9.0.0 (2026-01-01)

Cap'n Hugo

  • Cap'n Hugo When th' theme introduced compatibility wit' Cap'n Hugo 0.146.7 it had t' remove a performance optimizat'n due t' a limitat'n 'n Hugo. This was later fixed 'n Hugo 0.149.0.

    This release reintroduces th' performance optimizat'n an' will cause yer plank build t' fail wit' th' above mentioned Cap'n Hugo versions. Ye either need t' upgrade or downgrade Cap'n Hugo t' an unaffected version.

Break'n

  • Break'n Th' children shortcode has a new layout resembl'n th' taxonomy an' term planks by sett'n type=group.

    Sadly, introduc'n usage o' th' shortcode 'n th' taxonomy an' term planks (see below) caused necessary break'n changes

    • th' shortcode now requires enabl'n block attributes 'n yer hugo.toml by sett'n marrrkup.goldmark.parser.attribute.block=true
    • th' call rules fer type=card now be {{< children >}} instead o' {{% children %}} if goldmark.unsafe=false be configured 'n yer hugo.toml (which be th' default)

    In addit'n th' shortcode learned some new parameter fer display'n breadcrumbs an' sett'n a head'n depth.

Change

  • Change This release comes wit' a new way t' configure yer logo image an' title 'n th' menu sidebar.

    Wit' th' new system ye can

    • rely on auto detect'n fer an image
    • remove th' image completely
    • override th' image fer each variant
    • set color, sizes an' fonts fer title an' image
    • let th' image an' title lay out vertically or horizontally
    • override th' complete layout wit' yer own partial (that’s th' old way an' still works)

    Nevertheless, this required massive changes t' th' CSS an' most likely yer logo will require tweak'n o' th' CSS styles after an update.

    Th' easiest way t' fix this be t' remove a overridden layouts/partials/logo.html template 'n yer installat'n an' rely on th' new configurat'n.

  • Change Font Awesome was updated t' version 7.1.0 which results 'n slightly different ay'cons.

  • Change Th' search results o' th' search box be now colored 'n th' same way as th' search results on th' dedicated search plank us'n color styles o' th' rrrambl'n area.

  • Change Th' expand shortcode has changed its default text o' Expand me... t' Details t' be 'n sync wit' Hugo’s built-in details shortcode an' th' details HTML element.

New

  • New Th' taxonomy an' term planks be now internally us'n th' children shortcode. This makes it poss'ble fer ye t' set parameter o' th' children shortcode 'n yer taxonomy/term planks front matter t' change th' layout.

    By that ye can - fer example - display th' sub planks 'n a card layout. See th' categories taxonomy fer an example.

  • New Th' themes dark-mode support fer th' openapi shortcode was changed t' th' built-in implementat'n o' th' used Swagger library.
