On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Nikola v7.8.14. This is a maintenance release for the v7 series.

Future releases in the v7 series are going to be small maintenance releases that include bugfixes only, as work on v8.0.0 is underway. If you wish to test new features, you can install from the master branch on GitHub.

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!

Changes

This release fixes two grave bugs in TOML metadata support (sorry!). The built-in themes have also been cleaned up and include less unused assets. In addition, taxonomies now support translations. HTML meta tags are also possible metadata sources. The default metadata format to generate can now be changed.

Features

  • Added alternate links (visible and header) for archives and authors (Issue #993)
  • Added options to add alternative links (visible and header) for tags, sections and categories.
  • New METADATA_FORMAT option to choose preferred metadata format (Nikola/YAML/TOML/Pelican) (Part of Issue #2801)
  • Extract metadata from HTML meta and title tags like Pelican (Issue #1923)
  • Update assets in the base and base-jinja themes and clean up code (Issue #2744)
  • Show captions in the base theme gallery (Part of issue #2777)

Bugfixes

  • Fix two grave bugs in TOML metadata
  • Require just one line break after TOML/YAML metadata
  • Add alt attribute to images in galleries in base theme (Part of issue #2777)
  • Support empty lines in YAML/TOML metadata (Part of issue #2801)
  • Tests run on macOS.

On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Nikola v7.8.7. This is a part-emergency bugfix, part-world domination release.

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.

Changes

In an effort to improve interoperability with other static site generators, make importing data easier, and help with world domination, Nikola v7.8.7 ships with support for the following metadata formats:

  • reST-style comments (.. name: value — default format)
  • Two-file format (reST-style comments or 7-line)
  • Jupyter Notebook metadata
  • YAML, between --- (Jekyll, Hugo)
  • TOML, between +++ (Hugo)
  • reST docinfo (Pelican)
  • Markdown metadata extension (Pelican)

In addition, Markdown is now enabled and required by default. More details: https://getnikola.com/handbook.html#metadata-formats

The release also fixes two important bugs, one that crashes when trying to detect locale in some edge cases, and another which made some themes quietly leak template files. If you’re using a Jinja2-based theme that does not have its own parent file, please force a rebuild (nikola build -a).

Features

  • Enable markdown by default (part of Issue #2809)
  • Allowing to register filters from plugins, and allowing to specify default filters as strings of the form filters.<name> (part of Issue #2475)
  • Support ignoring assets via ignore_assets theme meta field (Issue #2812)
  • Ignore unused Colorbox locales (Issue #2812)
  • Accept tag metadata as lists for YAML/TOML (Issue #2801)
  • Support for mapping metadata from other formats to Nikola names using the METADATA_MAPPING setting (Issue #2817)
  • Support for reStructured text docinfo metadata with USE_REST_DOCINFO_METADATA option, defaulting to False (Issue #1923)
  • New HIDE_REST_DOCINFO option, defaulting to False.
  • Support for Markdown Metadata for Pelican compatibility by adding 'markdown.extensions.meta' to MARKDOWN_EXTENSIONS (Issue #1923)
  • Support for YAML and TOML metadata (Issue #2801)

Bugfixes

  • Use inheritance tree when looking for theme engine (Issue #2816)
  • Fix unbound variable error in locale guessing (Issue #2806)
