# Upgrading my website to Astro v1.0
So, Astro came out with some beta versions of their v1.0 release of the framework. I upgraded my website to use that version, since I was still running on v0.24 (2 or 3 months behind). The following are the changes I had to do to get it working.
## New Markdown API
### `Astro.glob()` vs. `Astro.fetchContent()`
Astro has replaced the 'old' `Astro.fetchContent()` with a newer version called `Astro.glob()`.
This is what the older API looked like:
```astro
---
const blogposts = Astro.fetchContent("*.md");
---
{
blogposts.map((blogpost) => {
return - {blogpost.title}
;
})
}
```
In my eyes the new API looks way better and is more developer friendly since it uses `await`, which also means, you can use `.then()` & `.catch()`.
Here is what it looks like:
```astro
---
const blogposts = await Astro.glob("*.md");
---
{
blogposts.map((blogpost) => {
return - {blogpost.frontmatter.title}
;
})
}
```
An example of what the `.then()` use, could look like:
```astro
---
const blogposts = await Astro.glob("./**/*.md").then((posts) =>
posts.sort(
(a, b) =>
new Date(b.frontmatter.createdAt) - new Date(a.frontmatter.createdAt),
),
);
---
```
### Frontmatter and variables
Did you notice in the above example that I used `blogpost.frontmatter.title`?
Yup, that's an example of the new Markdown API.
The new API gives you access to the frontmatter as a whole with variables as an object.
