Release 1.7.0

[jashkenas]

One last thing that we need before releasing 1.7.0, is to port the current Ruby-based index.html.erb homepage into Node. It would allow any maintainer to be able to release point releases ... and I am no longer able to install Ultraviolet in such a way as to make the current implementation work as well.

Are you going for it? If not, I assume you don't want to use Jade, any preferred way of doing it?

[xixixao]

I guess we could just do a regex on the code_for tags, put everything in the Cakefile.

[jashkenas]

I can't at the moment, so if you want to take a crack, feel free.

Let's leave it with basically the same structure, with some little things in the file, and the rest of the setup in the Cakefile. Just using a simple Underscore template for the index page would be fine. Or whatever you like, really. And then HighlightJS for the highlighting...

Isn't this exactly what #3198 did?

It seems to have been merged into gh-pages though, whereas @xixixao's doc updates where done on master.

What should we do? Do you we want to

1. have gh-pages be a mirror of master that updates on each release, or
2. make gh-pages have only the static pages files (index.html, extras/coffee-script.js, CSS styles, etc) plus documentation/* files, while master has src/* and lib/* but none of the coffeescript.org-specific stuff?

Both seem like good approaches to me. The first one might be the simplest, but the second one may have the best "separation of concerns" between branches. I'd vote for the first one.

[jashkenas]

#1, please. If we can just move it over, then great.

[jashkenas]

Boom.

A million thanks to @xixixao for putting in all of the final stretchwork to make this release happen. Cheers, buddy.

Woot! Thanks @xixixao.

EDIT : whoah, new design unfolding before me

[michaelficarra]

No! What have they done with the gradients?

[dashed]

Wow. It actually happened. Awesome job @xixixao

And interesting GitHub design o.O

[xixixao]

Someone at Github did casual npm install on unspecified coffee-script version and the new layout was hidden with coffee-script/register. Damn.
