v5.4.0

A BIG shoutout to all the sponsors and contributors who supported this release 🙌🏻

What's Changed

• a simpler variation of the About widget (widget: about.avatar)
  • even add your status/mood as an emoji on your avatar ☕️
  • example in the Blog template
• new shortcode to display a CSV file as a table (docs)
  • now you can render CSV files (e.g. MS Excel, Pandas) as tables in your pages in addition to rendering tables from Markdown or Google Sheets
• (finally!) localized dates (e.g. Chinese sites now also display dates in Chinese), facilitated by Hugo 0.87+
• video backgrounds in widgets (example in the Fitness Coach template)
  • simply upload an (optimized) video, such as intro.mp4, to your assets/media/ folder and then add it as a background in a content/home/ widget:

    design:
      background:
        video:
          path: intro.mp4
          flip: false
    

• support for rCAPTCHA in Formspree forms (#2377)
• don't index private pages (where front matter private: true)
• migrate from CDNJS to JSDelivr due to CDNJS issues in China
• a Booking widget to enable visitors to book appointments with you (for sponsors)
  • great for coaching or appointment based services, such as a professor enabling students to easily schedule appointments with them, for example 👩🏻‍🎓
