We’re pleased to announce the release of Nikola v6.4.0.

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 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 (rebuilding only what has been changed).

Key Changes since v6.3.0

  • The code.css (and all*.css) files have been revamped to support dark themes and Markdown properly. Please remove those files from your output directory and run nikola build to get the fixes.

  • nikola auto supports livereload v2.1.0.

  • Added nikola new_page, equivalent to nikola new_post -p.

  • Deploys to sub-directories (eg. http://example.com/blog/) are now fully supported and bug-free.

Get it!

Nikola is available for download at GitHub and PyPI.

Debian Packages

In the v6.3.0 announcement, it was promised that an install_bs3 command would be added to the Debian packages. The v6.3.0 packages were released yesterday and they contain the promised patch. Please use it to install the theme if you need it.
