newimprovementfix

4 new themes, 2026 design refresh, math/LaTeX rendering, AVIF image format, and SEO improvements.

4 New Bundled Themes

  • Landing: Light SaaS landing page theme with Fraunces/Outfit fonts. Hero section, feature cards with accent borders, 4-column stats grid, testimonial blocks, asymmetric post grid
  • Terminal: Dark terminal aesthetic with IBM Plex Mono, green accent (#00ff41), scanline effects, blinking cursor, monospace throughout
  • Magazine: Editorial newspaper theme with Playfair Display/Source Serif 4/DM Sans. 3-column article grid, full-width lead article, editorial masthead with diamond dividers
  • Academic: Tufte-inspired scholarly theme with EB Garamond serif. Narrow reading column (60%), small-caps section headings, sidenote-style footnotes, section symbols

2026 Design Refresh for All Themes

Every bundled theme upgraded with:

  • Google Fonts: Each theme gets a distinctive typeface: Outfit (default), Lora (minimal), Sora (dark), IBM Plex Sans/Mono (docs), Archivo + DM Mono (brutalist), Manrope (bento)
  • Homepage content styles: Rich .homepage-content CSS for landing pages with styled headings, stat grids, blockquotes, and feature lists
  • Safe DOM search: Search JavaScript rewritten to use createElement/textContent/appendChild instead of innerHTML

Math/LaTeX Rendering

  • New math = true option in [build] config enables server-side KaTeX rendering
  • $inline$ and $$display$$ math delimiters are rendered to HTML during the markdown pipeline
  • KaTeX CSS automatically loaded from CDN when math is enabled
  • Code blocks and inline code spans are correctly skipped
  • All 6 bundled themes include conditional KaTeX CSS and .katex-display overflow handling
  • Available when built with the math feature flag (enabled by default)

AVIF Image Format

  • New avif = true option in [images] config enables AVIF variant generation
  • Configurable AVIF quality via avif_quality (default: 70, since AVIF compresses better than WebP)
  • AVIF source inputs (.avif files) now accepted in the image pipeline
  • <picture> elements emit <source type="image/avif"> before WebP for optimal compression
  • Uses the image crate's ravif backend for pure-Rust AVIF encoding

SEO/GEO Improvements

  • Skip loading="lazy" on first image per page to preserve LCP performance
  • Improved AI crawler management in robots.txt: allow search crawlers, block training crawlers

Fixes

  • Fixed test_self_update_check integration test that failed without network access: now uses --target-version to avoid network dependency in CI
