+    <p>Good news! Nearly 400 commits later, Jekyll 3.5.0 has been released into
+the wild. Some new shiny things you might want to test out:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Jekyll now uses Liquid 4, the latest! It comes with whitespace control, new filters <code class="highlighter-rouge">concat</code> annd <code class="highlighter-rouge">compact</code>, loop performance improvements and <a href="https://github.com/Shopify/liquid/blob/master/History.md#400--2016-12-14--branch-4-0-stable">many fixes</a>
+</li>
+  <li>Themes can specify runtime dependencies (in their gemspecs) and we’ll require those. This makes it easier for theme writers to use plugins.</li>
+  <li>Speaking of themes, we’ll properly handle the discrepancy between a convertible file in the local site and a static file in the theme. Overriding a file locally now doesn’t matter if it’s convertible or static.</li>
+  <li>Pages, posts, and other documents can now access layout variables via <code class="highlighter-rouge"><span class="p">{</span><span class="err">{</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">layout</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">}</span><span class="err">}</span></code>.</li>
+  <li>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">gems</code> key in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">_config.yml</code> is now <code class="highlighter-rouge">plugins</code>. This is backwards-compatible, as Jekyll will gracefully upgrade <code class="highlighter-rouge">gems</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">plugins</code> if you use the former.</li>
+  <li>Filters like <code class="highlighter-rouge">sort</code> now allow you to sort based on a subvalue, e.g. <code class="highlighter-rouge"><span class="p">{</span><span class="err">%</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">assign</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">sorted</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">=</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">site.posts</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">|</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">sort:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">"image.alt_text"</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">%}</span></code>.</li>
+  <li>You can now create tab-separated data files.</li>
+  <li>Using <code class="highlighter-rouge">layout: none</code> will now produce a file with no layout. Equivalent to <code class="highlighter-rouge">layout: null</code>, with the exception that <code class="highlighter-rouge">none</code> is a truthy value and won’t be overwritten by front matter defaults.</li>
+  <li>No more pesky errors if your URL contains a colon (sorry about those!)</li>
+  <li>We now automatically exclude the <code class="highlighter-rouge">Gemfile</code> from the site manifest when compiling your site. No more <code class="highlighter-rouge">_site/Gemfile</code>!</li>
+  <li>We fixed a bug where abbreviated post dates were ignored, e.g. <code class="highlighter-rouge">_posts/2016-4-4-april-fourth.md</code>.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>And <a href="/docs/history/">so much more!</a></p>
+
+<p>There was a huge amount of effort put into this release by our maintainers,

+  <div class="post-content">
+    <p>Another one-PR patch update as we continue our quest to destroy all bugs. A
+fairly technical debriefing follows, but the TLDR is that we have updated the
+<code class="highlighter-rouge">uri_escape</code> filter to more closely follow the pre-v3.4.0 behavior.</p>
+
+<p>In <a href="/news/2017/01/18/jekyll-3-4-0-released/">v3.4.0</a>, we
+moved away from using the deprecated
+<a href="https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.3.0/libdoc/uri/rdoc/URI/Escape.html#method-i-encode"><code class="highlighter-rouge">URI.escape</code></a>
+in favor of
+<a href="http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/addressable/Addressable/URI#encode-class_method"><code class="highlighter-rouge">Addressable::URI.encode</code></a>.
+This is what powers our <a href="https://jekyllrb.com/docs/templates/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">uri_escape</code>
+filter</a>.</p>
+
+<p>While this transition was mostly a smooth one, the two methods are not
+identical. While <code class="highlighter-rouge">URI.escape</code> was happy to escape any string,
+<code class="highlighter-rouge">Addressable::URI.encode</code> first turns the string into an <code class="highlighter-rouge">Addressable::URI</code>
+object, and will then escape each component of that object. In most cases, this
+difference was insignificant, but there were a few cases where this caused some
+unintended regressions when encoding colons.</p>
+
+<p>While <strong>Addressable</strong> can understand that something like <code class="highlighter-rouge">"/example :page"</code> is a
+relative URI, without the slash it cannot figure out how to turn
+<code class="highlighter-rouge">"example :page"</code> into an <code class="highlighter-rouge">Addressable::URI</code> object. <code class="highlighter-rouge">URI.escape</code> had no such
+objection. This lead to the following Liquid code working fine in Jekyll 3.3.x
+but breaking in 3.4.0:</p>
+
+<div class="language-liquid highlighter-rouge">
+<pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{{</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"example :page"</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">|</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nf">uri_escape</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">}}</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>This was not an intended consequence of switching to <strong>Addressable</strong>.</p>
+
+<p>Fortunately, the solution was not complicated. <strong>Addressable</strong> has a method
+<a href="http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/addressable/Addressable/URI#normalize_component-class_method"><code class="highlighter-rouge">Addressable::URI.normalize_component</code></a>
+which will simply escape the characters in a string, much like <code class="highlighter-rouge">URI.escape</code>.</p>
+

+    <p>Another one-PR patch update, though without the same <a href="/news/2017/03/02/jekyll-3-4-1-released/">lessons as for the
+previous release</a>.</p>
+
+<p>This release includes a beneficial change for a number of plugins:
+<strong>static files now respect front matter defaults</strong>.</p>
+
+<p>You might be asking yourself: “why would static files, files that are
+static files explicitly because they <em>don’t</em> have YAML front matter, want
+to respect YAML front matter?” That’s a great question. Let me illustrate
+with an example.</p>
+
+<p>Let’s look at <code class="highlighter-rouge">jekyll-sitemap</code>. This plugin generates a list of documents,
+pages, and static files, and some metadata for them in an XML file for a
+Google/Yahoo/Bing/DuckDuckGo crawler to consume. If you don’t want a given
+file in this list, you set <code class="highlighter-rouge">sitemap: false</code> in the YAML front matter. But
+what about static files, which don’t have YAML front matter? Before this
+release, they could not be excluded because they had no properties in YAML
+other than <a href="https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/blob/v3.4.1/lib/jekyll/static_file.rb#L98-L106">the ones we explicitly assigned</a>.
+So if you had a PDF you didn’t want to be in your sitemap, you couldn’t use
+<code class="highlighter-rouge">jekyll-sitemap</code>.</p>
+
+<p>With this release, you can now set <a href="/docs/configuration/#front-matter-defaults">front matter
+defaults</a> for static files:</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge">
+<pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">defaults</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+  <span class="pi">-</span>
+    <span class="s">scope</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+      <span class="s">path</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">pdfs/"</span>
+    <span class="s">values</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+      <span class="s">sitemap</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">false</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Now, for every file in the Liquid <code class="highlighter-rouge">site.static_files</code> loop which is in the
+folder <code class="highlighter-rouge">pdfs/</code>, you’ll see <code class="highlighter-rouge">sitemap</code> equal to <code class="highlighter-rouge">false</code>.</p>
+
+<p>Many thanks to <a href="https://github.com/benbalter" class="user-mention">@benbalter</a> for coming up with the solution and ensuring
+sitemaps everywhere are filled with just the right content.</p>
+
+<p>As always, if you notice any bugs, please search the issues and file one if
+you can’t find another related to your issue.</p>

+    <p>Conformity is a confounding thing.</p>
+
+<p>We write tests to ensure that a piece of functionality that works today
+will work tomorrow, as further modifications are made to the codebase. This
+is a principle of modern software development: every change must have a
+test to guard against regressions to the functionality implemented by that
+change.</p>
+
+<p>And yet, occasionally, our very best efforts to test functionality will be
+thwarted. This is because of how our code produces unintended
+functionality, which naturally goes untested.</p>
+
+<p>In our documentation, we tell users to name their posts with the following
+format:</p>
+
+<div class="language-text highlighter-rouge">
+<pre class="highlight"><code>YYYY-MM-DD-title.extension
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>That format specifies exactly four numbers for the year, e.g. 2017, two
+letters for the month, e.g. 03, and two letters for the day, e.g. 02. To
+match this, we had the following regular expression:</p>
+
+<div class="language-ruby highlighter-rouge">
+<pre class="highlight"><code><span class="sr">%r!^(?:.+/)*(</span><span class="se">\d</span><span class="sr">+-</span><span class="se">\d</span><span class="sr">+-</span><span class="se">\d</span><span class="sr">+)-(.*)(</span><span class="se">\.</span><span class="sr">[^.]+)$!</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>You might already see the punchline. While our documentation specifies the
+exact number of numbers that is required for each section of the date, our
+regular expression does not enforce this precision. What happens if a user
+doesn’t conform to our documentation?</p>
+
+<p>We recently <a href="https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/5603">received a bug report</a>
+that detailed how the following file was considered a post:</p>
+
+<div class="language-text highlighter-rouge">
+<pre class="highlight"><code>84093135-42842323-42000001-b890-136270f7e5f1.md
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Of course! It matches the above regular expression, but doesn’t satisfy
+other requirements about those numbers being a valid date (unless you’re
+living in a world that has 43 million months, and 42 million (and one)
+days). So, we <a href="https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/pull/5609">modified the regular expression to match our
+documentation</a>:</p>
+
+<div class="language-ruby highlighter-rouge">
+<pre class="highlight"><code><span class="sr">%r!^(?:.+/)*(</span><span class="se">\d</span><span class="sr">{4}-</span><span class="se">\d</span><span class="sr">{2}-</span><span class="se">\d</span><span class="sr">{2})-(.*)(</span><span class="se">\.</span><span class="sr">[^.]+)$!</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Our tests all passed and we were properly excluding this crazy date with 43
+million months and days. This change shipped in Jekyll v3.4.0 and all was
+well.</p>
+
+<p>Well, not so much.</p>
+
+<p>A very common way to specify the month of February is <code class="highlighter-rouge">2</code>. This is true for
+all single-digit months and days of the month. Notice anything about our
+first regular expression versus our second? The second regular expression
+imposes a <strong>minimum</strong>, as well as maximum, number of digits. This change
+made Jekyll ignore dates with single-digit days and months.</p>
+
+<p>The first eight years of Jekyll’s existence had allowed single-digit days
+and months due to an imprecise regular expression. For some people, their
+entire blog was missing, and there were no errors that told them why.</p>
+
+<p>After receiving a few bug reports, it became clear what had happened.
+Unintended functionality of the last eight years had been broken. Thus,
+v3.4.0 was broken for a non-negligible number of sites. With a test site
+in-hand from <a href="https://github.com/andrewbanchich" class="user-mention">@andrewbanchich</a>, I tracked it down to this regular expression
+and <a href="https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/pull/5920">reintroduced</a> a proper
+minimum number of digits for each segment:</p>
+
+<div class="language-ruby highlighter-rouge">
+<pre class="highlight"><code><span class="sr">%r!^(?:.+/)*(</span><span class="se">\d</span><span class="sr">{2,4}-</span><span class="se">\d</span><span class="sr">{1,2}-</span><span class="se">\d</span><span class="sr">{1,2})-(.*)(</span><span class="se">\.</span><span class="sr">[^.]+)$!</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>And, I wrote a test.</p>
+
+<p>This change was quickly backported to v3.4.0 and here we are: releasing
+v3.4.1. It will fix the problem for all users who were using single-digit
+months and days.</p>
+
+<p>With this, I encourage all of you to look at your code for <em>unintended</em>
+functionality and make a judgement call: if it’s allowed, <em>should it be</em>?
+If it should be allowed, make it <em>intended</em> functionality and test it! I
+know I’ll be looking at my code with much greater scrutiny going forward,
+looking for unintended consequences.</p>
+
+<p>Many thanks to our Jekyll affinity team captains who helped out, including
+<a href="https://github.com/pathawks" class="user-mention">@pathawks</a>, <a href="https://github.com/pnn" class="user-mention">@pnn</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/DirtyF" class="user-mention">@DirtyF</a>. Thanks, too, to <a href="https://github.com/ashmaroli" class="user-mention">@ashmaroli</a> for reviewing my
+change with an eye for consistency and precision. This was certainly a team
+effort.</p>
+
+<p>We hope Jekyll v3.4.1 brings your variable-digit dates back to their
+previous glory. We certainly won’t let that unintended functionality be
+unintended any longer.</p>
+
+<p>As always, Happy Jekylling!</p>
