Yay!!! + +Under the hood, Jekyll has undergone many minor changes that will allow it to run more performantly in the coming years. :smiley: +Rest assured, our users should see minor improvements in their site's build times. + +Speaking of improvements, users running a site containing a huge amount of posts or those who like to use our `where` filter +frequently in a single template, are going to see a massive reduction in their total build times!! :tada: + +Hold on, this version is not just about optimizations, there are some new features as well..: + * Detect non-existent variables and filters specified in a template by enabling `strict_variables` and `strict_filters` under the + `liquid` key in your config file. + * Allow *date filters* to output ordinal days. + * `jekyll doctor` now warns you if you have opted for custom `collections_dir` but placed `_posts` directory outside that + directory. + +..and yes, a couple of bug-fixes, notably: + * Jekyll now handles future-dated documents properly. + * Jekyll is able to handle Liquid blocks intelligently in excerpts. + * A few methods that were *not meant to be publically accessible* have been entombed properly. + * A few bugs that still plagued our `collections_dir` feature from `v3.7` got crushed. + +As always, the full list of changes since last release can be viewed [here](/docs/history/#v3-8-0). + +A big thanks to the following people who contributed to our repository with pull-requests that improved our codebase, documentation +and tests: + +Ana María Martínez Gómez, Antonio Argote, Ashwin Maroli, Awjin Ahn, Ben Balter, Benjamin Høegh, Christian Oliff, Damien Solodow, +David Zhang, Delson Lima, Eric Cornelissen, Florian Thomas, Frank Taillandier, Heinrich Hartmann, Jakob Vad Nielsen, John Eismeier, +Kacper Duras, KajMagnus, Mario Cekic, Max Vilimpoc, Michael H, Mike Kasberg, Parker Moore, Pat Hawks, Paweł Kuna, Robert Riemann, +Roger Rohrbach, Semen Zhydenko, Stefan Dellmuth, Tim Carry, olivia, and steelman. + +Happy Jekylling!! :sparkles:
