Jekyll 3.0 Released

Jekyll is a static website generator used by many blogs that are hosted on GitHub pages.

>Dependencies reduced from 14 to 8, none contain C extensions. We’re hoping to reduce this even more in the future.

Nice to see a pure-ruby syntax highlighter (Rouge, previously Pygments), Markdown parser (Kramdown) and template engine (Liquid). I had a lot of problems in the past installing Jekyll on Windows.

I also used this occasion to install a fresh Ruby version (Ruby 2.2). Woah, good to see all these performance improvements in Ruby and its package manager Gems.
