URL autolinks are not supported and I use that extensively (it works fine in GitHub and in redcarpet). Having to expicitly add <> around every URL will be a pain.
My image plugin stopped working. Maybe it's just a matter of adjusting regexes (see the ending /> in the new code).
-<p class="image"><img src="img/moneylog.jpg" alt=""></p>
+<p><img src="img/moneylog.jpg" alt="" /></p>
-<p class="figure"><img src="/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ringtones-itunes.png" alt="Toques já adicionados ao iTunes"><span>Toques já adicionados ao iTunes</span></p>
+<p><img src="/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ringtones-itunes.png" alt="Toques já adicionados ao iTunes" /></p>
It's good that some entities are converted to real chars ("pronto" → “pronto”). But note that those are not plain quotes, but fancy quotes (" vs “).
It's good that automatic ids are made, but they are not sanitized as ASCII-only: <h2 id="compre-as-peças">Compre as peças</h2>
Note that I will also have to upgrade my local Ruby version, since macOS ship with an ancient one. brew install ruby solves it.
None of those is a deal breaker. It's just annoying to have this extra work because Jekyll keeps changing it's defaults and supported tools. It makes me wish for a different, stable tool. Also, the ruby/bundle setup always gets me puzzled. A python tool would be more familiar.
Also note that a year passed since 4.0.0 release (Aug 2019), but GitHub Pages still uses 3.x. Update in Oct 2022: three years have passed and it's still 3.x.

I use
redcarpetas the Markdown processor in my website:https://github.com/aureliojargas/aurelio.net/blob/2e4396da3fde34675c9fe1132c9c624d3f0397c5/_config.yml#L16-L19
Unfortunatelly, it is not supported anymore in Jekyll 4.x, so I would have to migrate to
kramdowninstead.But
