• Prevent infinite loop when encountering files where base filename is a possible templating engine

4.1.7

• Upgrade fastimage to 2.0

4.1.1

• Fix bad code that made /__middleman/ break.

4.1.0

• Add rewrite_ignore option to asset_hash, asset_host, cache_buster & relative_assets. This proc let's you opt-out of the extension behavior on a per-path basis.

• Correctly exit with error code on failed init
• Fixed asset_hash when path has query string or #hashes
• Fix new extension template
• Don't parse frontmatter on ignored files.

• Minor performance improvements
• DRY-up config.rb-specific commands like ignore or path.
• Fix automatic images with absolute (or images dir missing) paths in markdown. Fixes #1755
• Fix asset_host in combination with Google Analytics snippet. #1751
• Show an error message when git CLI is not available. #1765
• Correctly show file names of GZIP'ed assets. #1364
• Build file output is now parallel-ized! Use middleman build --no-parallel to disable.
• Make template file extensions that get layouts by default configurable via config[:extensions_with_layout]
• Remove = from inline url matcher. This means paths in HTML attributes MUST be quoted. Fixes #1780

4.0.0

• Add :locales and :data source types to the list of files which trigger a live-reload.
• Rename i18n lang and langs to locale and locales.
• Avoid matching URLs across new lines. #1689
• Load Middleman Directory when doing init over SSL
• Fix external_pipeline first runs running out of sequence.

4.0.0.rc.2

• Rather than applying layouts to all files which are not .txt, .css, .js, .json: the new behavior is to only default layouts to active for .html
• Switch from Ruby Sass to SassC.
• relative_assets extension overrides local relative: false option to stylesheet/javascript tag helpers.
• Add before_server-hook to the preview server which is run before the Webrick server is started
• Add -d to middleman server to make it run as daemon
• Trigger "Possible File Change" events on files which share an output or template type with a changed file. Allows LiveReload to update on partial changes.
• Added import_file SOURCE, TARGET and import_path SOURCE_FOLDER to copy resources from outside the project in. Does NOT do file change watching. Perfect for bower_components.

4.0.0.rc.1

• Removed ability to use JSON as frontmatter. Still allowed in data/ folder.
• Added YAML data postscript. Like frontmatter, but reversed. Attach content after the key/value data as a :postscript key to the data structure (if Hash).

4.0.0.beta.2

• Fixed regression causing exceptions to be silently thrown away outside of --verbose mode in the dev server.
• Pull in --ssl option from stable.
• Replace hooks gem with custom callback solution.

4.0.0.beta.1

• Add resources class method to extensions to allow simple string-based resource generation.
• rename app.add_to_instance to Extension.expose_to_application for adding extension-local methods to the shared app instance.
• rename app.add_to_config_context to Extension.expose_to_config for adding extension-local methods to the sandboxed scope of config.rb
• Add Extension.expose_to_template, which auto binds copies of extension-local methods into a Template context.
• Remove side-loading of CLI tasks from tasks/
• Add the option of naming config.rb as middleman.rb.
• Builder extracted from Thor. after_build hook now passes an instance of a Builder instead of the Thor CLI.
• New FileWatcher API.
• Remove the partials_dir setting. Partials should live next to content, or be addressed with absolute paths.
• Partials must be named with a leading underscore. _my_snippet.html.erb, not my_snippet.html.erb.
• Removed the proxy and ignore options for the page command in config.rb. Use the proxy and ignore commands instead of passing these options to page.
• The page command in config.rb can now be used to add data to the page via the data argument. It is accessed the same way as frontmatter data, via current_resource.data.
• Add support for environments with the -e CLI flag. Loads additional config from environments/envname.rb. Removed development? helper in favor of environment?(:development). Added server? helper to differentiate between build and server mode.
• Removed with_layout. Use loops of page instead.
• Removed Queryable Sitemap API
• Removed css_compressor setting, use activate :minify_css, :compressor => instead.
• Removed js_compressor setting, use activate :minify_javascript, :compressor => instead.
• Removed ability to server folders of content statically (non-Middleman projects).
• Prevent local templates being loaded when $HOME is not set
• Removed "Implied Extension feature"
• Remove 'upgrade' and 'install' CLI commands.
• Gemfile may be in a parent directory of your Middleman project root (where 'config.rb' is).
• All dependencies for your Middleman project must be expressed in Gemfile - Bundler is no longer optional.
• Asciidoc information now available with the asciidoc local, which is a normal hash.
• Remove page template local. Use current_resource instead.
• Dropped support for providing a block to page & proxy.
• Dropped support for instance variables inside templates.
• Moved all rendering into TemplateRenderer and FileRenderer
• Placed all template evaluation inside the TemplateContext class
• Remove deprecated request instance
• Remove old module-style extension support
• Placed all config.rb evaluation inside the ConfigContext class
• The preview server can now serve over HTTPS using the --https flag. It will use an automatic self-signed cert which can be overridden using --ssl_certificate and --ssl_private_key. These settings can also be set in config.rb
