6.0.0 (2024-04-27)

Breaking

  • Breaking This release requires you to move your self-defined variant (theme-*.css) and chroma stylesheets (chroma-*.css) from static/css to assets/css.

    This was necessary to avoid permission errors on build if running in certain Unix configurations.

    In addition it is not allowed anymore to @import your chroma stylesheet from inside of your variant stylesheet.

    Say, your chroma stylesheet is named chroma-monokai.css, you have to add the following inside your variant stylesheet:

    --CODE-theme: monokai;
  • Breaking The parameter description in your hugo.toml will now be ignored.

    With the newly introduced unified handling of descriptions throughout the theme, the only place the old parameter would have been used was your home page.

    For migration, move the description parameter of your hugo.toml into the front matter section of your home page.

  • Breaking Search support for the json outputformat deprecated in 5.4.0 was removed.

    Change it to search for the homepage in your hugo.toml. See the docs for detailed configuration.

  • Breaking The front matter option menuTitle deprecated in 5.24.0 was removed in favor for Hugo’s own linkTitle.

    Additionally, if set, linkTitle will now be used instead of title to generate the breadcrumb.

  • Breaking The swagger shortcode deprecated in 5.13.0 was removed in favor for the openapi shortcode with the same set of parameter.

  • Breaking Support for Internet Explorer 11 was finally dropped.

Change

  • Change With the removal of support for Internet Explorer 11, Font Awesome was upgraded to version 6.5.2.

    You may experience slight changes for some icons. In addition you have additional ~1700 icons to chose from.

  • Change The children shortcode was fixed to adhere to its documentation, generating the description based on this rule: When no description or summary exists for the page, the first 70 words of the content is taken.

    Previously, the summary erroneously was ignored which now can lead to different output if you set description=true as a parameter.

New

  • New The include shortcode is now able to resolve links to resources as well as to files in the file system (the old behavior). You can configure to generate warnings or errors during build by setting include.errorlevel to either warning or error in your hugo.toml if a path can not be resolved.

  • New Math is now usable without enclosing it in a shortcode or Markdown codefence by using Hugo’s passthrough configuration.

  • New Translation into Romanian.
