 ## Unreleased version
 - BREAKING CHANGE: Allow changing the order of the social network links that appear in the footer (#1152)

+- Added explicit support for favicons, you only need to add a `favicon.ico` file to the root directory
 - The footer of a page always sticks to the bottom, even on short pages (#576)
 - Added `author` YAML parameter to allow specifying the author(s) of a post (#1220)
 - Fixed bug where hovering over search results showed the text "{desc}" (#1156)
