Hello Jekyllers!
|
||
|
||
It's time for yet another release that includes enhancements, optimizations and bug-fixes. Highlights of this release
|
||
are:
|
||
|
||
* Jekyll now supports rendering excerpts for *pages* in addition to documents and posts.
|
||
* The [`where_exp`][where-expression-filter] filter got enhanced. Earlier, one could just use either `and` or `or` once
|
||
per expression. Now, one may use those binary operators multiple times in the filter's expression.
|
||
* Jekyll has a new set of filters based on *its flavor* of the `where` and `where_exp` filters. Named
|
||
[`find`][find-filter] and [`find_exp`][find-expression-filter] filters respectively, they work similar to their ancestors
|
||
except that they return **the first object** that satisfies the given conditions.
|
||
* Jekyll's [`number_of_words`][number-of-words-filter] filter can now take an optional argument to better count words
|
||
of text containing Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters.
|
||
* One may now use `:slugified_categories` in their permalink configurations to generate a more apt URL (categories are
|
||
downcased and non-alphanumeric characters replaced by dashes) for their for posts and documents.
|
||
* The logic for *slugifying* a given string has been enhanced to support more Unicode characters.
|
||
* If you face issues from Jekyll importing a config file bundled within a theme, you can now disable the import entirely
|
||
by setting `ignore_theme_config: true` in your site's configuration file.
|
||
* If you face issues from Jekyll's disk-caching feature, you can now disable the mechanism without opting to build in
|
||
`safe` mode, by either setting `disable_disk_cache: true` in your configuration file or by passing the CLI switch
|
||
`--disable-disk-cache` to `jekyll build` or `jekyll serve` commands.
|
||
* When you build a site with the `--profile` switch, Jekyll will now additionally output a small table showing the amount
|
||
of time taken during various stages of the *build process*.
|
||
* Jekyll's development server now supports certificates based on Elliptic-curve cryptography.
|
||
|
||
For the interest of plugin authors:
|
||
* Excerpts won't be generated for `Jekyll::Page` subclasses automatically unless such instances have an `excerpt` key in
|
||
their `data` hash.
|
||
|
||
For the interest of gem-based theme authors:
|
||
* From `v4.1.0` onwards, a newly generated theme workspace (via `jekyll new-theme ...`) will have the gemspec configured
|
||
to bundle a `_config.yml` at the root of the workspace. If you don't wish to include the configuration file in the
|
||
released gem, please remove `|_config\.yml` from the regular expression in the gemspec.
