make sure, that hexo s and hexo g are in sync and take care about the meta tags in < head >, before introducing any new features, please.

see here: #2503

[mnlbox]

Please work on performance and multi core support on hexo server and hexo generate. I have major problem with big site generation in Hexo like this: #2579

[NoahDragon]

@mnlbox Yes, it will be the major update in 4.0 build.

[kirkcameron]

any news, regarding the release date, especially for #2503 ?

[NoahDragon]

@kirkcameron Not yet. The server calls the render function is as same as the generator, don't have clue why causes the differences.
