7.4.0 (XXXX-XX-XX)

Change

  • Change The target parameter of the button shortcode was deprecated.

    Use link effects on the href parameter instead. You don’t need to change anything as the old parameter still works but may generate warnings.

New

  • New The theme now allows page references (given as pageRef of a Hugo menu item, pageRef parameter of a sidebarmenus entry and the menuPageRef in a page’s front matter) to also be global resources from your assets directory.

  • New If link.errorlevel is configured, now also page references will be checked for existence.

  • New It is now possible to add query parameter and an optional fragment part to all links. This is regardless whether it is a local or remote address and also applies to Hugo’s internal path.

    By that you can now use it on Markdown links and image links, page references and buttons.

  • New This release introduces link effects which work similar to image effects and can be set as query parameter on any link.

    With that you currently can specify

    • a link target individually for each link
    • that a link should result in a file download in your browser

  • New You can now configure an ignore list of addresses that should be ignored if an errorlevel test fails. This is configured by setting errorignore=[] globally in your hugo.toml for all errorlevel checks.

    This helps to remove false negatives while still benefitting from the check for all other addresses.

  • New The theme supports the new source output format which behaves similar in configuration as the markdown output format but allows the original Markdown source including the front matter of a page to be viewed.

    You can see this in action on the above linked page, accessible by clicking the topbar button.

  • New If you haven’t overridden layouts/partials/custom-header.html and css/custom.css and/or js/custom.js is present in your project, the theme now adds them to your pages.

    This was done to be compatible with adding custom scripts in an older version of the Hugo documentation.

  • New The logo color is now configurable via the --MENU-HEADER-color variable in your variant stylesheets.

  • New Table headers are sticky now.
