Quo vadis? The port of the original Alabaster theme has replicated nearly all of its features. A few are still missing, but I've good news: the Hugo community is actively working on this issues. Maybe with the next release of Hugo we can abandon this list. Stay tuned.
Planned features
Localization
Currently, it is possible to collect all strings in a single place for easy customization. However, this only enables you to define all strings in a single language. This approach is quite limiting in terms of localization support. Therefore, I decided to wait for a native integration. This way we can avoid a second setup of all strings in your website.
Keep an eye on #1734.
Search
Beside third-party services, some hacky workarounds and Grunt-/Gulp-based scripts that only require unnecessary dependencies, future versions of Hugo will support the generation of a content index as a core feature.
Keep an eye on #1853.
Styling options
The original theme allowed users to customize the layout directly from the configuration. There is a similar idea that tries to template CSS stylesheets - this means every stylesheet would be treat as a template that can access the values from your config file.
Keep an eye on #1431.
