On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Nikola v7.8.2. It adds a ton of new features, while also fixing some bugs.
Key Changes =========== * A rewrite of all taxonomies (tags, categories, sections, etc.) in a generic fashion, allowing for much greater flexibility (by Felix Fontein) — adds new settings, enables new features (``CREATE_ARCHIVE_NAVIGATION``) and customizability * Automatic cration of ``year/month/day`` directory structures (``NEW_POST_DATE_PATH``) * Ability to sort posts from within templates (``sort_posts``) * API changes for post compilers (new ``compile``, ``compile_string`` functions) * Addition of a generator meta tag to default themes — we hope you do not mind a bit of promotion for Nikola? 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: https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/releases/tag/v7.8.2 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Nikola/7.8.2 Changes ======= **Minor API change:** The ``compile_string`` compiler method (partially internal) now takes a post argument and returns between two and four values, adding ``shortcode_deps`` and shortcode support. See issues #2623 and #2624. Features -------- * Add meta generator tag to default templates to promote Nikola (Issue #2619) * Add ``nikola new_post -d`` and ``NEW_POST_DATE_PATH`` to allow automatic creation of year/month/day (date-based) directory structures (Issue #2513) * Allow enabling pretty URLs with per-post setting (Issue #2613) * Add a ``sort_posts`` function (available as Jinja filter in global context), which allows general-purpose timeline sorting (Issue #2602) * Allow creating archive navigation (Issue #1639) * Accept a ``page`` argument for taxonomy paths (Issue #2585) * Query strings in magic links are passed as keyword arguments to path handlers (via Issue #2580) * Accept arbitrary arguments to path handlers (via Issue #2580) * Added new ``typogrify_oldschool`` filter (Issue #2574) * Improving handling of .dep files, and allowing compilers to specify additional targets for the ``render_posts`` task (Issue #2536) * ``render_template`` and ``generic_renderer`` can now create HTML fragments. * Allow posts to set custom ``URL_TYPE`` by using the ``url_type`` meta tag (useful for HTML fragments inserted using JavaScript) * Plugins can depend on other plugins being installed (Issue #2533) * The destination folder in ``POSTS`` and ``PAGES`` can now be translated (Issue #2116) * Pass ``post`` object and ``lang`` to post compilers (Issue #2531) * Pass ``url_type`` into template's context. * Make thumbnail naming configurable with ``IMAGE_THUMBNAIL_FORMAT``. * There is a new plugin category ``Taxonomy`` which allows to easily create new taxonomies. All of the existing taxonomies (authors, archives, indexes, page index, sections, tags, and categories) have been converted to the new system. (Issue #2107) * Added ``CATEGORIES_INDEX_PATH``, similar to ``TAGS_INDEX_PATH``. (Issue #2567) * Made ``INDEX_PATH``, ``RSS_PATH`` and ``AUTHOR_PATH`` translatable. (Issue #1914) * Added setting ``SHOW_INDEX_PAGE_NAVIGATION`` which enables a basic page navigation for indexes. (Issue #2299) * Added settings ``DISABLE_INDEXES_PLUGIN_INDEX_AND_ATOM_FEED`` and ``DISABLE_INDEXES_PLUGIN_RSS_FEED`` to disable specific parts of the ``classify_indexes`` taxonomy plugin. (Issue #2591) Bugfixes -------- * Work around conflicts between posts and sections trying to render index.html files (via Issue #2613) * Make ``AUTHOR_PAGES_ARE_INDEXES`` really work (Issue #2600) * WordPress importer now correctly handles & etc. in tags. (Issue #2557) * If ``CODE_COLOR_SCHEME`` is empty, don’t generate ``code.css`` (Issue #2597) * Don’t warn about ``nikolademo`` DISQUS account when comments are disabled (Issue #2588) * Make ``data`` from global context available to templated shortcodes as ``global_data`` (Issue #2488) * Don't crash if plugins is a file (Issue #2539) * Don't mangle bare ``#`` links (Issue #2553) * ``generic_index_renderer`` now always produces output. It previously did not when the post list was empty and ``INDEXES_STATIC == False``. (via Issue #2579)
