Hydejack v4 adds a lot of social media icons and introduces a new default layout. It also breaks things, hence a new major release number.

Breaking

• Structure of _config.yml has changed
  • Social media usernames are now located under author: social: <platform>: <username>.
  • disqus is now a top-level entry (moved from author).
  • Now has font, font_accent and google_fonts fields that are mandatory.
• Now defaults to the blog layout, old style is available via blog-by-tag layout, see archive.html.

NOTE: This post is outdated and only included for legacy reasons. See the Documentation for up-to-date instructions.

New features

• Added a lot of social media icons, configurable via _config.yml.
• New blog layout. Classic, paginated.
• Fonts are configurable via _config.yml.

Design

• Link underlines are now fixed-sized for all font sizes (no thicker lines for headlines, etc)

Fixes

• Correctly set the meta description field using either the description field or post.excerpt as a fallback (used to contain the unmodified markdown).
• Fixed various URL bugs relating to site.baseurl.

Internal

• Refactoring, preventing code duplications, heavier usage of includes.
