Aloha Jekyllers!! :wave:
|
|
|
|
After months of toiling on the codebase and shipping a couple of release-candidates, the Jekyll Team is delighted to finally
|
|
present `v3.8.0`, packed with optimizations, improvements, some new features and a couple of bug-fixes. 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).
