v2.9.0
minVersion
The most important change is the theme updating it's minVersion to Hugo 0.84.0 from Hugo 0.64.0.
This is never a light decision and the last time we did it was January of last year! But in order to maintain retro-compatibility, sometimes you do have to upgrade... (Read about the motivation here)
While this might not break your site yet (unless you're running 0.67.1 or lower), it's strongly encouraged to upgrade your project to Hugo 0.84.0 or newer.
Localization
Dates
If you're using Hugo 0.87.0 and above, the project's dates can be localized using Hugo's date formatting layouts as date_format parameter
Language Direction
The theme now supports language direction with a layer of dedicated CSS. It also adds the dir attribute on the HTML if languageDirection is set.
Other
- Japanese localization has been added.
- The "By {author}" string is now localized. Except for language where it's not applicable, in which case it's absent.
- more localization fixes are listed below.
