Fork notes

This project was forked from the CloudCannon/jekyll-resize repo (jekyll-resize on RubyGems). So that I could use this in my Jekyll 4 project and so others can too.

Improvements in this fork

• Updated jekyll-resize.gemspec to use Jekyll 4.
• Updated jekyll-resize.rb file.
  • Fixes:
    • Jekyll 4 fix - added require "mini_magick" to avoid a runtime error, as constant MiniMagick::Image was not defined. This was the main reason for creating this fork initially.
  • Features:
    • Forward slash is no longer required for the input path. So both image.png and /image.png are valid, not just the second one.
    • Added support for sites on a subpath - the site.baseurl is prepended now. Also, because of joining with File.join, the cache directory in the plugin code need doesn't to start with a forward slash anymore to work.
    • Reworded "Thumbnailing" to "Resizing", because this doesn't have to be used to make thumbnails (which are very small).
    • Reduced hash from 64 to 32 characters long (who needs 64 anyway?).
    • Added validation on plugin inputs as non-empty strings, to avoid errors later.
  • Refactor
    • Created functions to break up the logic.
    • Changed variable names and order of lines.
• Created this README.md file and the docs directory.
• Created demo directory as a site for local testing of the plugin.
• Created Makefile
• Created .editorconfig
