This is a plugin I'd like to use, I put it in my _plugins directory, but it doesn't work; although other plugins - rss_generator.rb, sitemap_generator.rb - both work. I'd like to extend this and add a version number I generate when I build the site, which will also be used in the tag when a post_hook checks it into git. Can you tell me if anything has changed with jekyll to break this plugin? Running jekyll with -t (trace) tells me nothing. Thanks

Changing the site.config["destination"] to site.source fixed this for me.
