New
Beautiful Jekyll v6.0.1
This version has been in the works for a few years. It includes several new features that were highly requested, numerous bug fixes, new documentation, and aggresively encourages migrating from the old Google Universal Analytics to the new Analytics 4.
Breaking changes
- As of July 2023, Google Universal Analytics is going away and being replaced by Google Analytics 4. Beautiful Jekyll sites that still use the old analytics tag will show a warning to encourage them to move to Analytics 4 (#1096).
- More control over RSS feed sharing: previously, an RSS feed was always generated, and if the config setting
rss-descriptionwas set then there was an RSS icon in the footer. Now, an RSS feed is only generated when the config settingrss-descriptionexists, and an RSS footer icon is only shown ifrss: trueis set in thesocial-network-linksconfig settings.
New parameters and settings
- Added
navbar-var-lengthconfig setting that allows the navigation menu to be the same length as the longest sub-menu, so that long words in the submenu are not cut off (#765) - Added
post_searchconfig setting that creates a Search button in the navbar (#770)
