This release makes including third party plugins easier. Until now, the push state approach to loading new pages has been interfering with embedded script
tags. This version changes this by simulating the sequential loading of script tags on a fresh page load.
Hydejack has always featured a JavaScript-heavy sidebar, but other than that, JS has been used sparingly. This changes with this release, which adds a ton of (optional) code that changes the feel of the theme dramatically.
This major release increases page load speed dramatically. The page now scores roughly 90/100 on Google’s PageSpeed Insights (up from ~50) and has a high score on similar tools.
Hydejack v4 adds a lot of social media icons and introduces a new default layout. It also breaks things, hence a new major release number.
Breaking
- Structure of
_config.yml
has changed- Social media usernames are now located under
author: social: <platform>: <username>
. disqus
is now a top-level entry (moved from author
).- Now has
font
, font_accent
and google_fonts
fields that are mandatory.
- Now defaults to the
blog
layout, old style is available via blog-by-tag
layout, see archive.html
.
Unlike Hyde, Hydejack is very opinionated about how you are going to use it.
Features

Hyde is a brazen two-column Jekyll theme that pairs a prominent sidebar with uncomplicated content. It’s based on Poole, the Jekyll butler.
