Hugo 0.126.3

• 0.126.3 This release requires a newer Hugo version.

Breaking

• Breaking This release provides compatibility for Hugo 0.146.0 or newer and required to make some breaking changes to internal file structuring.

  You will be affected by this if you

  • call dependencies.gotmpl from your own templates. The theme will now generate a warning. Call dependencies.html instead.
  • use page designs. The underlying content views aren’t allowed to be stored in subdirectories anymore. You have to move them up one level.
  • use self-defined output formats.

• Breaking Search got much more flexible in its configuration but may requires changes by you.

  In addition you now can use a different search engine, supply your own template for the generated search index and change the layout of the dedicated search page by setting a different content view.

Change

• Change The <h1> color for the page heading has changed its default value from --MAIN-TEXT-color to the more logical --MAIN-TITLES-TEXT-color.

  If you experience a change in your page title color after upgrading, just set --MAIN-TITLES-H1-TEXT-color to your previously used color.

• Change For the children shortcode the final default value if parameter sort=auto and no ordersectionsby setting was found has changed from weight to default.

  If your weights are all correctly set you will not recognize a difference. If you have duplicate weights on a level or have not set weights at all while sorting should happen by weight, this change will lead to a deterministic order while previously it didn’t.

New

• New The theme has updated its Mermaid dependency to 11.8.0. This adds support for radar graphs and treemaps.
