Jekyll 3.2.1 Released with Fix for Windows

Well, 3.2.0 has been a success, but with one fatal flaw: it doesn’t work on Windows! Sorry, Windows users. Hot on the trail of 3.2.0, this release should squash that :bug:. Sorry about that!

This release also fixes an issue when using gem-based themes where the theme was rejected if it existed behind a symlink. This is a common setup for the various ruby version managers, and for Ruby installed via Homebrew. Props to @benbalter for fixing that up.

Thanks to the contributors for this release: Adam Petrie, Ben Balter, Daniel Chapman, DirtyF, Gary Ewan Park, Jordon Bedwell, and Parker Moore.

As always, you can see our full changelog on the History page.

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll turns 3.2

Happy Day! Jekyll v3.2.0 is out, and packed full of goodies.

Our flagship feature for this release has been themes. Themes?!, you say? Yes, proper, versionable, releasable, first-class themes. We’re pretty stoked about it and we hope you like building and using them. For now, it only supports layouts, includes, and sass, but we have plans to include static assets like images and CSS/JS in a future release. Read more about it in the docs. Our site template generated by jekyll new now dogfoods this feature, using the minima theme.

Some other notable changes:

  • Symlinks are allowed as long as they target a file in the site source
  • Explicit support for Ruby 2.0.x was dropped
  • Added an :after_init Hook
  • Added a where_exp filter to provide more powerful filtering
  • Added a link liquid tag which can be used to generate URL’s for any post or document based on its path relative to the site source
  • … and lots more!

As always, there is a full list of changes for your perusal.

Every release is made possible by the countless hours of hard work that our fellow community members put into sending patches, filing thoughtful patches, and so on. These release took the work of over 80 people:

Jekyll's Google Summer of Code Project: The CMS You Always Wanted

This year, Jekyll applied to be a part of Google Summer of Code. Students were able to propose any project related to Jekyll. With a gracious sponsorship from GitHub and the participation of myself, @benbalter and @jldec, Jekyll was able to accept two students for the 2016 season, @mertkahyaoglu and @rush-skills.

These students are working on a project that fills a huge need for the community: a graphical solution for managing your site’s content. Current plans include a fully-integrated admin which spins up when you run jekyll serve and provides a friendly web interface for creating and editing your content. The server and web interface will speak a common HTTP interface so either piece could be switched out for, e.g. a server which writes directly to a repository on GitHub.

The strength of text files as the storage medium for content has been part of Jekyll’s success. Our homepage lauds the absence of a traditional SQL database when using Jekyll – your content should be what demands your time, not pesky database downtime. Unfortunately, understanding of the structure of a Jekyll site takes some work, enough that for some users, it’s prohibitive to using Jekyll to accomplish their publishing goals.

Mert and Ankur both applied to take on this challenge and agreed to split the project, one taking on the web interface and the other taking on the backend. We’re very excited to see a fully-functional CMS for Jekyll at the end of the summer produced by these excellent community members, and we hope you’ll join us in cheering them on and sharing our gratitude for all their hard work.

Thanks, as always, for being part of such a wonderful community that made this all possible. I’m honored to work with each of you to create something folks all around the globe find a joy to use. I look forward to our continued work to move Jekyll forward.

As always, Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 3.1.6 Released

Upon releasing 3.1.5 and kicking the tires, we noticed a glaring bug: our beloved jsonify filter doesn’t work! With that, our work was cut out for us and we decided a 3.1.6 was necessary. This release restores sanity to our object-to-JSON generation in Liquid and we hope you enjoy.

For the gory details, see the pull request or the changelog.

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 3.1.4 "Stability Sam" Released

Hey Jekyllites!

Today, we released v3.1.4 in an effort to bring more stability to the v3.1.x series. This bugfix release consists of:

  • A fix for layout in Liquid where values would carry over from one document to the next
  • A fix for layout in Liquid where a parent layout (e.g. default or base) would overwrite the metadata of the child layout (e.g. post or special).
  • A fix where page.excerpt referencing its excerpt would cause an infinite loop of recursive horror.
  • We added Configuration.from and the great permalink fix from v3.0.4 to the v3.1.x series
  • site.collections in Liquid is now sorted alphabetically by label, so docs shows up before posts reliably.

The fixes for layout may not be seamless for everyone, but we believe they will be the “right thing to do” going forward.

We are alwawys striving to make Jekyll more straight-forward to use. Please do open an issue if you believe an aspect of Jekyll’s user experience isn’t up to par.

For a full history of our changes, see the changelog.

As always, Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 3.0.5 Released

This version fixes a bug affecting only v3.0.4 where autoregeneration was always disabled when running Jekyll locally. This feature is a huge reason why Jekyll (or any static site generator, for that matter) is a joy to use. Sorry for the regression!

If you’re using GitHub Pages, you can follow the progress of the upgrade on the github/pages-gem repo.

As always, our history doc has links to the pull requests and issues associated with the release for your perusal.

We’re looking forward to the upcoming release of v3.2 which has some excellent goodies we think you’ll love.

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 3.1.3 Released

v3.1.3 is a patch release which fixes the follow two issues:

  • Front matter defaults may not have worked for collection documents and posts due to a problem where they were looked up by their URL rather than their path relative to the site source
  • Running jekyll serve with SSL enabled was broken due to a bad configuration.

Both of these issues have been resolved. For more information, check out the full history.

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 3.0.4 Released

v3.0.4 is a patch release which fixes the follow two issues:

  • Front matter defaults may not have worked for collection documents and posts due to a problem where they were looked up by their URL rather than their path relative to the site source
  • Configuration for the posts permalink might be borked when a user specified a value for collections.posts.permalink directly. This forced the use of permalink at the top level, which also affected pages. To configure a permalink just for posts, you can do so with:
collections:
  posts:
    output: true
    permalink: /blog/:year/:title/

Both of these issues have been resolved. For more information, check out the full history.

Happy Jekylling!

Making it easier to contribute to Jekyll

Jekyll is an open source project, built one contribution at a time by community members just like you. These community contributions can come in many forms beyond just writing code, from reporting an issue or suggesting a new feature to improving documentation or providing feedback on proposed changes.

If you’ve been looking to get involved with the Jekyll community, but didn’t know, we’ve recently made it easier to contribute to Jekyll in two ways:

First, we’ve completely rewritten the project’s contributing guidelines, outlining the various ways you can contribute, and including better instructions for submitting proposed changes via GitHub.com or for submitting your first code improvement. And if you have any feedback, we’d love to hear it! Simply click the “improve this page” button in the top right corner of the contributing documentation.

Second, this week, we created six community interest groups, we’re calling Jekyll affinity teams. If you’re interested in a particular aspect of the project (or just want to learn more), you can join any one of these teams (or two, or three), to participate in discussions about potential bugs and proposed improvements. And the best part is there’s no commitment. If you just want to listen, or if at any point you want to leave (or switch teams), that’s totally fine. We won’t say a thing. To learn more about the various affinity teams, or to join one (please do!), just head on over to teams.jekyllrb.com.

We hope these changes will make it easier for you to make your first (or second, or third) contribution to Jekyll today. Thanks for helping to make Jekyll awesome!

Jekyll 3.1.2 Released!

Happy Friday from sunny California! Today, we’re excited to announce the release of Jekyll v3.1.2, which comes with some crucial bug fixes:

  • If a syntax error is encountered by Liquid, it will now print the line number.
  • A nasty war between symbols and strings in our configuration hash caused kramdown syntax highlighting to break. That has been resolved; you stand victorious!
  • A tilde at the beginning of a filename will no longer crash Jekyll.
  • The titleize filter mistakenly dropped words that were already capitalized. Fixed!
  • Permalinks which end in a slash will now always output as a folder with an index.html inside.

Nitty-gritty details, like always, are available in the history.

Thanks to those who contributed to this release: Alfred Xing, atomicules, bojanland, Brenton Horne, Carlos Garcés, Cash Costello, Chris, chrisfinazzo, Daniel Schildt, Dean Attali, Florian Thomas, Jordon Bedwell, Juuso Mikkonen, Katya Demidova, lonnen, Manabu Sakai, Michael Lee, Michael Lyons, Mitesh Shah, Nicolas Hoizey, Parker Moore, Pat Hawks, Prayag Verma, Robert Martin, Suriyaa Kudo, and toshi.

Jekyll 3.0.3 Released

GitHub Pages upgraded to Jekyll 3.0.2 last week. With a testbed of over a million sites, this really put Jekyll 3 through the wringer. This release addresses a handful of bugs that were surfaced as a result. The fixes:

  • Fix problem where outputting to a folder would have two extensions
  • Handle tildes (~) in filenames properly
  • Fix issue when comparing documents without dates
  • Include line numbers in liquid error output

Read more on the changelog with links to the related patches.

Please keep submitting bugs as you find them! Please do take a look in our various help resources before filing a bug and use our forum for asking questions and getting help on a specific problem you’re having.

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 3.1.1 Released

This release squashes a few bugs :bug: :bug: :bug: noticed by a few wonderful Jekyll users:

  • If your permalink ended with a /, your URL didn’t have any extension, even if you wanted one
  • We now strip the BOM by default per Ruby’s IO.open.
  • page.dir will not always end in a slash.

We also updated our Code of Conduct to the latest version of the Contributor Covenant. The update includes language to ensure that the reporter of the incident remains confidential to non-maintainers and that all complaints will result in an appropriate response. I care deeply about Jekyll’s community and will do everything in my power to ensure it is a welcoming community. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you feel there is a way we can improve the community for everyone! If you’re interested in more details, there is a diff for that.

See links to the PR’s on the history page.

Thanks to Jordon Bedwell, chrisfinazzo, Kroum Tzanev, David Celis, and Alfred Xing for their commits on this latest release! :sparkles:

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 3.1.0 Released

Happy weekend! To make your weekend all the better, we have just released v3.1.0 of Jekyll.

There are lots of great performance improvements, including a huge one which is to use Liquid drops instead of hashes. Much of the slowness in Jekyll is due to Jekyll making lots of objects it doesn’t need to make. By making these objects only as they’re needed, we can speed up Jekyll considerably!

Some other highlights:

  • Fix: permalinks with non-HTML extensions will not be honored
  • Fix: jekyll clean now accepts build flags like --source.
  • Enhancement: include tags can now accept multiple liquid variables
  • Feature: adds new sample liquid tag which gets random element from an array
  • Fix: Jekyll will read in files with YAML front matter that has extraneous spaces after the first line
  • Enhancement: extract the title attribute from the filename for collection items without a date
  • Fix: gracefully handle empty configuration files

… and a whole bunch more!

Please file a bug if you encounter any issues! As always, Jekyll Talk is the best place to get help if you’re encountering a problem.

Special thanks to all our amazing contributors who helped make v3.1.0 a possibility:

Alex J Best, Alexander Köplinger, Alfred Xing, Alistair Calder, Atul Bhosale, Ben Orenstein, Chi Trung Nguyen, Conor O’Callaghan, Craig P. Motlin, Dan K, David Burela, David Litvak Bruno, Decider UI, Ducksan Cho, Florian Thomas, James Wen, Jordon Bedwell, Joseph Wynn, Kakoma, Liam Bowers, Mike Neumegen, Nick Quaranto, Nielsen Ramon, Olivér Falvai, Pat Hawks, Paul Robert Lloyd, Pedro Euko, Peter Suschlik, Sam Volin, Samuel Wright, Sasha Friedenberg, Tim Cuthbertson, Vincent Wochnik, William Entriken, Zshawn Syed, chrisfinazzo, ducksan cho, leethomas, midnightSuyama, musoke, and rebornix

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 3.0.2 Released

A crucial bug was found in v3.0.1 which caused invalid post dates to go unnoticed in the build chain until the error that popped up was unhelpful. v3.0.2 throws errors as you’d expect when there is a post like _posts/2016-22-01-future.md or a post has an invalid date like date: "tuesday" in their front matter.

This should make the experience of working with Jekyll just a little better.

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 3.0.1 Released

Hey, folks! Bunch of bug fixes here. Notables:

  • Only superdirectories of _posts will be categories.
  • :title in permalink templates are now properly cased as before
  • .jekyll-metadata being erroneously written when not using incremental build.
  • Failure in liquid will now always fail the jekyll process.
  • All hooks should now be properly registered & documented

And a bunch more changes which you can see over in the changelog.

Thanks to the 17 developers who contributed code and documentation to this patch release: Alfred Xing, Christian Trosell, Jordan Thornquest, Jordon Bedwell, Larry Fox, Lawrence Murray, Lewis Cowles, Matt Rogers, Nicole White, Parker Moore, Paul Robert Lloyd, Sarah Kuehnle, Vincent Wochnik, Will Norris, XhmikosR, chrisfinazzo, and rebornix.

Jekyll 3.0 Released

The much-anticipated Jekyll 3.0 has been released! Key changes:

  • Incremental regeneration (experimental, enable with --incremental)
  • Liquid profiler (add --profile to a build or serve)
  • Hook plugin API (no more monkey-patching!)
  • Dependencies reduced from 14 to 8, none contain C extensions. We’re hoping to reduce this even more in the future.
  • Changed version support: no support for Ruby 1.9.3, added basic JRuby support. Better Windows support.
  • Extension-less URLs
  • site.collections is an array of collections, thus:
    • collection[0] becomes collection.label
    • collection[1] becomes collection
  • Default highlighter is now Rouge instead of Pygments
  • Lots of performance improvements
  • … and lots more!

We also added a Code of Conduct to encourage a happier, nicer community where contributions and discussion is protected from negative behaviour.

A huge shout-out to the amazing Jekyll Core Team members Jordon Bedwell, Alfred Xing, and Matt Rogers for all their hard work in making Jekyll 3 the best release yet.

We also added Jekyll Talk, managed solely by Jordon, which offers a modern forum experience for Jekyllers across the globe to talk and learn about Jekyll!

As always, check out the full history for more details.

If you think there’s room for improvement in the UX, also do let us know. We’re always looking to make Jekyll easier to use!

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll Meet & Greet at GitHub HQ

Hey! Our friends at GitHub have agreed to host a Jekyll meet & greet on February 5, 2015 at 7pm. The event will be hosted at GitHub’s Headquarters here in San Francisco, CA. Pizza & beer will be available for those interested, and there will be much time to sit and chat about all things Jekyll. This would be an especially good time to get help with bugs you’ve encountered or to talk over a potential feature with the core team in attendance.

A special thanks to @gjtorikian for making this all possible! You rock.

We look forward to meeting all you fine folks. Cheers!

Alfred Xing has joined the Jekyll core team

We’re excited to announce that @alfredxing has joined the @jekyll/core team!

He hails from Vancouver, BC, Canada, where he is studying Economics and Computer Science at the University of British Columbia. Alfred popped up in the issues a few months ago with terrific insights, focus, and humility. Performance buffs may be pleased to hear incremental regeneration will be released in a future version of Jekyll – a significant piece of the feature written by Alfred.

Please join me in welcoming Alfred to the Jekyll core team. We’re excited he’s agreed to lend his talents to this project. The future is an exciting place!

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 2.5.2 Released

A very minor release, 2.5.2 fixes a bug with path sanitation that 2.5.1 introduced. It also improves the post_url tag such that it checks the posts’ name (e.g. 2014-03-03-my-cool-post) instead of a compiled time and name. This fixes issues where posts are created and the day changes based on timezone discrepancies.

Full history here.

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 2.5.1 Released

Hot on the heels of v2.5.0, this release brings relief to our Windows users. It includes a fix for a 2.5.0 path sanitation change that has been confirmed to work on Windows.

To our Windows users: while we don’t officially support Windows, we don’t wish to impede your normal use of Jekyll at all. Our lack of full support for Windows is due to our lack of a Windows machine for development testing (no one on the core team has a Windows machine upon which to test new release candidates), not due to any malice or willful oversight. If you come to us with an issue, we are more than happy to work through it with you to come to a solution that works for all platforms. Along those lines, we have created a Windows Test Force (WTF) which is a group of Jekyll users dedicated to making sure all future releases work on Windows before they’re released so we don’t have this issue again. A special thanks goes out to the initial WTF team members, XhmikosR, Julian Thilo, Pedro Rogério, and Alfred Xing.

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll's Mid-Life Crisis (Or, Jekyll turns 2.5.0)

A new day, a new release! Jekyll just turned 2.5.0 and has gained a lot of wisdom along the way. This 2.5.0 release also comes just a few weeks after Jekyll turned 6 years old! In fashion, we’re celebrating this huge milestone with a pretty big release. What’s changed in 2.5.0? Here are some highlights:

  • Require plugins in the :jekyll_plugins Gemfile group (turned off with an environment variable)
  • YAML Front Matter permalinks can now contain placeholders like :name. Check out all the placeholders on the Permalinks docs page.
  • The jsonify filter now deep-converts arrays to liquid.
  • Shorted build and serve commands with b and s aliases, respectively
  • WEBrick will now list your directory if it can’t find an index file.
  • Any enumerable can be used with the where filter.
  • Performance optimizations thanks to @tmm1’s stackprof
  • Fix for Rouge’s Redcarpet interface
  • Security auditors will love this: path sanitation has now been centralized.
  • Specify a log level with JEKYLL_LOG_LEVEL: debug, info, warn, or error.

…and a whole bunch of other fixes and enhancements you can read more about in the changelog!

As always, if you run into issues, please check the issues and create an issue if one doesn’t exist for the bug you encountered. If you just need some help, the extraordinary jekyll help team is here for you!

When was the first commit to Jekyll? All the way back on October 19, 2008. It features interesting historical tidbits, such as the old name for Jekyll was “autoblog”, and was first released via Rubyforge. What a difference 6 years has made!

Thanks to the following contributors for making this release possible:

Parker Moore, XhmikosR, Alfred Xing, Ruslan Korolev, Pat Hawks, chrisfinazzo, Mike Kruk, Tanguy Krotoff, Matt Hickford, Philipp Rudloff, Rob Murray, Sean Collins, Seth Warburton, Tom Thorogood, Vasily Vasinov, Veres Lajos, feivel, mitaa, nitoyon, snrbrnjna, tmthrgd, Bret Comnes, Charles Baynham, Christian Mayer, Dan Croak, Frederic Hemberger, Glauco Custódio, Igor Kapkov, and Kevin Ndung’u!

A Wild Jekyll 2.4.0 Appeared!

Well, lookie here! A new release of Jekyll! v2.4.0 contains lots of goodies, including some brilliant new additions:

  • A new relative_include Liquid tag (#2870)
  • Render Liquid in CoffeeScript files (#2830)
  • Add 4 new array Liquid filters: push, pop, shift, and unshift (#2895)
  • Auto-enable watch on ‘serve’ (#2858). No more -w!
  • Add :title and :name to collection URL template fillers (#2864 & #2799)
  • Add support for CSV files in the _data directory (#2761)
  • Add inspect liquid filter (#2867)
  • Add a slugify Liquid filter (#2880)

Some other wunderbar bug fixes in there as well. Check out the full changelog for the whole scoop.

As always, many thanks to our amazing contributors who made this release possible: Chris Frederick, Garen Torikian, James Smith, Ruslan Korolev, Joel Glovier, Michael Kühnel, Minn Soe, Pat Hawks, Peter deHaan, Shu Uesugi, TJ, Zhuochun, Alfred Xing, nitoyon, Anatol Broder, Faruk AYDIN, Frederic Hemberger, and Gordon Gao. Thank you!!

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 2.3.0 Released

This latest release of Jekyll includes a slew of enhancements and bug fixes. Some of the highlights:

  • Strange bug around spacing/indentation should be resolved. It was a curious bug indeed.
  • Pages, Posts, and Drafts can now be converted by multiple converters.
  • Static files can now be safely included in collections. They’ll be placed in a collection.files array. collection.docs still holds exclusively content with YAML front matter.
  • Sass files can once again be rendered by Liquid. However, neither Sass nor CoffeeScript can ever have a layout. Bonus: scssify and sassify Liquid filters.
  • Partial variables allowed now in the path argument of include calls
  • We added a jekyll help command. Pass it a subcommand to see more info about that subcommand. Or don’t, to see the help for jekyll itself.
  • Lots of fixes to the site template we use for jekyll new, including converting the CSS into SCSS.
  • The jsonify filter will now call #to_liquid for you
  • Lots, lots more!

One change deserves special note. In #2633, subfolders inside a _posts folder were processed and added as categories to the posts. It turns out, this behaviour was unwanted by a large number of individuals, as it is a handy way to organize posts. Ultimately, we decided to revert this change in #2705, because it was a change in behaviour that was already well-established (at least since Jekyll v0.7.0), and was convenient.

For more excellent CHANGELOG reading material, check out the History page! Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 2.2.0 Released

Jekyll 2.2.0 contains a few key updates:

  1. A warning will now fire if you specify a layout in any of your pages or posts that doesn’t exist.
  2. Certain Pygments options are now whitelisted in safe mode
  3. Categories in a post’s path are now respected (i.e. folders in _posts will now work properly).

As always, a full list of the updates are on the history page. Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 2.1.1 Released

This is a minor release for Jekyll 2.1.0. It fixes a couple bugs and introduces fixes for a couple security-related issues.

It covers two security vulnerabilities:

  1. One in the reading of data
  2. One in the layouts setting

They were identified in Jekyll 1.5.1 and has been confirmed as patched in this version and the version used by GitHub Pages. If you are in the business of building Jekyll sites, please ensure you upgrade to 2.1.1 as soon as possible.

For more, check out jekyll/jekyll#2563.

Additionally, the dependency on Maruku has been loosened and a bug was fixed with document URLs.

As always, check out the full changelog for more info!

Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll 2.0.3 Released

Hey again! Just wanted to let you know we’ve released another version of Jekyll, jam-packed with bug fixes.

A huge “thank you” is in order for all the folks who have submitted bug reports over the last 2 days — your input is what allows this project to continue. It’s always a pain to deal with a MAJOR version bump release, but it’s been pretty smooth so far and you have all been nice about the flaws you’ve found in the tool. Keep filing those reports so we can continue to make Jekyll even better!

Thank you to the contributors that contributed code to 2.0.1, 2.0.2, and/or 2.0.3:

Parker Moore, Yi Zeng, Gabe Ortiz, Aaron Broder, Alberto Grespan, gpxl, David Briggs, Kevin Ingersoll, and Troy Swanson.

As always, check out the changelog for more info. Happy Jekylling!

Jekyll turns 2.0.0

A year ago to the day, we released Jekyll 1.0.0. One year later, we present to you the next major version: Jekyll 2.0.0.

Jam-packed with some highly-requested features and bugfixes galore, this is the best Jekyll yet. Some notable changes:

  1. Collections - Collections allow you to define an unlimited number of custom document types (beyond just posts and pages) for different types of content you may want to author in Jekyll such as API documentation or a cookbook!
  2. Brand new site template (thanks @jglovier!) - Getting started with Jekyll just got a lot easier and a lot more beautiful. Just run jekyll new <path> and you’re good to go.
  3. Native Sass & CoffeeScript support - We love CSS and JavaScript as much as the next guy, but there will always be a special place in our hearts for Sass and CoffeeScript. We now offer native support for these file types — no more messing around with Rake or Grunt!
  4. YAML Front Matter defaults - If you’ve set layout: post more than once in your life, you’ll love this new feature: set front matter defaults for a given directory or type.
  5. Custom markdown processors - Always wanted to use your favourite home-grown Markdown converter, but couldn’t with Jekyll? Now you can. Simply specify markdown: MyConverterClass and you’re on your way.
  6. Addition of where and group_by Liquid filters - Simplifying your Liquid templates one filter at a time. The where filter selects from an array all items within which have a given value for a property. The group_by filter groups all items in an array which have the same value for a given property.
  7. Switch from Maruku to Kramdown as default markdown converter - Maruku is dead. We’ve replaced it with the converter which has the closest feature parity: Kramdown!

Check out our changelog for a complete list of all (200+) changes.

Jekyll 1.5.1 Released

The hawk-eyed @gregose spotted a bug in our Jekyll.sanitized_path code:

> sanitized_path("/tmp/foobar/jail", "..c:/..c:/..c:/etc/passwd")
=> "/tmp/foobar/jail/../../../etc/passwd"

Well, we can’t have that! In 1.5.1, you’ll instead see:

> sanitized_path("/tmp/foobar/jail", "..c:/..c:/..c:/etc/passwd")
=> "/tmp/foobar/jail/..c:/..c:/..c:/etc/passwd"

Luckily not affecting 1.4.x, this fix will make 1.5.0 that much safer for the masses. Thanks, Greg!

Jekyll 1.5.0 Released

As work continues on Jekyll 2.0.0, we felt it was important to address two key issues of Jekyll 1.4.3, namely the safe_yaml dependency below 1.0 and the inability to use Jekyll 1.4.3 on Windows due to a fun issue with path sanitizing.

For a full changelog, check out our history page.

Now, back to work on 2.0.0!

Jekyll 1.4.3 Released

Jekyll 1.4.3 contains two critical security fixes. If you run Jekyll locally and do not run Jekyll in “safe” mode (e.g. you do not build Jekyll sites on behalf of others), you are not affected and are not required to update at this time. (See pull request.)

Versions of Jekyll prior to 1.4.3 and greater than 1.2.0 may allow malicious users to expose the content of files outside the source directory in the generated output via improper symlink sanitization, potentially resulting in an inadvertent information disclosure.

Versions of Jekyll prior to 1.4.3 may also allow malicious users to write arbitrary .html files outside of the destination folder via relative path traversal, potentially overwriting otherwise-trusted content with arbitrary HTML or Javascript depending on your server’s configuration.

Maintainer’s note: Many thanks to @gregose and @charliesome for discovering these vulnerabilities, and to @BenBalter and @alindeman for writing the patch.

Jekyll 1.4.2 Released

This release fixes a regression where Maruku fenced code blocks were turned off, instead of the previous default to on. We’ve added a new default configuration to our maruku config key: fenced_code_blocks and set it to default to true.

If you do not wish to use Maruku fenced code blocks, you may turn this option off in your site’s configuration file.

Jekyll 1.4.1 Released

Another quick turnover, anyone? A critical bug in the reading of posts snuck itself into the 1.4.0 release.

To address this issue, we’re releasing v1.4.1 of Jekyll so that you can keep on writing without any problems.

As always, you can find the full list of fixes in this release in the change log!

Jekyll 1.4.0 Released

About a month after the release of Jekyll v1.3.0, we are releasing Jekyll v1.4.0. This release will be the last non-patch release to support Ruby 1.8.7 and our next release will be Jekyll 2.0.0.

Here are a few things we think you’ll want to know about this release:

  • TOML is now a supported markup language for config files.

  • Maruku has been updated to 0.7.0 which provides some new features and a ton of bugfixes over the previous 0.6.x releases.

  • Non-gem Plugins are now sorted alphabetically by filename before they’re processed, which can provide a rudimentary way to establish a load order for plugins.

For a full run-down, visit our change log!

As always, Jekyll wouldn’t be possible without the contributions from others in the Jekyll community. We’d like to thank the following people for contributing to this release: Anatol Broder, David Sawyer, Greg Karékinian, Jordon Bedwell, Matthew Iversen, Persa Zula, and Yi Zeng.

Jekyll 1.3.1 Released

Just in time for the US holiday Thanksgiving, we’re releasing version 1.3.1 of Jekyll to address some of the issues seen since the release of 1.3.0.

In addition to a couple of other smaller bug fixes, the biggest thing we’ve fixed is an issue with the --watch option with Ruby 1.8.7. For a full run-down, visit our change log!

Thanks to all the people who have contributed to this release! They are (in alphabetical order): Abhi Yerra, Anatol Broder, Andreas Möller, Greg Karékinian, Sam Rayner, Santeri Paavolainen, Shigeya Suzuki, Yihang Ho, albertogg, andrewhavens, maul.esel, and thomasdao

Jekyll 1.3.0 Released

It’s been about six weeks since v1.2.0 and the Jekyll team is happy to announce the arrival of v1.3.0. This is a huge release full of all sorts of new features, bug fixes, and other things that you’re sure to love.

Here are a few things we think you’ll want to know about this release:

  • You can add arbitrary data to the site by adding YAML files under a site’s _data directory. This will allow you to avoid repetition in your templates and to set site specific options without changing _config.yml.

  • You can now run jekyll serve --detach to boot up a WEBrick server in the background. Note: you’ll need to run kill [server_pid] to shut the server down. When ran, you’ll get a process id that you can use in place of [server_pid]

  • You can now disable automatically-generated excerpts if you set excerpt_separator to "".

  • If you’re moving pages and posts, you can now check for URL conflicts by running jekyll doctor.

  • If you’re a fan of the drafts feature, you’ll be happy to know we’ve added -D, a shortened version of --drafts.

  • Permalinks with special characters should now generate without errors.

  • Expose the current Jekyll version as the jekyll.version Liquid variable.

For a full run-down, visit our change log!

Jekyll 1.3.0.rc1 Released

Jekyll 1.3.0 is going to be a big release! In order to make sure we didn’t screw anything up too badly, we’re making a release candidate available for any early adopters who want to give the latest and greatest code a spin without having to clone a repository from git.

Please take this prerelease for a spin and let us know if you run into any issues!

Jekyll 1.2.1 Released

Quick turnover, anyone? A recent incompatibility with Liquid v2.5.2 produced a nasty bug in which include tags were not rendered properly within if blocks.

This release also includes a better handling of detached servers (prints pid and the command for killing the process). Note: the --detach flag and --watch flags are presently incompatible in 1.2.x. Fix for that coming soon!

For a full list of the fixes in this release, check out the change log!

Jekyll 1.2.0 Released

After nearly a month and a half of hard work, the Jekyll team is happy to announce the release of v1.2.0. It’s chock full of bug fixes and some enhancements that we think you’ll love.

Here are a few things we think you’ll want to know about this release:

  • Run jekyll serve --detach to boot up a WEBrick server in the background. Note: you’ll need to run kill [server_pid] to shut the server down.
  • You can now disable automatically-generated excerpts if you set excerpt_separator to "".
  • If you’re moving around pages and post, you can now check for URL conflicts by running jekyll doctor.
  • If you’re a fan of the drafts feature, you’ll be happy to know we’ve added -D, a shortened version of --drafts.
  • Permalinks with special characters should now generate without errors.
  • Expose the current Jekyll version as the jekyll.version Liquid variable.

Jekyll 1.1.2 Released

Version 1.1.2 fixes a minor, but nonetheless important security vulnerability affecting several third-party Jekyll plugins. If your Jekyll site does not use plugins, you may, but are not required to upgrade at this time.

Community and custom plugins extending the Liquid::Drop class may inadvertently disclose some system information such as directory structure or software configuration to users with access to the Liquid templating system.

We recommend you upgrade to Jekyll v1.1.2 immediately if you use Liquid::Drop plugins on your Jekyll site.

Many thanks for Ben Balter for alerting us to the problem and submitting a patch so quickly.

Jekyll 1.0.4 Released

Version 1.0.4 fixes a minor, but nonetheless important security vulnerability affecting several third-party Jekyll plugins. If your Jekyll site does not use plugins, you may, but are not required to upgrade at this time.

Community and custom plugins extending the Liquid::Drop class may inadvertently disclose some system information such as directory structure or software configuration to users with access to the Liquid templating system.

We recommend you upgrade to Jekyll v1.0.4 immediately if you use Liquid::Drop plugins on your Jekyll site.

Many thanks for Ben Balter for alerting us to the problem and submitting a patch so quickly.

Jekyll 1.1.1 Released

Coming just 10 days after the release of v1.1.0, v1.1.1 is out with a patch for the nasty excerpt inception bug (#1339) and non-zero exit codes for invalid commands (#1338).

To all those affected by the strange excerpt bug in v1.1.0, I’m sorry. I think we have it all patched up and it should be deployed to GitHub Pages in the next couple weeks. Thank you for your patience!
