A new day, a new release! Jekyll just turned 2.5.0 and has gained a lot of
|
||
|
|
wisdom along the way. This 2.5.0 release also comes just a few weeks after
|
||
|
|
Jekyll turned 6 years old! In fashion, we're celebrating this huge
|
||
|
|
milestone with a pretty big release. What's changed in 2.5.0? Here are some
|
||
|
|
highlights:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Require plugins in the `:jekyll_plugins` Gemfile group (turned off with an environment variable)
|
||
|
|
* YAML Front Matter permalinks can now contain placeholders like `:name`. Check out all the placeholders on the [Permalinks docs page](/docs/permalinks/).
|
||
|
|
* The `jsonify` filter now deep-converts arrays to liquid.
|
||
|
|
* Shorted `build` and `serve` commands with `b` and `s` aliases, respectively
|
||
|
|
* WEBrick will now list your directory if it can't find an index file.
|
||
|
|
* Any enumerable can be used with the `where` filter.
|
||
|
|
* Performance optimizations thanks to @tmm1's [stackprof](https://github.com/tmm1/stackprof)
|
||
|
|
* Fix for Rouge's Redcarpet interface
|
||
|
|
* Security auditors will love this: path sanitation has now been centralized.
|
||
|
|
* Specify a log level with `JEKYLL_LOG_LEVEL`: debug, info, warn, or error.

*When was the [first commit to Jekyll](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/commit/d189e05d236769c1e5594af9db4d6eacb86fc16e)?
|
||
|
|
All the way back on October 19, 2008. It features interesting historical
|
||
|
|
tidbits, such as the old name for Jekyll was "autoblog", and was first
|
||
|
|
released via Rubyforge. What a difference 6 years has made!*
