- Switch from the Bootstrap grid system to the CSS grid. Much cleaner and faster.
- Add "See also" and "Links" to the list of translation strings
- Prevent the breadcrumb line from being included in the link endnotes when printing a page.
- Cleanup/rename several of the CSS and layout files for clarity.
- Switch the community page from using clumsy tables to a much cleaner approach
with shortcodes.
- Don't show buttons in the link endnotes when printing a page.
- Don't render the link endnotes section at all if the page has no links to include
- You can now mark a word as being a glossary term. This will trigger special rendering inviting the
user to click on the item in order to get a popup window showing the glossary text for the term. This
is very nice when introducing a new term within a page.
- Updated our dependency on Bootstrap and ClipboardJS to the latest versions.
- The width value now defaults to 100%, so it doesn't need to be specified explicitly
in many cases.
- The ratio value can now be computed automatically for PNG and JPG files, so it doesn't need
to be specified explicitly.
- Address rendering issue with text blocks nested in a tab that use
the magic @@ linking sequence.
- Made it so when selecting a tab in a particular tab set, other tabset
sharing the same cookie name on the current page will also switch to their
corresponding tab.
- The release note index page is now rendered as a simple list rather than the normal gallery mode.
- Fix use of toc: front-matter, which should be skip_toc instead.
- Readds the language selection menu choices.
- Enable default language choice based on browser setting. This is used before the menu
forces a particular choice.
- Auto-generate tables of template->adapters and adapter->templates
- Make the "Edit this page on GitHub" menu option track the branch correctly instead of always pointing to master.
- Update the reference docs.
Partner components (adapters not controlled by the Istio org) are now
called out as such on their page. Component authors have a chance to put
all sorts of info about their component to make it easy for customers
to find and use their component.
* Site improvements.
- For SVG images, authors no longer need to specify image ratios
(which is a constant source of errors)
- Move more icons into the new icons.svg file to further reduce
average page load times.
- Rationalize Istio logo file names.
- Improve underlining behavior for sidebar headers and the RSS feed
Subscribe link.
- Made the RSS feed subscribe link open in a new tab.
- Increase the constract ratio for some elements in dark mode
text blocks (namely, YAML field names)
- Reduce the "brightness" of the light bulb icon which helps it
not pop so much in dark mode.
- Optimize the fonts we load and the order we load them in so as to improve page load time and
reduce the initial render time.
* Sadly, embedding SVGs into the HTML results in duplicate element ids, which is invalid HTML :-(
- Use a new approach to managing icons. This has two primary benefits:
- It makes it possible to color the icons such that they look good in the
dark theme. Previously, the icons were rendered in black on dark grey when
using the dark theme.
- The average payload size for our web pages is reduced and we better use the
browser cache.
- The new icon approach makes it possible to remove our dependency on the fontawesome
package, which further slims down our payload requirement
- Refresh our iconography for a slightly lighter look.
- Remove the extra thick left-hand border of text blocks to lighten the
look.
- Added a "NN minutes to read" indication on top of each page. This is
only displayed if the count is > 1 minute.
- Added a calendar icon next to the blog post date.
- Exposed a bunch of strings that were buried in CSS/JS to translation.
- Add the 'keywords:' front-matter fields to the Hugo archetypes.
- When displaying a "Changes" button, we now display a diff from the previous patch to the current
patch, instead of a diff from the base release to the current patch.
- Properly localize the release note buttons so these can be translated.
- Move some strings from the footer to the translation table so they can be translated.
- Use a custom search engine for the preliminary site, so the preliminary site can actually be searched.
- Improve a few shortcodes to improve how they work when nested in tabs.
- Move a few constants out of the layouts and into args.yml for cleanliness.
- Change how the RSS feed is generated in order to avoid a crashing bug in Hugo when
used in server mode.
- Prevent the OWNERS file from leaking into the generated site.
- Remove the release-specific wording on the main release note page and on the docs page. This
ends up being hard to keep correct and not really useful.
- Add a full_version variable in args.yml which contains the 3 part release version
such as 1.0.1. When we release a new patch, we need to update this number in the current
release branch.
- Apply the full_version variable to the download button on the home page. It will now say "DOWNLOAD 1.0.1".
