Building

This website is based on Jekyll. To build locally, install Ruby 2.2.2 or greater and then run the following commands:

gem install bundle
bundle install

To preview the site (this will launch a tiny webserver on port 4000):

bundle exec jekyll server --future

To simply build the site (output placed in the _site directory):

bundle exec jekyll build --future

Note that the --future parameter is only required if you're adding any pages dated in the future (such as prepared release announcements).

To test the site:

bundle exec jekyll build --future --drafts --unpublished && bundle exec htmlproof ./_site

The additional parameters to jekyll build ensure that all possible pages are built and checked.
