s, rather than Ruby Hash
es, Jekyll now calculates document and site metadata on demand, rather than calculating every possible value at build time.
While this should be a seamless transition for most GitHub Pages users, we recommend that all users test locally using the GitHub Pages Gem before pushing. This ensures that your site will continue to build as expected. Three things to note as you upgrade:
{% raw %}{{ layout }}{% endraw %}
. In you define a variable width: full
in your layout’s YAML front matter, access it with layout.width
.color: purple
in a layout called post
which has a parent layout of default
, and you define color: blue
in the default
layout, then {% raw %}{{ layout.color }}{% endraw %}
will be purple
. For more on this, read the pull request that made the change._includes/JB/setup
to use {% raw %}{{ layout.theme.name }}{% endraw %}
instead of {% raw %}{{ page.theme.name }}{% endraw %}
.Beyond the performance improvements, Jekyll 3.1.6 includes over 100 changes, including many bug fixes, both to the rendering process and to the experience of previewing Jekyll locally.
