||
On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate | ||
availability of Nikola v7.8.7. This is a part-emergency bugfix, | ||
part-world domination release. | ||
|
||
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 (IPython) 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`` or download tarballs on `GitHub`__ and `PyPI`__. | ||

|
||
Changes | ||
======= | ||
|
||
In an effort to improve interoperability with other static site | ||
generators, make importing data easier, and help with world | ||
domination, Nikola v7.8.7 ships with support for the following | ||
metadata formats: | ||
|
||
* reST-style comments (``.. name: value`` — default format) | ||
* Two-file format (reST-style comments or 7-line) | ||
* Jupyter Notebook metadata | ||
* YAML, between ``---`` (Jekyll, Hugo) | ||
* TOML, between ``+++`` (Hugo) | ||
* reST docinfo (Pelican) | ||
* Markdown metadata extension (Pelican) | ||
|
||
In addition, Markdown is now enabled and required by default. | ||
More details: https://getnikola.com/handbook.html#metadata-formats | ||
|
||
The release also fixes two important bugs, one that crashes when | ||
trying to detect locale in some edge cases, and another which made | ||
some themes quietly leak template files. If you’re using a | ||
Jinja2-based theme that does not have its own ``parent`` file, please | ||
force a rebuild (``nikola build -a``). | ||
|
||
Features | ||
-------- | ||
|
||
* Enable markdown by default (part of Issue #2809) | ||
* Allowing to register filters from plugins, and allowing to specify default | ||
filters as strings of the form ``filters.<name>`` (part of Issue #2475) | ||
* Support ignoring assets via ``ignore_assets`` theme meta field | ||
(Issue #2812) | ||
* Ignore unused Colorbox locales (Issue #2812) | ||
* Accept tag metadata as lists for YAML/TOML (Issue #2801) | ||
* Support for mapping metadata from other formats to Nikola names | ||
using the ``METADATA_MAPPING`` setting (Issue #2817) | ||
* Support for reStructured text docinfo metadata with | ||
``USE_REST_DOCINFO_METADATA`` option, defaulting to False (Issue #1923) | ||
* New ``HIDE_REST_DOCINFO`` option, defaulting to False. | ||
* Support for Markdown Metadata for Pelican compatibility by adding | ||
``'markdown.extensions.meta'`` to ``MARKDOWN_EXTENSIONS`` (Issue #1923) | ||
* Support for YAML and TOML metadata (Issue #2801) | ||
|
||
Bugfixes | ||
-------- | ||
|
||
* Use inheritance tree when looking for theme engine (Issue #2816) | ||
* Fix unbound variable error in locale guessing (Issue #2806) |
