Hello Jekyllers!
|
|
|
|
Jekyll 4.2.2 has been released. Unlike prior releases, this is a simple maintenance release and may be skipped.
|
|
|
|
For those who are still curious about the current release, here is some technical context: The previous `jekyll-4.2.1` package was built and
|
|
published using a Windows system. A side-effect of that action was that every file bundled into the gem ended up with Windows-style CRLF
|
|
line-endings instead of Unix-style LF line-endings.
|
|
|
|
For our end-users, this difference holds no significance. However, a third-party entity vendoring the release faced a roadblock. The executable
|
|
program `jekyll` apparently misplaced the executable bit because of the change in line-endings.
|
|
|
|
To that end, the Jekyll team decided to use the GitHub Actions service to build and publish releases. In-house plugins have already published
|
|
releases via this route serving as trials. Henceforth, and unless explicitly reported, all Jekyll releases will be built on GitHub Actions'
|
|
Ubuntu platform and published to Rubygems by @jekyllbot irrespective of the maintainer overseeing the release.
|
|
|
|
That is all for now.
|
|
Happy Jekyllin'!!

*P.S.: Jekyll 4.3.0 will be bringing you some new features very soon.. Also, our sass-converter plugin has been [enhanced][sass-220] to support
|
|
modern improvements to Sass.*
