
• Remove 'upgrade' and 'install' CLI commands.
• Gemfile may be in a parent directory of your Middleman project root (where 'config.rb' is).
• All dependencies for your Middleman project must be expressed in Gemfile - Bundler is no longer optional.
• Asciidoc information now available with the asciidoc local, which is a normal hash.
• Remove page template local. Use current_resource instead.
• Dropped support for providing a block to page & proxy.
• Dropped support for instance variables inside templates.
• Moved all rendering into TemplateRenderer and FileRenderer
• Placed all template evaluation inside the TemplateContext class
• Remove deprecated request instance
• Remove old module-style extension support
