v13.5.0
13.5.0
New features
It’s easier to set a page title (thanks @frankieroberto !)
Page titles are important for accessibility. Previously you set them like this:
{% block pageTitle %}
My page name - {{ serviceName }} - GOV.UK
{% endblock %}
That approach still works, but you can now do this instead:
{% set pageName="My page name" %}
And the kit will make the rest of the title for you, using your service name.
Better error handling
The kit now handles some errors, such as a missing page, with a nice page in the browser.
You can use .njk extensions for views
Please note this is an experimental feature - if you use it please let us know if you have any issues.
Previously, all the files in the app/views folder end in .html, for example index.html. This means that the Nunjucks code does not get highlighted properly in a code editor, which can be confusing.
You can now use .njk extension instead of .html. This makes code highlighting work properly for Nunjucks. If you rename any view file from .html to .njk, it should work.
To use .njk for all new view files created from templates, set this in your app/config.json:
{
"serviceName": "Service name goes here",
"useNjkExtensions": true
}
You can also create a new prototype using .njk:
npx govuk-prototype-kit create --use-njk-extensions
Fixes
The process to migrate old prototypes to v13 now handles unbranded prototypes without breaking.

v13.1.0
New features:
