Cap'n Hugo 0.126.3

• 0.126.3 This release requires a newer Cap'n Hugo version.

Break'n

• Break'n This release provides compatibility fer Cap'n Hugo 0.146.0 or newer an' required t' make some break'n changes t' internal file structur'n.

  Ye will be affected by this if ye

  • call dependencies.gotmpl from yer own templates. Th' theme will now generate a warning. Call dependencies.html instead.
  • use plank designs. Th' underly'n rrrambl'n views aren’t allowed t' be stored 'n subdirectories anymore. Ye have t' move them up one level.
  • use self-defined output formats.

• Break'n Search got much more flex'ble 'n its configurat'n but may requires changes by ye.

  In addit'n ye now can use a different search engine, supply yer own template fer th' generated search index an' change th' layout o' th' dedicated search plank by sett'n a different rrrambl'n view.

Change

• Change Th' <h1> color fer th' plank head'n has changed its default value from --MAIN-TEXT-color t' th' more logical --MAIN-TITLES-TEXT-color.

  If ye experience a change 'n yer plank title color after upgrad'n, just set --MAIN-TITLES-H1-TEXT-color t' yer previously used color.

• Change For th' children shortcode th' final default value if parameter sort=auto an' no ordersectionsby sett'n was found has changed from weight t' default.

  If yer weights be all correctly set ye will not recognize a difference. If ye have duplicate weights on a level or have not set weights at all while sort'n should happen by weight, this change will lead t' a deterministic order while previously it didn’t.

New

• New Th' theme has updated its Merrrmaid dependency t' 11.8.0. This adds support fer radar graphs an' treemaps.
