* Adds period tuple of (year, month, day) matching the time
period of the current archive. Note that this is done
to the archive context if period_archives.html doesn't exist.
* Adds tests to verify this.
* Adds documentation in themes.rst about period in period_archives.html.
This is necessary to make the link to the site home work locally, because then SITEURL may be set to an empty string (in fact the Pelican default configuration sets it to an empty string in pelicanconf.py).
The Typogrify library is no longer actively maintained by the
original author. These changes switch Pelican over to a new fork that
will receive more consistent updates going forward.
Previously pelican-quickstart would assume that the site it created for GitHub
Pages should be published to the gh-pages branch. This is correct for project
pages, but not correct for personal pages. Personal pages, which live in a
user's special username.github.io repository, are instead deployed to the
master branch. This means that if you did pelican-quickstart and tried to
publish your new personal site with make github you'd see nothing (or whatever
old pages site you had floating around in master).
ghp-import already supports publishing to different branches, so publishing
to the correct branch is just a matter of correct configuration and updating
the Makefile to pass the branch along to ghp-import. pelican-quickstart now
asks if the user wants to publish to GitHub Pages, and if so, asks if this
is a personal page and chooses the correct branch appropriately. I preferred
this approach to prompting for an arbitrary branch because I felt that
choosing the branch would feel more intimidating to someone using
pelican-quickstart for the first time.
This essentially ports changes I made to my personal pages site at

Previously if you tried to mark an article as a draft by using a different
casing (for example, draft) you would get a warning when building:
`Unknown status Draft for file foo.md, skipping it.` This uses a
case-insensitive comparison when looking at article status instead. I
believe this behavior is a little easier for new Pelican users.
