It's been about six weeks since v1.2.0 and the Jekyll team is happy to
|
|
announce the arrival of v1.3.0. This is a **huge** release full of all
|
|
sorts of new features, bug fixes, and other things that you're sure to
|
|
love.
|
|
|
|
Here are a few things we think you'll want to know about this release:
|
|
|
|
* You can add [arbitrary data][] to the site by adding YAML files under a
|
|
site's `_data` directory. This will allow you to avoid
|
|
repetition in your templates and to set site specific options without
|
|
changing `_config.yml`.
|
|
|
|
* You can now run `jekyll serve --detach` to boot up a WEBrick server in the
|
|
background. **Note:** you'll need to run `kill [server_pid]` to shut
|
|
the server down. When ran, you'll get a process id that you can use in
|
|
place of `[server_pid]`
|
|
|
|
* You can now **disable automatically-generated excerpts** if you set
|
|
`excerpt_separator` to `""`.
|
|
|
|
* If you're moving pages and posts, you can now check for **URL
|
|
conflicts** by running `jekyll doctor`.
|
|
|
|
* If you're a fan of the drafts feature, you'll be happy to know we've
|
|
added `-D`, a shortened version of `--drafts`.
|
|
|
|
* Permalinks with special characters should now generate without errors.
|
|
|
|
* Expose the current Jekyll version as the `jekyll.version` Liquid
|
|
variable.
