Hugo version update!

Okay, so I maybe fell behind...

So, if you were looking closely at the page source, you might have noticed that I was still using hugo 53.

The current version of hugo, at time of writing, is 115.

I had previously experimented with 79 and a few other newer versions, but because I was using someone else’s theme that hadn’t updated, there was… something… broken that I never quite figured out and didn’t feel like debugging their code.

Look, I’m sure the people who made my own theme had their own reasons for splitting almost every line into a separate partial that could be reused on a tag by tag basis. I can’t quite figure out what it was, because it was split across 5 directories, but I’m sure it was there.

what changed

For the curious, the main changes were:

• .RSSLink is no longer a valid variable, need to use .OutputFormats.get "rss" instead
• For some reason, .Data.Pages "type" "post" doesn’t return anything anymore, but .Site.Pages "type" "post" returns the old value. I’m sure if I dig through changelogs there’s an explanation. I don’t really care.

I took this opportunity to also add the cute “Description” banner, as you’ll see if you clicked on this post. Or any post, I suppose. That reminded me that I needed to style blockquotes in general, so they’re subtly different. They should grab attention more than the description (which should be something you’ve already seen) does.
