## Unreleased version
2020-08-23 10:31:44 +02:00
One of the major changes in this version is that a lot of time was spent on rethinking the entire SEO and social media sharing model (how a page looks on eg. Google, Twitter, Facebok). It was redesigned to be more simple and customizable. The new documentation has a section dedicated to SEO and social media sharing of a page. Unfortunately some changes had to be made that are not backwards-compatible.
- **BREAKING CHANGE** Renamed `description` YAML option to `share-description` to be more clear
2020-08-23 10:32:56 +02:00
- **BREAKING CHANGE** Renamed `description` config parameter to `rss-description` since it was only used in RSS (the FAQ in the README explains the difference between YAML options and config parameters if you're confused!)
2020-08-23 10:31:44 +02:00
- **BREAKING CHANGE** Removed YAML option `use-site-title` (you can now specify the exact title using `share-title`)
- **BREAKING CHANGE** Removed undocumented YAML options `meta-title` and `meta-description`
2020-08-24 00:19:15 +02:00
- **BREAKING CHANGE** Removed `link-tags` config parameter because it wasn't necessary. If you use tags, there will be a tags page created; if you don't use tags there is no tags page.
- Added `share-title` YAML option to give control over the search engine/social media title
- Added `head-extra` YAML option which is similar to `footer-extra` but is used to include custom HTML code in a page's `<head>` tag
2020-08-23 21:23:14 +02:00
- Added `full-width` YAML option to allow having full-width pages
- Added automatic navbar color detection (#702)
2020-08-23 21:23:14 +02:00
- Changed navbar and footer background colour to be slightly darker, for better contrast with the default white page background
- Changed the behaviour of `site-css` to include site-wide CSS file **before** page-specific files
- Renamed internal css/js files from "main" to "beautifuljekyll" to make it easier for users to troubleshoot
2020-08-24 00:22:46 +02:00
- Added alt text to all images for better accessibility
2020-08-09 03:47:38 +02:00
2020-08-21 08:51:27 +02:00
## v4.1.0 (2020-08-08)
2020-08-08 03:22:56 +02:00
- Added Open Graph `site_name` meta field to pages automatically
- Added `text-col `config setting for main text color (#694)
- Added `keywords` config setting to set the meta keywords on all pages (for SEO purposes) (#691)
- Added `mobile-theme-col` config setting to allow a mobile theme colour (#692)
- Added `site-css` config setting in the config file to provide CSS files that are used on all pages in the site (#695)
- Added YAML option `description`: creates the meta description on a page, intended to provide a brief description of the page for search engines and when the page is shared (#690)
2020-08-08 03:22:56 +02:00
2020-08-21 08:51:27 +02:00

2020-07-07 07:25:57 +02:00
- **BREAKING CHANGE** Replace `image` YAML parameter with `thumbnail-img` to be more clear
2020-08-09 02:13:28 +02:00
- **MAJOR BEHAVIOUR CHANGE** Don't use the thumbnail as the avatar image
2020-07-07 07:25:57 +02:00
- Cover image will automatically be used as thumbnail if none is provided
- Image to share on social media will use the cover image or thumbnail if none is provided
- All images (social media share, thumbnail, cover) can use either relative or absoluate paths.
- Fixed issue where if a dropdown menu was the last item in the menu bar, it did not have a proper margin on the right
- Added social network links: Mastodon (#646), Google Scholar, ORCID (#670)

2020-05-02 10:07:29 +02:00
- **BREAKING CHANGE** Upgraded from Bootstrap 3.3.2 to 4.4.1. This involved a major rewrite of most components. This shouldn't affect any users unless you have custom HTML/CSS code which the new Bootstrap could have broken.
2020-07-07 07:25:57 +02:00
- **BREAKING CHANGE** Renamed `bigimg` YAML parameter to `cover-img`
- **BREAKING CHANGE** Removed `googlefonts` YAML parameter since googlefonts are just CSS so they can be loaded via `ext-css`
- **BREAKING CHANGE** Upgraded from jQuery 1.11.2 to 3.4.2. This should not affect most people
- Added `navbar-border-col` setting in the config file
- Added accessibility features where possible
2020-07-07 07:25:57 +02:00
- Made the theme completely responsive by rewriting all CSS to use 'rem' instead of 'px'
- Rewrote and simplified some JavaScript code to use CSS or Bootstrap alternatives that weren't available in 2015
- Removed most of the sample posts so that users only have two sample posts to learn from
2020-07-07 07:25:57 +02:00
- Improvements to the README instructions
2020-08-21 08:51:27 +02:00
