blogdown 1.14

• For R Markdown posts, the default rendering method has been changed from html to markdown. If options('blogdown.method') is not set, it will be set to 'markdown'. This option will also be set in .Rprofile for newly created sites via blogdown::new_site(). Users who have already set this blogdown.method option will not be affected. The motivation for this change is that markdown output often works better with Hugo themes and is less surprising, even though the html method allows for richer Markdown features because of Pandoc (thanks, @SebPouliot #737, @austinwpearce #591).

• When rendering Rmd posts that involve time-consuming and intensive computing while serving the site, the hugo process can die (for unknown reasons). Now the hugo process will be suspended before rendering Rmd posts, and resumed after the rendering is done. Hopefully this will keep the server process alive (thanks, @XiangyunHuang, https://d.cosx.org/d/423509).
