DEPRECATIONwarnings mark features that still work but may be removed in the future.UNSUPPORTEDwarnings mark features that will not work anymore. -
Change There are visual improvements in displaying text links in your content aswell as to some other clickable areas in the theme. If you’ve overwritten some theme styles in your own CSS, keep this in mind.
-
New Restored compatibility with Hugo 0.95.0 or higher. This does not change the minimum required Hugo version.
-
New The
siteparamshortcode is now capable in displaying nested params aswell as supporting text formatting.
5.17.0 (2023-06-22)
-
Change The default behavior for the copy-to-clipboard feature for code blocks has changed.
The copy-to-clipboard button for code blocks will now only be displayed if the reader hovers the code block.
If you dislike this new behavior you can turn it off and revert to the old behavior by adding
[params] disableHoverBlockCopyToClipBoard=trueto yourconfig.toml. -
New Restored compatibility with Hugo 0.114.0 or higher. This does not change the minimum required Hugo version.
-
New The new
highlightshortcode replaces Hugo’s default implementation and is fully compatible. So you don’t need to change anything.In addition it offers some extensions. Currently only the
wrapextension option is provided to control whether a code block should be wrapped or scrolled if to long to fit.
5.16.0 (2023-06-10)
-
Change The theme now provides warnings for deprecated or now unsupported features. The warnings include hints how to fix them and an additional link to the documenation.
DEPRECATIONwarnings mark features that still work but may be removed in the future.UNSUPPORTEDwarnings mark features that will not work anymore. -
Change The 404 error page was revamped. Hopefully you will not see this very often.
-
New The
tabsshortcode and thetabshortcode received some love and now align with their style, color, title and icon parameter to the other shortcodes.The visuals are now slightly different compared to previous versions. Most noteable, if you now display a single code block in a tab, its default styling will adapt to that of a code block but with a tab handle at the top.
Additionally the
nameparameter was renamed totitlebut you don’t need to change anything yet as the old name will be used as a fallback. Nevertheless you will get deprecation warnings while executing Hugo. -
New The theme now optionally supports separate favicons for light & dark mode.
5.15.0 (2023-05-29)
-
Change Restored compatibility with Hugo 0.112.0 or higher. This does not change the minimum required Hugo version.
The
attachmentsshortcode has compatiblity issues with newer Hugo versions. You must switch to leaf bundles or are locked to Hugo <0.112.0for now.It is planned to refactor the
attchmentsshortcode in the future. This will make it possible to use the shortcode in branch bundles again but not in simple pages anymore. This will most likely come with a breaking change. -
Change The
tabsshortcode has changed behavior if you haven’t set thegroupidparameter.Formerly all tab views without a
groupidwere treated as so they belong to the same group. Now, each tab view is treated as it was given a unique id. -
New The already known
tabshas a new friend thetabshortcode to make it easier to create a tab view in case you only need one single tab. Really handy if you want to flag your code examples with a language identifier.Additionally for such a use case, the whitespace between a tab outline and the code is removed if only a single code block is contained.
-
New Besides the tag taxonomy the theme now also provides the category taxonomy out of the box and shows them in the content footer of each page.
5.14.0 (2023-05-20)
-
New The taxonomy pages received some love in this release, making them better leverage available screen space and adding translation support for the taxonomy names.
Hugo’s default taxonmies
tagsandcategoriesare already contained in the theme’s i18n files. If you have self-defined taxonomies, you can add translations by adding them to your own i18n files. If you don’t provide translations, the singualar and plural forms are taken as configured in yourconfig.toml. -
New To give you more flexibility in customizing your article layout a new partial
content-header.htmlis introduced.This came out of the requirement to customize the position of article tags, which by default are displayed above the title. A second requirement was to also show additional taxonomies not supported by the theme natively. While Hugo supports tags and categories by default, the theme only displays tags.
So how to adjust the position of tags starting from the theme’s default where tags are only shown above the title?
- Hide tags above title: Overwrite
content-header.htmlwith an empty file. - Show tags between title and content: Overwrite
heading-post.htmland add{{- partial "tags.html" . }}to it. - Show tags below content: Overwrite
content-footer.htmland add{{- partial "tags.html" . }}to it.
- Hide tags above title: Overwrite
-
New The new parameter
breadcrumbSeparatoris now available in yourconfig.tomlto change the - well - separator of the breadcrumb items. An appropriate default is in place if you do not configure anything.
5.13.0 (2023-05-17)
-
Change The
swaggershortcode was deprecated in favor for theopenapishortcode. You don’t need to change anything yet as the old name will be used as a fallback. It is planned to remove theswaggershortcode in the next major release.Additionally, the implemantion of this shortcode was switched from RapiDoc to SwaggerUI.
5.12.0 (2023-05-04)
-
Change In the effort to comply with WCAG standards, the implementation of the collapsible menu was changed (again). While Internet Explorer 11 has issues in displaying it, the functionality still works.
-
New Support for the great VSCode Front Matter extension which provides on-premise CMS capabilties to Hugo.
The theme provides Front Matter snippets for its shortcodes. Currently only English and German is supported. Put a reference into your
frontmatter.jsonlike this{ ... "frontMatter.extends": [ "./vscode-frontmatter/snippets.en.json" ] ... } -
New Support for languages that are written right to left (like Arabic) is now complete and extended to the menu, the top navigation bar and print. You can experience this in the pirate translation. This feature is not available in Internet Explorer 11.
-
New The scrollbars are now colored according to their variant color scheme to better fit into the visuals.
5.11.0 (2023-02-07)
-
Change The theme removed the popular jQuery library from its distribution.
In case you made changes to the theme that are dependend on this library you can place a copy of jQuery into your
static/jsdirectory and load it from your ownlayouts/partials/custom-header.htmllike this:<script src="{{"js/jquery.min.js"| relURL}}" defer></script> -
Change Mermaid diagrams can now be configured for pan and zoom on site-, page-level or individually for each graph.
The default setting of
on, in effect since 1.1.0, changed back tooffas there was interference with scrolling on mobile and big pages. -
Change The theme is now capable to visually adapt to your OS’s light/dark mode setting.
This is also the new default setting if you haven’t configured
themeVariantin yourconfig.toml.Additionally you can configure the variants to be taken for light/dark mode with the new
themeVariantAutoparameter.This is not supported for Internet Explorer 11, which still displays in the
relearn-lightvariant. -
Change The JavaScript code for handling image lightboxes (provided by Featherlight) was replaced by a CSS-only solution.
This also changed the lightbox effects parameter from
featherlight=falsetolightbox=false. Nevertheless you don’t need to change anything as the old name will be used as a fallback. -
Change In the effort to comply with WCAG standards, the implementation of the
expandshortcode was changed. While Internet Explorer 11 has issues in displaying it, the functionality still works. -
New Translation into Czech. This language is not supported for search.
-
New GitHub releases are also now tagged for the main version (eg.
1.2.x), major version (eg.1.x) and the latest (justx) release making it easier for you to pin the theme to a certain version.
5.10.0 (2023-01-25)
-
New The
attachments,badge,buttonandnoticeshortcodes have a new parametercolorto set arbitrary CSS color values.Additionally the
--ACCENT-colorbrand color introduced in version 5.8.0 is now supported with these shortcodes.
5.9.0 (2022-12-23)
-
Breaking With this version it is now possible to not only have sections on the first menu level but also pages.
It was later discovered, that this causes pages only meant to be displayed in the
Moresection of the menu and stored directly inside yourcontentdirectory to now show up in the menu aswell.To get rid of this undesired behavior you have two choices:
-
Make the page file for the
Moresection a headless branch bundle (contained in its own subdirectory and called_index.md) and add the following frontmatter configuration to the file (see exampleSite’scontent/showcase). This causes its content to not be contained in the sitemap.[_build] render = "never" list = "never" publishResources = false -
Store the page file for the
Moresection below a parent headless branch bundle and add the following frontmatter to the parent. In this case, the file itself can be a branch bundle, leaf bundle or simple page (see exampleSite’scontent/more/andcontent/more/credits). This causes its content to be contained in the sitemap.[_build] render = "always" list = "never" publishResources = true
-
-
Change The required folder name for the
attachmentsshortcode was changed for leaf bundles.Previously, the attachments for leaf bundles in non-multilang setups were required to be in a
filessubdirectory. For page bundles and leaf bundles in multilang setups they were always required to be in a_index.<LANGCODE>.filesorindex.<LANGCODE>.filessubdirectory accordingly.This added unnessessary complexity. So attachments for leaf bundles in non-multilang setups can now also reside in a
index.filesdirectory. Although the oldfilesdirectory is now deprecated, if both directories are present, only the oldfilesdirectory will be used for compatiblity. -
Change Absolute links prefixed with
http://orhttps://are now opened in a separate browser tab.You can revert back to the old behavior by defining
externalLinkTarget="_self"in theparamssection of yourconfig.toml. -
New The theme now supports Hugo’s module system.
5.8.0 (2022-12-08)
-
New The new
badgeshortcode is now available to add highly configurable markers to your content as you can see it on this page. -
New The new
iconshortcode simplyfies the usage of icons. This can even be combined with also newbadgeshortcode. -
New The theme now supports some of GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) syntax and Hugo Markdown extensions, namely task lists, defintion lists and footnotes.
-
New A new color
--ACCENT-colorwas introduced which is used for highlightning search results on the page. In case you simply don’t care, you don’t need to change anything in your variant stylesheet as the oldyellowcolor is still used as default.
5.7.0 (2022-11-29)
-
Change The Korean language translation for this theme is now available with the language code
ko. Formerly the country codekrwas used instead. -
New The
buttonshortcode can now also be used as a real button inside of HTML forms - although this is a pretty rare use case. The documentation was updated accordingly. -
New The search now supports the Korean language.
5.6.0 (2022-11-18)
-
New This release introduces an additional dedicated search page. On this page, displayed search results have more space making it easier scanning thru large number of results.
To activate this feature, you need to configure it in your
config.tomlas a new outputformatSEARCHPAGEfor the home page. If you don’t configure it, no dedicated search page will be accessible and the theme works as before.You can access the search page by either clicking on the magnifier glass or pressing enter inside of the search box.
-
New Keyboard handling for the TOC and search was improved.
Pressing
CTRL+ALT+tnow will not only toggle the TOC overlay but also places the focus to the first heading on opening. Subsequently this makes it possible to easily select headings by using theTABkey.The search received its own brand new keyboard shortcut
CTRL+ALT+f. This will focus the cursor inside of the the search box so you can immediately start your search by typing. -
New You are now able to turn off the generation of generator meta tags in your HTML head to hide the used versions of Hugo and this theme.
To configure this in your
config.tomlmake sure to set Hugo’sdisableHugoGeneratorInject=trueand also[params] disableGeneratorVersion=true, otherwise Hugo will generate a meta tag into your home page automagically. -
New Creation of your project gets a little bit faster with this release.
This addresses increased build time with the 5.x releases. The theme now heavily caches partial results leading to improved performance. To further increase performance, unnecessary parts of the page are now skipped for creation of the print output (eg. menus, navigation bar, etc.).
5.5.0 (2022-11-06)
-
Change The way images are processed has changed. Now images are lazy loaded by default which speeds up page load on slow networks and/or big pages and also the print preview.
For that the JavaScript code to handle the lightbox and image effects on the client side was removed in favour for static generation of those effects on the server.
If you have used HTML directly in your Markdown files, this now has the downside that it doesn’t respect the effect query parameter anymore. In this case you have to migrate all your HTML
imgURLs manually to the respective HTML attributes.Old New <img src="pic.png?width=20vw&classes=shadow,border"><img src="pic.png" style="width:20vw;" class="shadow border">
5.4.0 (2022-11-01)
-
Change With the proper settings in your
config.tomlyour page is now servable from the local file system usingfile://URLs.Please note that the searchbox will only work for this if you reconfigure your outputformat for the homepage in your
config.tomlfromJSONtoSEARCH. The now deprecatedJSONoutputformat still works as before, so there is no need to reconfigure your installation if it is only served fromhttp://orhttps://. -
Change The
buttonshortcode has a new parametertargetto set the destination frame/window for the URL to open. If not given, it defaults to a new window/tab for external URLs or is not set at all for internal URLs. Previously even internal URLs where opened in a new window/tab. -
New The
mathshortcode andmermaidshortcode now also support thealignparameter if codefence syntax is used. -
New Support for languages that are written right to left (like Arabic). This is only implemented for the content area but not the navigation sidebar. This feature is not available in Internet Explorer 11.
-
New Translation into Finnish (Suomi).
5.3.0 (2022-10-07)
-
Change In the effort to comply with WCAG standards, the implementation of the collapsible menu was changed. The functionality of the new implementation does not work with old browsers (Internet Explorer 11).
-
New Image formatting has two new classes to align images to the
leftorright. Additionally, the already existinginlineoption is now documented. -
New Printing for the
swaggershortcode was optimized to expand sections that are usually closed in interactive mode. This requires print support to be configured.
5.2.0 (2022-08-03)
- Change If you’ve set
collapsibleMenu = truein yourconfig.toml, the menu will be expanded if a search term is found in a collapsed submenu. The menu will return to its initial collapse state once the search term does not match any submenus.
5.1.0 (2022-07-15)
-
0.95.0 This release requires a newer Hugo version.
-
Change Because the print preview URLs were non deterministic for normal pages in comparison to page bundles, this is now changed. Each print preview is now accessible by adding a
index.print.htmlto the default URL.You can revert this behavior by overwriting the PRINT output format setting in your
config.tomlto:[outputFormats] [outputFormats.PRINT] name= "PRINT" baseName = "index" path = "_print" isHTML = true mediaType = 'text/html' permalinkable = false
5.0.0 (2022-07-05)
-
Breaking The theme changed how JavaScript and CSS dependencies are loaded to provide a better performance. In case you’ve added own JavaScript code that depends on the themes jQuery implementation, you have to put it into a separate
*.jsfile (if not already) and add thedeferkeyword to thescriptelement. Eg.<script defer src="myscript.js"></script> -
Change The way archetypes are used to generate output has changed. The new systems allows you, to redefine existing archetypes or even generate your own ones.
Your existing markdown files will still work like before and therefore you don’t need to change anything after the upgrade. Nevertheless, it is recommended to adapt your existing markdown files to the new way as follows:
-
for your home page, add the frontmatter parameter
archetype = "home"and remove the leading heading -
for all files containing the deprecated frontmatter parameter
chapter = true, replace it witharchetype = "chapter"and remove the leading headings
-
-
Change The frontmatter options
pre/postwere renamed tomenuPre/menuPost. The old options will still be used if the new options aren’t set. Therefore you don’t need to change anything after the upgrade. -
New Adding new partials
heading-pre.html/heading-post.htmland according frontmatter optionsheadingPre/headingPostto modify the way your page`s main heading gets styled. -
New The new shortcode
mathis available to add beautiful math and chemical formulae. See the documentation for available features. This feature will not work with Internet Explorer 11.
4.2.0 (2022-06-23)
-
Breaking The second parameter for the
includeshortcode was switched in meaning and was renamed fromshowfirstheadingtohidefirstheading. If you haven’t used this parameter in your shortcode, the default behavior hasn’t changed and you don’t need to change anything.If you’ve used the second boolean parameter, you have to rename it and invert its value to achieve the same behavior.
-
Change Previously, if the
tabsshortcode could not find a tab item because, the tabs ended up empty. Now the first tab is selected instead. -
Change The
landingPageURLwas removed fromconfig.toml. You can safely remove this as well from your configuration as it is not used anymore. The theme will detect the landing page URL automatically and will point to the project’s homepage. If you want to support a different link, overwrite thelogo.htmlpartial. -
New All shortcodes can now be also called from your partials. Examples for this are added to the documentation of each shortcode.
4.1.0 (2022-06-12)
- New While fixing issues with the search functionality for non Latin languages, you can now configure to have multiple languages on a single page.
4.0.0 (2022-06-05)
-
Breaking The
custom_cssconfig parameter was removed from the configuration. If used in an existing installation, it can be achieved by overriding thecustom-header.htmltemplate in a much more generic manner. -
Breaking Because anchor hover color was not configurable without introducing more complexity to the variant stylesheets, we decided to remove
--MAIN-ANCHOR-colorinstead. You don’t need to change anything in your custom color stylesheet as the anchors now get their colors from--MAIN-LINK-colorand--MAIN-ANCHOR-HOVER-colorrespectively. -
New All shortcodes now support named parameter. The positional parameter are still supported but will not be enhanced with new features, so you don’t need to change anything in your installation.
-
New The
buttonshortcode received some love and now has a parameter for the color style similar to other shortcodes. -
New New colors
--PRIMARY-colorand--SECONDARY-colorwere added to provide easier modification of your custom style. Shortcodes with a color style can now haveprimaryorsecondaryas additional values.These two colors are the default for other, more specific color variables. You don’t need to change anything in your existing custom color stylesheets as those variables get reasonable default values.
-
New Translation into Polish. This language is not supported for search.
-
New The documentation for all shortcodes were revised.
3.4.0 (2022-04-03)
-
Breaking If you had previously overwritten the
custom-footer.htmlpartial to add visual elements below the content of your page, you have to move this content to the new partialcontent-footer.html.custom-footer.htmlwas never meant to contain HTML other than additional styles and JavaScript. -
New If you prefer expandable/collapsible menu items, you can now set
collapsibleMenu=truein yourconfig.toml. This will add arrows to all menu items that contain sub menus. The menu will expand/collapse without navigation if you click on an arrow. -
New You can activate print support in your
config.tomlto add the capability to print whole chapters or even the complete site. -
New Translation into Traditional Chinese.
3.3.0 (2022-03-28)
-
New Introduction of new CSS variables to set the font. The theme distinguishes between
--MAIN-fontfor all content text and--CODE-fontfor inline or block code. There are additional overrides for all headings. See the theme variant generator of the exampleSite for all available variables. -
New The new shortcode
swaggeris available to include a UI for REST OpenAPI specifications. See the documentation for available features. This feature will not work with Internet Explorer 11.
3.2.0 (2022-03-19)
-
0.93.0 This release requires a newer Hugo version.
-
Change In this release the Mermaid JavaScript library will only be loaded on demand if the page contains a Mermaid shortcode or is using Mermaid codefences. This changes the behavior of
disableMermaidconfig option as follows: If a Mermaid shortcode or codefence is found, the option will be ignored and Mermaid will be loaded regardlessly.The option is still useful in case you are using scripting to set up your graph. In this case no shortcode or codefence is involved and the library is not loaded by default. In this case you can set
disableMermaid=falsein your frontmatter to force the library to be loaded. See the theme variant generator of the exampleSite for an example. -
New Additional color variant variable
--MERMAID-themeto set the variant’s Mermaid theme. This causes the Mermaid theme to switch with the color variant if it defers from the setting of the formerly selected color variant.
3.1.0 (2022-03-15)
- New
attachmentandnoticeshortcodes have a new parameter to override the default icon. Allowed values are all Font Awesome 5 Free icons.
3.0.0 (2022-02-22)
-
Breaking We made changes to the menu footer. If you have your
menu-footer.htmlpartial overridden, you may have to review the styling (eg. margins/paddings) in your partial. For a reference take a look into themenu-footer.htmlpartial that is coming with the exampleSite.This change was made to allow your own menu footer to be placed right after the so called prefooter that comes with the theme (containing the language switch and Clear history functionality).
-
Breaking We have changed the default colors from the original Learn theme (the purple menu header) to the Relearn defaults (the light green menu header) as used in the official documentation.
This change will only affect your installation if you’ve not set the
themeVariantparameter in yourconfig.toml. If you still want to use the Learn color variant, you have to explicitly setthemeVariant="learn"in yourconfig.toml.Note, that this will also affect your site if viewed with Internet Explorer 11 but in this case it can not be reconfigured as Internet Explorer does not support CSS variables.
-
Change Due to a bug, that we couldn’t fix in a general manner for color variants, we decided to remove
--MENU-SEARCH-BOX-ICONS-colorand introduced--MENU-SEARCH-colorinstead. You don’t need to change anything in your custom color stylesheet as the old name will be used as a fallback. -
Change For consistency reasons, we renamed
--MENU-SEARCH-BOX-colorto--MENU-SEARCH-BORDER-color. You don’t need to change anything in your custom color stylesheet as the old name will be used as a fallback. -
New With this release you are now capable to define your own dark mode variants.
To make this possible, we have introduced a lot more color variables you can use in your color variants. Your old variants will still work and don’t need to be changed as appropriate fallback values are used by the theme. Nevertheless, the new colors allow for much more customization.
To see what’s now possible, see the new variants
relearn-darkandneonthat are coming with this release. -
New To make the creation of new variants easier for you, we’ve added a new interactive theme variant generator. This feature will not work with Internet Explorer 11.
-
New You can now configure multiple color variants in your
config.toml. In this case, the first variant is the default chosen on first view and a variant switch will be shown in the menu footer. See the documentation for configuration.Note, that the new variant switch will not work with Internet Explorer 11 as it does not support CSS variables. Therefore, the variant switcher will not be displayed with Internet Explorer 11.
2.9.0 (2021-11-19)
-
Breaking This release removes the themes implementation of
ref/relrefin favor for Hugos standard implementation. This is because of inconsistencies with the themes implementation. In advantage, your project becomes standard compliant and exchanging this theme in your project to some other theme will be effortless.In a standard compliant form you must not link to the
*.mdfile but to its logical name. You’ll see, referencing other pages becomes much easier. All three types result in the same reference:Type Non-Standard Standard Branch bundle basics/configuration/_index.mdbasics/configurationLeaf bundle basics/configuration/index.mdbasics/configurationPage basics/configuration.mdbasics/configurationIf you’ve linked from a page of one language to a page of another language, conversion is a bit more difficult but Hugo got you covered as well.
Also, the old themes implementation allowed refs to non-existing content. This will cause Hugos implementation to show the error below and abort the generation. If your project relies on this old behavior, you can reconfigure the error handling of Hugos implementation.
In the best case your usage of the old implementation is already standard compliant and you don’t need to change anything. You’ll notice this very easily once you’ve started
hugo serverafter an upgrade and no errors are written to the console.You may see errors on the console after the update in the form:
ERROR 2021/11/19 22:29:10 [en] REF_NOT_FOUND: Ref "basics/configuration/_index.md": "hugo-theme-relearn\exampleSite\content\_index.en.md:19:22": page not foundIn this case, you must apply one of two options:
-
Start up a text editor with regular expression support for search and replace. Search for
(ref\s+"[^"]*?)(?:/_index|/index)?(?:\.md)?(#[^"]*?)?"and replace it by$1$2"in all*.mdfiles. This is the recommended choice. -
Copy the old implementation files
theme/hugo-theme-relearn/layouts/shortcode/ref.htmlandtheme/hugo-theme-relearn/layouts/shortcode/relref.htmlto your own projectslayouts/shortcode/ref.htmlandlayouts/shortcode/relref.htmlrespectively. This is not recommended as your project will still rely on non-standard behavior afterwards.
-
2.8.0 (2021-11-03)
-
Change Although never officially documented, this release removes the font
Novacento/Novecento. If you use it in an overwritten CSS please replace it withWork Sans. This change was necessary as Novacento did not provide all Latin special characters and lead to mixed styled character text eg. for Czech. -
New The theme now supports favicons served from
static/images/named asfaviconorlogoin SVG, PNG or ICO format out of the box. An overridden partiallayouts/partials/favicon.htmlmay not be necessary anymore in most cases. -
New You can hide the table of contents menu for the whole site by setting the
disableTocoption in yourconfig.toml. For an example see the example configuration.
2.7.0 (2021-10-24)
- New Optional second parameter for
noticeshortcode to set title in box header.
2.6.0 (2021-10-21)
- New Your site can now be served from a subfolder if you set
baseURLandcanonifyURLs=truein yourconfig.toml. See the documentation for a detailed example.
2.5.0 (2021-10-08)
- Change New colors
--CODE-BLOCK-colorand--CODE-BLOCK-BG-colorwere added to provide a fallback for Hugos syntax highlighting in caseguessSyntax=trueis set. Ideally the colors are set to the same values as the ones from your chosen chroma style.
2.4.0 (2021-10-07)
-
Change Creation of customized stylesheets was simplified down to only contain the CSS variables. Everything else can and should be deleted from your custom stylesheet to assure everything works fine. For the predefined stylesheet variants, this change is already included.
-
New Hidden pages are displayed by default in their according tags page. You can now turn off this behavior by setting
disableTagHiddenPages=truein yourconfig.toml. -
New You can define the expansion state of your menus for the whole site by setting the
alwaysopenoption in yourconfig.toml. Please see further documentation for possible values and default behavior. -
New New frontmatter
ordersectionsbyoption to change immediate children sorting in menu andchildrenshortcode. Possible values aretitleorweight. -
New Alternate content of a page is now advertised in the HTML meta tags. See Hugo documentation.
2.3.0 (2021-09-13)
-
0.81.0 This release requires a newer Hugo version.
-
New Showcase multilanguage features by providing a documentation translation “fer us pirrrates”. There will be no other translations besides the original English one and the Pirates one due to maintenance constraints.
2.2.0 (2021-09-09)
- New Hidden pages are displayed by default in the sitemap generated by Hugo and are therefore visible for search engine indexing. You can now turn off this behavior by setting
disableSeoHiddenPages=truein yourconfig.toml.
2.1.0 (2021-09-07)
-
0.69.0 This release requires a newer Hugo version.
-
Change In case the site’s structure contains additional *.md files not part of the site (eg files that are meant to be included by site pages - see
CHANGELOG.mdin the exampleSite), they will now be ignored by the search. -
New Hidden pages are indexed for the site search by default. You can now turn off this behavior by setting
disableSearchHiddenPages=truein yourconfig.toml. -
New If a search term is found in an
expandshortcode, the expand will be opened. -
New The menu will scroll the active item into view on load.
2.0.0 (2021-08-28)
-
Change Syntax highlighting was switched to the built in Hugo mechanism. You may need to configure a new stylesheet or decide to roll you own as described on in the Hugo documentation
