New in v7.3.0
=============

Features
--------

* Added ``-a``, ``--author`` option to set post author field
* Added option INDEXES_PRETTY_PAGE_URL to make URLs for indexes
pages more pretty. (Issue #1548)
* Added ``-i``, ``--import`` argument to ``new_post`` for importing
existing post contents (Issue #1385)
* Added warning about ``password`` in posts being insecure
(Issue #1547)
* INDEXES_TITLE and INDEXES_PAGES are translatable (Issue #1544)
* Added new option ARCHIVES_ARE_INDEXES which allows archive pages
which list posts to be rendered with the post contents.
(Issue #1537)
* Added new option INDEXES_STATIC which allows to define the
page ordering for indexes (Issue #1537). Also, if tag pages are
created as indexes, they will behave more close to the
default indexes.
* Use ``table`` line-numbering style with reST code, making
copy-pasting code possible (Issue #1285)
* Tag and category pages are now more separated. The prefix for
category pages can be changed and the folder can be modified
independently of the tags' folder. (Issue #1535)
* Writing the tag cloud data file can now be disabled. Will be
disabled by default in the future. (Issue #1535)
* The ``utils.config_changed`` function now takes an optional extra
argument, ``identifier``, used to identify the source of a specific
dependency save. As such, ALL your files will be rebuilt after
upgrading. (Issue #1526 via #1521)
* New option GALLERY_FOLDERS replacing GALLERY_PATH (Issue #1511)
* New PANDOC_OPTIONS option (Issue #1492)
* New tab-width option in code-block directive (Issue #1514)
* New option TAG_PAGES_DESCRIPTIONS for optionally making individual
tag pages more unique and interesting (Issue #1486)
* New option LISTINGS_FOLDERS (which replaces LISTINGS_FOLDER) which
allows to separate input and output folder names for listings, and
allows to have more than one listings folder (Issue #1499)
* ReST listing directive now honors alternative listings folder names
(Issue #1499)
* New command line option --conf= to specify the configuration file
(default is conf.py) (Issue #1501)
* Added Arabic translation (by darkwise)
* Added Danish translation (by mikkelkristiansen)
* Added Indonesian translation (by Willy Sudiarto Raharjo)
* Added Korean translation (by Dong Geun)
* Added Serbian translation (by Ivan Radeljic)
* Added Swedish translation (by Johan Sommerfeld)
* New advanced option RSS_LINKS_APPEND_QUERY for tracking traffic
from RSS subscribers
* Add ``robots`` meta tag with value ``noindex`` for drafts
(Issue #1489)
* New option TAGLIST_MINIMUM_POSTS allows hiding unpopular tags from
the tag index page (Issue #1484)
* New options CREATE_FULL_ARCHIVES and CREATE_DAILY_ARCHIVE which
allow to create non-hierarchical archives and archives for days,
respectively (Issue #1494)
* New plugin for creating image thumbnails, and a corresponding reST
plugin (Issue #1527)

Bugfixes

``TranslatableSetting.langformat`` (Issue #1571)

* Fix ANNOTATIONS not working at all (Issue #1477)
* Fix asking questions with Unicode chars in Python 2 (Issue #1476)
* Use ADDITIONAL_METADATA with the two-file format (Issue #1471)
