UNRELEASED: this planned version is still under development

For the full list of changes, see the 0.x.y release notes.

Breaking changes:

• Renames the default Docsy heading render hook and heading self-link partials. This is a breaking change only if your project uses this feature. For details, see Heading self links (#2223).

Potential breaking changes:

• Removes shortcode figure, hugo’s built-in shortcode figure can/will be used instead.

New:

• Breadcrumb navigation support has been enhanced and adjusted:
  • You can now disable breadcrumbs for an entire project, or individual pages or sections by setting ui.breadcrumb_disable to true. For details, see Breadcrumb navigation.
  • Blog pages now also have breadcrumbs by default (#1788).
  • Index-page single-element breadcrumb lists are hidden by default (#2160).
• Support for a td-content-after-header.html page-content render hook, which can be content type specific (#2192).

Other changes:

0.11.0

For the full list of changes, see the 0.11.0 release notes.

New: color themes and dark-mode support! For details, see Color themes and dark-mode support.

Breaking changes:

• Removes shortcode card-code that was deprecated in 0.7.0; use shortcode card with named parameter code=true instead.

0.9.1

Patch release. For details, see 0.9.1.

0.9.0

For an introduction and commentary, see the 0.9.0 release report. For the full list of commits, see the 0.9.0 release notes. The most significant changes of this release are listed next.

Breaking changes:

• Repository Links now work for multi-language sites (#1744).

  For any given page, repository links are now computed from a page’s resolved File path — as resolved through mount points, if any. That is, the path used is the one that refers to the file’s actual location on disk, not it’s logical path in Hugo’s union file system.

  This is a breaking change for pages of sites that use mounts and path_base_for_github_subdir. Projects will need to adjust the value of path_base_for_github_subdir to be relative to the file’s physical location.

• Class names to disable repository links were misnamed with a suffix of the form --KIND. The new suffix is __KIND. For details, see Disabling links.

• Heading self-link support has been reimplemented and projects must now explicitly enable the feature. For details, see Heading self links.

Footer changes: refactoring, for easier customization, and simplification. For details concerning all footer changes, see #1818.

• Footer layout has been factored into parts: left, right, and center, with copyright a subpart of center. For details see Footer layout
• Footer copyright, supports date-range, and site copyright fallback. For details, see Footer copyright.
• Footer streamlined: the About-page footer link and All-rights-reserved text are now hidden by default. For details, see Footer streamlined.

Other changes:

• The latest release of Mermaid resources are now fetched at build time (#1410).
• Look and feel updates.

0.8.0

For the full list of changes, see the 0.8.0 release notes.

Breaking changes:

• Docsy is packaged as a single Hugo module (#1120). For details, see Use Docsy as a Hugo Module.
• Important: non-Hugo-module projects should be aware of the Docsy NPM install side-effect. Also, for guidance on Hugo-reported “failed to load modules” error, see Docsy as an NPM package.
• Page feedback, or User feedback:
  • In support of projects configuring analytics outside of Docsy, feedback functionality is enabled regardless of whether site.Config.Services.GoogleAnalytics.ID is set (#1727).
  • Feedback-event attribute changes (#1726):
    • Event name is page_helpfulrather thanclick
    • Event value for “yes” is 100 by default, rather than 1, allowing for more response options in the future. To override the default set params.ui.feedback.max_value.
• SCSS: @function prepend() and file assets/scss/support/_functions.scss have been dropped. Instead use the more general SASS/SCSS list join() function (#1385).

0.7.2

    • Dropped $primary-light
    • Dropped color-diff()
    • Dropped bg-gradient-variant() mixin (#1369)
  • Docsy’s RTL support has been removed because it is incompatible with BSv5. For progress on the reintroduction of RTL support, see #1442.

  • Card shortcodes (#1376)]:
    • Renamed CSS class td-card-deck to td-card-group.
    • card, card-code: markup of inner content (HTML/markdown) now depends on the syntax of the calling shortcode, not on extension of page file any more #906.
    • card-code is deprecated; use card with named parameter code=true instead.

• Detection of draw.io diagrams is now disabled by default #1185

Other changes:

• $list-inline-padding is increased in support of footer icons (#1523). If this global adjustment is a problem for your project, let us know and we can contextualize the adjustment to the footer.
• Non-breaking changes that result from the Bootstrap v5 upgrade:
  • Draw.io diagram edit button: replaced custom colors by BS’s outline primary.

0.6.0

For the full list of changes, see the 0.6.0 release notes.

With this release we declare a feature freeze while we migrate to the newest Bootstrap version. See the announcement for more information.

New:

• Simplified use of mermaid diagrams: when using a mermaid code block on your page, mermaid is now automatically enabled (needs hugo version >= 0.93.0). For existing sites build with hugo 0.93.0+, parameter mermaid.enable can be removed from site config.

• Add render hook for chem code blocks: add auto-activation of math and chem blocks via KateX and mhchem. Support for formula rendering activation on individual pages only. Hugo version >= 0.93.0 required.

0.5.1

For the full list of changes, see the 0.5.1 release notes. BREAKING CHANGES are documented below.

After you update your project’s Docsy:

• Update your project setup (see 0.4.0) if you haven’t already.
• Run npm install.

New:

• Projects can now install and use Docsy as an NPM package.

Breaking changes:

• Tabbed panes, text display. By default, the content of a tab inside a tabbed pane is shown as code. As of version 0.4 of the shortcode, you can add the parameter code=false to your tabpane or tab shortcode in order to render tab content(s) as text (markdown or html). As of version 0.5 the name of this parameter was changed, we now use text=true in order to mark content as text.
• Display logo by default. Most projects show their logo in the navbar. In support of this majority, Docsy now displays a logo by default. For details on how to hide the logo (or your brand name), see Styling your project logo and name.
• Upgraded Bootstrap to v4.6.2 from v4.6.1, resulting in some style changes (such as an adjustment in the size of small). For details, see v4.6.2 release notes.
• Upgraded FontAwesome to v6 from v5. While many icons were renamed, the v5 names still work. For details about icon renames and more, see What’s changed.
• Search-box: the HTML structure and class names have changed, due to the Font Awesome upgrade, for both online and offline search. This may affect your project if you have overridden search styling or scripts.

Other changes:

• By default, Docsy now uses the gtag.js analytics library for all site tags. For details, see Adding Analytics > Setup.

0.5.0

Unpublished.

0.4.0

For the full list of changes, see the 0.4.0 release notes. Potential BREAKING CHANGES are documented below.

After you update your project’s Docsy, run npm install.

Update your project setup

If your project uses Docsy as follows:

• Hugo Module, then this change doesn’t impact you.
• For other Docsy setups, this is a BREAKING CHANGE – read on.

Docsy now fetches Bootstrap and FontAwesome as NPM packages rather than git submodules. This has an impact on your project-build setup. To migrate your site, follow these steps (execute commands from your project’s root directory):

1. Delete obsolete Docsy Git submodules:

   git rm themes/docsy/assets/vendor/Font-Awesome
   git rm themes/docsy/assets/vendor/bootstrap
   

   These commands remove the submodules from Git’s tracking, from the .gitmodules file, and deletes the submodule files under themes/docsy/assets/vendor.
2. Get Docsy dependencies:

   (cd themes/docsy && npm install)
   

3. Update your build scripts to fetch Docsy dependencies automatically. For example, if your site build uses NPM scripts, consider getting Docsy dependencies via a prepare script as follows:

   {
     "name": "my-website",
     "scripts": {
       "prepare": "cd themes/docsy && npm install",
       "...": "..."
     },
     "...": "..."
   }
   

4. (Optional) Build script cleanup. If your project uses Docsy as a git submodule, Docsy updates no longer require the --recursive flag when running git submodule update. Consider dropping the flag if you have no other recursive git submodules.

Proceed as usual to build or serve your site.

0.3.0

For the full list of changes, see the 0.3.0 release notes.

Breaking changes:

• Upgrade to Algolia DocSearch v3. If your site uses the deprecated DocSearch v2, you must update your DocSearch code.
• (Edit) #1009 inadvertently changed the base Bootstrap styles for cards, as well as the Docsy highlight style. For details, see issue #1154. Release 0.5.1 includes a fix.

0.2.0

For the full list of changes, see the 0.2.0 release notes.

New:

• Add official Docsy support for Hugo modules. Many thanks to the dedicated and patient efforts of @deining, who researched, experimented, and implemented this feature. Thanks to @deining and @LisaFC for the doc updates.

  For details, see Migrate to Hugo Modules.
