Raw Blame History

Unreleased version

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
  • 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!)
  • 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
  • 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
  • Added full-width YAML option to allow having full-width pages
  • Upgraded jQuery to version 3.5.1 to fix a couple security vulnerabilities with the previous version
  • Added automatic navbar color detection (#702)
  • 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
  • Added alt text to all images for better accessibility

v4.1.0 (2020-08-08)

  • 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)

v4.0.1 (2020-07-13)

  • Fixed staticman comments UI that was broken since the migration to bootstrap 4

v4.0.0 (2020-07-12)

  • BREAKING CHANGE Replace image YAML parameter with thumbnail-img to be more clear
  • MAJOR BEHAVIOUR CHANGE Don't use the thumbnail as the avatar image
  • 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)
  • Added support for sharing pages on new social network: VK (#657)
  • Use Open Graph type 'article' for blog posts (#669)
  • Use Twitter's large sumary card (large image) when there is a cover image, thumbnail image, or share image specified (#668)
  • Made post images in the feed page smaller on smaller devices
  • Fixed jQuery version in staticman (#671)

v3.0.0 (2020-05-07)

  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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
  • Improvements to the README instructions
