This release fixes a few small bugs, including a date glitch that appeared around New Year’s Eve. 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``. Changes ======= Nikola now supports Python 3.5 or newer. If you are on 3.4, please upgrade to a newer release of Python. Bugfixes -------- * Fix hiding future posts in sitemaps for posts without pretty URLs (Issue #3339) * Pass the correct parameters to shortcodes in jupyter notebooks * Fix handling of conflicts between posts/pages and indexes generated by ``CATEGORY_PAGES_FOLLOW_DESTPATH`` * Fix default date format to ``yyyy-MM-dd`` to avoid bug with ISO years (Issue #3337) * Remove ``extra_header`` and ``extra_footer`` from ``base`` theme due to incompatibility with Mako. The blocks are still available in ``bootstrap4`` and ``bootblog4``. (Issue #3319 via #3291) * Show tracebacks when ``conf.py`` cannot be imported * Fix loading complex config files that import modules (Issue #3314) * Fix behavior of header demotion for negative values * If ``FILE_METADATA_REGEXP`` is set, load metadata from the filename first, then continue with the other sources (Issue #3344)
