This latest release of Jekyll includes a slew of enhancements and bug
fixes. Some of the highlights:
* Pages, Posts, and Drafts can now be converted by multiple converters.
* Sass files can once again be rendered by Liquid. However, neither Sass
nor CoffeeScript can ever have a layout.
* Partial variables allowed now in the path argument of `include` calls
* We added a `jekyll help` command. Pass it a subcommand to see more info
about that subcommand. Or don't, to see the help for `jekyll` itself.
* Lots of fixes to the site template we use for `jekyll new`, including
converting the CSS into SCSS.
* Fix for static files in collections (e.g. images)
* The `jsonify` filter will now call `#to_liquid` for you
* Lots, lots more!
One change deserves special note. In [#2633][], subfolders *inside* a
`_posts` folder were processed and added as categories to the posts. It
turns out, this behaviour was unwanted by a large number of individuals, as
it is a handy way to organize posts. Ultimately, we decided to revert this
change in [#2705][], because it was a change in behaviour that was already
well-established (at least since Jekyll v0.7.0), and was convenient.
