Breaking Changes

Minimal correct support for NexT is Hexo v3.5.0 for now.

It's not actually breaking changes, just after this version highly recommend to use NexT with at least Hexo v3.5.0 or higher for avoid all possible bugs.

Hexo v3.5.0 also provides:

  • Replaced swig by swig-templates to mitigate uglifyjs 2.4 security vulnerability: hexojs/hexo#2949
  • Additional templates support which will be used in next NexT releases.

P.S. You can still use old Hexo versions, but NexT will not guarantee in future releases for correct rendering.

Old configuration:

footer:
-  powered: true

New configuration:

footer:
  powered:

    enable: true
    # Version info of Hexo after Hexo link (vX.X.X).
    version: true

Refactored post_meta.updated_at option & replaced updated_diff by another_day option (#223, #228)

Old configuration:

  item_text: true

- # Only show 'updated' if different from 'created'.
- updated_diff: false
- # If true, post's time format will be hexo config's date_format + ' ' + time_format.
- date_time_merge: false

New configuration:

post_meta:
  item_text: true
  created_at: true
  updated_at:
    enabled: true
    # If true, show updated date label only if `updated date` different from 'created date' (post edited in another day than was created).
    # And if post will edited in same day as created, edited time will show in popup title under created time label.
    # If false show anyway, but if post edited in same day, show only edited time.
