|
||
| On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate | ||
| availability of Nikola v8.0.0. After 15 months in development, we’ve | ||
| created our best release ever, with new features, many bugs squashed, | ||
| and some improvements under the hood. | ||
|
|
||
| What is Nikola? | ||
| =============== | ||
|
|
||
| Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python. | ||
| It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup | ||
| formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn | ||
| Jupyter Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image galleries, | ||
| and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds are extremely | ||
| fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what has been changed). | ||
|
|
||
| Find out more at the website: https://getnikola.com/ | ||
|
|
||
| Downloads | ||
| ========= | ||
|
|
||
| Install using ``pip install Nikola==8.0.0``. | ||
|
|
||
| If you want to upgrade to Nikola v8, make sure to read `the Upgrading blog post <https://getnikola.com/blog/upgrading-to-nikola-v8.html>`_. | ||
|
|
||
| Changes | ||
| ======= | ||
|
|
||
| Important compatibility changes | ||
| ------------------------------- | ||
|
|
||
| * Rename ``crumbs.tmpl`` to ``ui_helper.tmpl`` and the breadcrumbs | ||
| ``bar`` function to ``breadcrumbs`` (your templates may need | ||
| changing as well) | ||
| * Rename ``post.is_mathjax`` to ``post.has_math``. Themes using | ||
| ``post.is_mathjax`` must be updated; it is recommended that they are | ||
| changed to use ``math_helper.tmpl``. | ||
| * Reading reST docinfo metadata, including first heading as title, | ||
| requires ``USE_REST_DOCINFO_METADATA`` now (Issue #2987) | ||
| * RSS feeds might have changed their places due to ``RSS_PATH`` | ||
| behavior changes (you may need to change ``RSS_PATH``, | ||
| ``RSS_FILENAME_BASE``) | ||
| * Atom feeds for archives and Atom pagination are no longer supported | ||
| (Issue #3016) | ||
| * Sections are replaced by categories (Issue #2833) | ||
| * You need ``<a class="reference">`` (instead of ``image-reference``) | ||
| to activate the lightbox now | ||
| * Date formatting now uses the Babel library, you might need to | ||
| change ``BABEL_FORMAT`` (Issues #2606, 3121) | ||
| * The first heading in a reST document is not removed anymore by | ||
| default unless ``USE_REST_DOCINFO_METADATA`` is enabled | ||
| (Issues #2382, #3124) | ||
|
|
||
| Features | ||
| -------- | ||
|
|
||

| * Add Vietnamese translation by Hoai-Thu Vuong | ||
| * Don’t generate gallery index if the destination directory is | ||
| site root and it would conflict with blog index (Issue #3133) | ||
| * All built-in themes now support ``updated`` timestamp fields in | ||
| posts. The update time, if it is specified and different from | ||
| the posting time, will be displayed as | ||
| "{postDate} (${messages("updated")} {updateDate})". If no update | ||
| time is specified, the posting time will be displayed alone. | ||

| can support newlines inside entries as well as comments | ||
