Indie Web Server 8.2.0: Cascading archives for an evergreen web

Cascading archives for an evergreen web. I just released version 8.2.0 of Indie Web Server. This version brings with it a cascading archives feature to make it easier than ever for you to support an evergreen web and not break existing links as you evolve your sites. Easier than the 404 to 302 technique for static archives Indie Web Server already had native support for the 404 → 302 technique where you convert 404s into 302 redirects to earlier versions of your site, thereby preserving those links.
