A Jekyll theme to generate macOS appcast feeds and changelog pages.

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "jekyll-theme-appcast"

And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:

theme: jekyll-theme-appcast

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-theme-appcast

This theme comes with 2 layouts:

• _layouts/appcast: A template of an XML-based, Sparkle-compatible appcast.
• _layouts/changelog: A template of an HTML list of all past releases.

To use these layouts, create a new file withe the desired extension (.xml for the appcast and .html or .md for the HTML) and add the name of the layput in the YAML front matter.

Example:

---
layout: appcast
---

You can also configure the pages using one of the templates with the following settings:

For appcast:

---
layout: appcast
custom_feed_title: "My custom feed title"
custom_feed_description: "My custom feed description"
default_minimum_system_version: 10.10
language_code: "jp"
---

For changelog:

---
layout: changelog
custom_title: "My Demo App's Changelog"
custom_css_class: "demp-app"
---

To add an entry, simply create a post with the following format:

---
date: 2017-02-04 00:00:00 +0100
enclosure_url: https://someeclosure.example.com/mydemoapp.zip
