No new features in this release but some important pull requests have been merged into the master branch and I want these included in the downloadable archive.

I realize it has been quite some time since I last updated this project. I still have plans and ideas for improving the design and functionality but COVID-19 came along and changed my priorities.

Watch this space for more updates soon and thank you kindly for your continued interest.

#5: Improved display of post header when multiple categories by wblakecaldwell

#6: RSS readers are not finding the feed for the site by grahamefendle

#7: Bumps kramdown from 2.1.0 to 2.3.0 in order to fix a security vulnerability.

Removed extraneous H1 tags from post.html as pointed out by grahamefendle

Fix for nokogiri vulnerability of moderate severity.

I will be creating new variations of this theme as sets of replacement SCSS files.

The first release in this series is today and it is called Midnight.

In order to change your site to the Midnight color scheme you simply copy the six files in the /_sass/schemes/midnight/ directory into /_sass/, overwriting the existing versions. To revert this change just copy the six files in the /_sass/schemes/default/ directory into /_sass/ instead.

FIXED: Liquid syntax warnings that would be displayed under certain circumstances when initiating a local running instance.

IMPROVED: Per-category Atom feeds. A great way to separate topics or keep linked-list/microblog style posts out of a feed. There is an example file called announcements.xml which can be changed in order to fit your needs.

IMPROVED: Ordinal, rather than cardinal display of dates is now the default.

IMPROVED: Home and per-post pagination are now styled and function identically.

ADDED: Rich link previews! Replace assets/iMessage.png with the image of your choice and whenever a link to your website is shared using iMessage for iOS/macOS/watchOS it will be shared as a rich link with the image you chose rather than just displaying the fav icon. This feature can also be extended to show a specific image per post/page instead.

Fixed: When a date last modified is present for a post the category is now listed next to the original publish date when viewing an individual post.

IMPROVED: Updated the README to detail all of the features available in Noir.

IMPROVED: Changed the favicon so that it looks best with both light and dark modes.

IMPROVED: Refined the presentation of the masthead, footer and last modified date in order to provide a consistent design aesthetic between desktop and mobile.

Refined the style of figure captions.

Added an optional last modified date for posts.
