modules/blox/v0.12.0

HugoBlox v0.12.0

Requires Hugo ≥ v0.158 <= v0.159

✨ New Blocks

• dev-hero — A developer-focused hero section with animated entrance, social links, and scroll-to-content CTA
• portfolio — Filterable project grid with category tabs, live/demo/code links, and configurable item counts
• tech-stack — Display your technology stack with icons and grouping
• columns footer — Multi-column footer layout with navigation links and social icons

🚀 Features

Generate a custom theme for your site at https://hugoblox.com/theme

• Blocks converted to React (Preact) — hero, features, stats, testimonials, cta-card, and cta-image-paragraph are now interactive Preact components. Existing page content YAML is fully compatible — no migration needed.
• Font packs — 7 new built-in font packs you can select in your theme config: modern (default), academic, developer, editorial, geometric, humanist, and system (zero network requests)
• Auto-detect bundled fonts — If your font files are bundled locally, HugoBlox automatically skips the Google Fonts CDN
• Enhanced footer — The default minimal footer now supports social icons and navigation links
• Expanded brands icon pack — Major update with thousands of additional brand icons
• Multilingual — Added Hindi (hi) locale; significantly expanded translations for Bengali, German, Spanish, Indonesian, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional)
• Multilingual author data — Author profiles now support per-language data files
• Markdown Slides — Ported the Markdown Slides template from the legacy Wowchemy/Bootstrap
• CJK ruby annotations — Re-implemented pronunciation annotations for Chinese/Japanese/Korean names in biography blocks
• Improved og:image / JSON-LD — Uses get_featured_image partial consistently for better social sharing previews
• Block CSS co-location — Block-specific .css files are auto-discovered via the Tailwind pipeline (create custom Tailwind classes for your blocks)
• Author name casing — Entered author names now preserve their original casing and links, even when profiles are missing
• Hide pager on root pages — Pagination is automatically hidden on top-level pages

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fix biography spacing and implement show_status avatar option
• Fix off-center icons in the Features block
• Fix portfolio filter count, "View All" logic, and status badge configuration
• Fix team-showcase sorting, portrait layout, and header alignment
• Fix sidebar visibility in docs layouts
• Fix event date filtering with event_start / event_end fields
• Fix markdown rendering and emoji in summary/bio fields
• Fix SVG image handling in responsive image processing
• Fix double-unescaping vulnerability in Icon SVG decoder (CWE-116)
• Fix grid reflow jump on portfolio filter transitions
• Restore missing background design features in the v3 block parser
• Fix cta-image-paragraph template syntax errors, variable scoping, and layout
• Fix mailto: share links to use proper URL encoding per RFC 6068

⚠️ Breaking Changes

1. Hugo minimum version → v0.158.0

This release requires Hugo v0.158 or v0.159. Update Hugo before upgrading:

# Homebrew
brew upgrade hugo

# Or download from https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases

2. hide_date renamed to show_date

The frontmatter field hide_date: true has been replaced with show_date: false for consistency with all other display toggles (show_*).

How to migrate: In any content file where you previously used hide_date:

  ---
  title: My Page
- hide_date: true
+ show_date: false
  ---

If you never used hide_date, no action is needed — dates are shown by default.

v0.11.0: The Modernization Update

v0.11 is a major architectural milestone that aligns HugoBlox with modern Hugo standards, streamlines configuration, and introduces the HugoBlox Studio for visual editing.

Warning

Breaking Changes: This release introduces a clean break from v0.10 to support the latest Hugo features. A full migration is required.

📖 Read the v0.11 Migration Guide for automated scripts and step-by-step instructions.

📦 Repo & Module Renames

We have renamed the repository and core modules to be cleaner and more intuitive. You must update your go.mod and config/_default/modules.yaml.

• Repo: github.com/HugoBlox/hugo-blox-builder → github.com/HugoBlox/kit
• Core Module: modules/blox-tailwind → modules/blox

Old Module	New Module
blox-tailwind	blox
blox-plugin-netlify	modules/integrations/netlify
blox-plugin-reveal	modules/slides
blox-analytics	modules/analytics

✨ What's New

🎨 HugoBlox Studio

We are deprecating Decap CMS in favor of HugoBlox Studio—a dedicated VS Code extension that offers a visual editor, live preview, and an AI-powered assistant and "Fix-It" bot for your content.

⚡️ Modern Configuration

• Unified Namespace: All HugoBlox parameters now live under a single hugoblox namespace in your config.
• Intuitive Naming: Terminology has been updated for clarity (e.g., branding is now identity).
• Standardized Events: Event pages now use namespaced parameters (event_start, event_end) to avoid conflicts with Hugo's native date field.

👤 Data-Driven Author Profiles

Author profiles have moved from content/authors/ to a data-driven system in data/authors/, making them easier to manage and reference across your site.

🛠 Upgrading

We have developed an automated tool to help you migrate content and configuration.

# Install the CLI tool
pip install hugoblox-cli

# Run migration scripts
hbx migrate v0.11.0-authors
hbx migrate v0.11.0-events
