Greetings Jekyllers, Jekyll v4.4.0 has been published!
This release comes with the following notable changes since v4.3.x:
* Liquid tag `highlight` now allows marking specific lines in the code-block.
* Allow customizing the port that the vendored livereload script listens to, either via command-line flag
`--livereload-port NUM` or via setting desired value to key `livereload_port` in configuration file.
* Acknowledge paths passed to CLI flag `--livereload-ignore` or list of paths defined under configuration key
`livereload_ignore` in order prevent automatic browser-refreshes on change to those paths.
* Support for Ruby versions older than Ruby 2.7.0 has been dropped. Regardless, we recommend using Ruby 3.2.0 or newer
to reduce inconveniences with installing newer versions of various plugins for Jekyll.
* In order to improve the out-of-the-box experience with newer versions of Ruby, we have added gems `base64`, `csv` as
runtime-dependencies. Consequently, those gems will be automatically installed with Jekyll and made available for use
on issuing `bundle exec jekyll <command>`. *Users on older versions of Jekyll will have to manually add the gems to
their Gemfile to resolve dependency errors*.
* Gem `json` has been added as a runtime-dependency as well to provide consistent behavior across different platforms and
different Ruby versions.
* Version constraint on `mercenary` gem has been relaxed to automatically allow future releases.
