The biggest difference you'll see in Version 2.0 is that we've replaced the built-in editing UI with Decap CMS (formerly known as Netlify CMS), a drop-in content management system for static sites. Doing so has allowed us to trim the JKAN codebase quite considerably (we've removed the vast majority of the JavaScript). As always, using the editor is optional. You can read about the options for using it in docs/installation.md. Big thanks to the great contributions from our pals at Azavea/Element 84, @BryanQuigley, @lukemckinstry, and @lydiascarf! And to @dracos for a contribution from several years ago that we've finally merged!

Breaking changes

  • Upgraded ruby version to 3.1.2, and upgrade ruby and JavaScript dependencies to recent versions
  • Replaced built-in editing UI with Decap CMS (formerly known as Netlify CMS)
  • Restructured licenses.yml for compatibility with Decap CMS. As a result, site.data.licenses is now site.data.licenses.items.
  • Split categories.yml into collection (directory of files). As a result, site.data.categories is now site.dataset_categories.
  • Added out-of-the-box config for hosting on Netlify
  • Added GitHub Actions workflow for publishing to GitHub Pages
  • Removed default baseurl setting from _config.yml
  • Switched to parcel for JavaScript bundling instead of Webpack
  • Upgraded to Bootstrap v5, which means bootswatch themes no longer work

Non-breaking changes

  • Added support for uploading category and organization images
  • Ensured the site works without JavaScript
  • Added a /categories/ index page and a page per category
  • Added a homepage hero image

Deprecations

  • We now recommend hosting JKAN on Netlify, but still support GitHub Pages and other static hosting providers.
  • If you use GitHub Pages, you'll need to switch on GitHub Actions in your repository to replace the legacy publishing workflow.

v1.0.3

Important hotfix

The latest version of Jekyll introduced themes, and apparently reserved the property theme in _config.yml. GitHub pages upgraded the version of Jekyll it uses to this version, and as a result, all JKAN builds were failing because JKAN uses the theme property internally. @patcon reported this issue and this patch fixes it.

Please upgrade immediately by going to the Maintenance section of Administration in your JKAN site. Until you upgrade, your JKAN site will still work, but editing content will not regenerate the site.

Hotfixes

  • Rename theme to jkan_theme in _config.yml to fix build issues caused by GitHub Pages (#127)

Pre-release

This release marks a release candidate for v1.0.0. The question to ask before declaring it v1.0.0 is whether JKAN is production-ready. Please join the discussion and give your thoughts in #91.
