8 years ago Applied following fixes:
- Explicitly set
ASSET_PATHin _config.yml as a workaround around this bug in Jekyll. This fixes the faulty stylesheet references in the blog posts. - Fixed some Markdown that didn't render correctly in Jekyll 3.
The remaining problem is that all previous links to blog posts now don't work anymore, because Jekyll 3 handles permalinks differently (trailing slashes removed in Jekyll 3). Example:
http://jpylyzer.openpreservation.org//2015/12/07/Release-of-jpylyzer-1-16-0/ (Old link, now broken) http://jpylyzer.openpreservation.org//2015/12/07/Release-of-jpylyzer-1-16-0 (New link)
In the thread here several people have suggested to add a trailing slash to the permalink variable. I tried this:
permalink: /:categories/:year/:month/:day/:title/After this change the old links worked again, but it breaks the links to all pages that are not a blog post! Instead, as a workaround I added some Javascript to the 404 page that redirects old "old" URLs to the new location. Workaround taken from Dean Attali:

After upgrade links to blog posts didn't work. Other users are reporting similar issues, e.g.:https://twitter.com/nikosbaxevanis/status/694624909478203392
This led me to:
https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/4440
Based on this is added a trailing slash to
permalinkin the config yml, but this led to other problems (manual pages not working, messed up stylesheet refs in blog posts). Also I ran into several problems trying to upgrade my local machine to Jekyll 3 and its dependencies, so it may take a while to sort this out ...Actually the pages are accessible but links to stylesheets now go wrong (undid earlier change).
Also some Markdown now isn't rendered correctly (fix: insert space?)
