BREAKING: In a minority of cases syntax updates may break apps running in very old browsers (such as Internet Explorer), or apps that build Docsify in a custom way with old build tools. To upgrade, build Docsify for older browsers in a custom way, or update existing build tools to handle newer syntax.
DEPRECATED: `$docsify.themeColor` is deprecated and will be eventually removed, use a `--theme-color` CSS variable in your style sheet.
BREAKING: SSR removed
Anyone depending on SSR will need to stay on an old Docsify version for
now, move forward without SSR, or maintain SSR against a fork of updated
Docsify. We have ideas on a better way to implement SSR, but these ideas
have not been implemented yet.
* updated german links
* fixed links where `QingWei-Li` should've been `docsifyjs`
* naturally excluded donate links and links to private projects like `vuep` unrelated to docsify
