      api_key: ''

Templates:

• Renamed the Notes template to Second Brain

Hugo Compatibility

• Tested with Hugo Extended 0.101.0 (recommended)

Breaking Changes

Join us on Discord for help upgrading a site.

• Rename .Params.cover to .Params.image and .Params.cover.image to .Params.image.filename (mainly if you are using the Notes template)
• The Slides plugin (aka Reveal.JS plugin) now lives in its own module so it can be used without the Wowchemy Bootstrap UI module

If your site uses the slides plugin to create Markdown slide decks, install the plugin in your config.yaml:

module:
  imports:
    - path: github.com/wowchemy/wowchemy-hugo-themes/modules/wowchemy-plugin-reveal
