|
## v5.0.0 (2020-09-15)
|
|
|
|
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 that are not backwards-compatible had to be made.
|
|
|
|
#### Breaking changes
|
|
|
|
- Renamed `description` YAML parameter to `share-description` to be more clear
|
|
- Renamed `description` config setting to `rss-description` since it was only used in RSS (the FAQ explains the difference between YAML parameters and config settings if you're confused)
|
|
- Removed YAML parameter `use-site-title` (you can now specify the exact title using `share-title`)
|
|
- Removed undocumented YAML parameters `meta-title` and `meta-description`
|
|
- Removed `link-tags` config setting because it wasn't necessary. If you use tags, there will now always be a tags page created; if you don't use tags there won't be a tags page.
|
|
- The YAML parameter `show-avatar` is now true by default. This has always been the case for GitHub Pages users, but not for `remote_theme` users. For consistency, it's now the default for everyone. (#715)
|
|
|
|
#### New parameters and settings
|
|
|
|
- Added `full-width` YAML parameter to allow having full-width pages
|
|
- Added `feed_show_excerpt` config setting to show/hide the post excerpts on the feed page
|
|
- Added `feed_show_tags` config setting to show/hide the list of tags on post previews on the feed page
|
|
- Added `share-title` YAML parameter to give control over the search engine/social media title
|
|
- Added `last-updated` YAML parameter to show a "Last Updated on" date for blog posts
|
|
- Added `before-content` and `after-content` YAML parameters that allow you to add some common HTML before the main content of a page (below the title) or after the main content (above the footer). Works in a similar way to `footer-extra`.
|
|
- Added `head-extra` YAML parameter which is similar to `footer-extra` but is used to include custom HTML code in a page's `<head>` tag
|
|
- Added `site-js` config setting to provide JavaScript files that are used on all pages in the site
|
|
|
|
#### New features and improvements
|
|
|
|
- Improved the `footer-extra` YAML parameter to support multiple files instead of only a single file
|
|
- Added automatic navbar color detection (#702)
|
|
- When `nav-short` is turned on, the avatar will also be shorter
|
|
- Changed navbar and footer background colour to be slightly darker, for better contrast with the default white page background for accessibility reasons
|
|
- Changed the behaviour of `site-css` to include site-wide CSS file **before** instead of after page-specific files
|
|
- Renamed internal css/js files from "main" to "beautifuljekyll" to make it easier for users to troubleshoot
|
|
- Added alt text to all images for better accessibility
|
|
- Made thumbnail images square instead of circles, as users reported that circles cut off important parts of images
|
|
|
|
#### Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
- Fixed rendering issues with `nav-short` parameter that caused the body of the page to start too low
|
|
- Fixed some CSS styles that broke during the bootstrap 4 migration (#716)
|
|
|
|
#### Library upgrades
|
|
|
|
- Upgraded kramdown to version 2.3.0 to fix security issues
|
|
- Upgraded jQuery to version 3.5.1 to fix a couple security vulnerabilities with the previous version
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
- **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`
