blogdown 1.8

NEW FEATURES

• The bookdown config file _bookdown.yml under the site root directory is recognized now. For example, you can customize the figure label in _bookdown.yml (thanks, @luofeicq, yihui/yihui.org#167).

• The internal function scan_yaml() uses cache in the current R session now. Other functions (e.g., find_yaml(), count_yaml(), and the "New Post" addin in RStudio) based on this function should be much faster when there are a lot of files to scan for more than once.

BUG FIXES

• For Hugo versions from 0.89.0 to 0.89.2, new_content() failed to identify new content files if they were created with archetypes (thanks, @maelle, #685).

• When creating new posts, YAML metadata inherited from Hugo archetypes could be mangled (thanks, @llrs, #684).
