Many folks ask for help (via IRC or filing GitHub issues) without
sufficient detail and/or without first determining if the answers to
their questions might be better sourced elsewhere. These
documentation changes encourage users to follow certain guidelines
when reaching out for help.
On OSX, if LC_TIME and LC_CTYPE differs the output of strftime is not properly decoded
in Python 3. This makes sure that the 'utils.DateFormatter' and the related Jinja filter
'strftime' set the same value for LC_TIME and LC_CTYPE while formatting.
Also, '%a' is removed from DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT in 'custom_locale' tests. OSX and *nix have
different conversions for '%a' ('Jeu' vs 'jeu.') and there is not a feasible way to handle
the difference for tests.

If one used a locale that made use of unicode characters (like fr_FR.UTF-8)
the files on disk would be in correct locale while links would be to C.
Uses a SafeDatetime class that works with unicode format strigns
by using custom strftime to prevent ascii decoding errors with Python2.
Also added unicode decoding for the calendar module to fix period
archives.
Instead of one path a list can be given. This is due to popular request.
Should help people not wanting to use Pelican for blogging.
Maintain backward compatibility though.
Thanks to @ingwinlu for pointing out the change in StaticGenerator.
The "Getting Started" docs became overly long and unwieldy over time.
This splits it into separate sections, including:
* Quickstart
* Installation
* Writing content
* Publish your site
CACHE_PATH can now be relative to settings file like OUTPUT_PATH.
Also add --cache-path commandline option.
Change cache loading warning to a less scary and more helpful message.
For some reason, setting names on the Settings page have long been
wrapped in single back-ticks (usually meant for linking in reST) instead
of double back-ticks (meant for denoting code). This seems to be
widespread throughout the docs, and it's not clear if this is
intentional or simply a reST formatting error that got propagated by
others in order to stay consistent. This commit applies double
back-ticks in any case where something resembling code is shown, with
the idea that single back-ticks should only be used when linking.
More importantly, the settings denoted their default values in
parentheses, which hapless users often included when copying and pasting
these values into their config files. As one can imagine, confusion —
not hilarity — ensued. Setting defaults are now shown as they would
actually appear in one's settings file, with an equal sign and without
parentheses.
During this spelunking expedition, many other minor improvements were
concurrently conducted.
This is a reworked and improved version of content caching.
Notable changes:
- by default only raw content and metadata returned by readers are
cached which should prevent conficts with plugins, the speed benefit
of content objects caching is not very big with a simple setup
- renamed --full-rebuild to --ignore-cache
- added more elaborate logging to caching code
Drop duplicates logs.
Allow for logs to be grouped, enforcing a maximum number of logs per group.
Add the LOG_FILTER setting to ask from the configuration file to ignore some
logs (of level up to warning).
Previously, the documentation claimed the value of None for this purpose
even though False was used for certain defaults. The values False and
None cause warnings to be emitted from URLWrapper._from_settings though,
so the new way of inhibiting page generation is to set a *_SAVE_AS value
to the empty string.
