Update from NexT v5.1.x

There are no hard breaking changes between 5.1.x and 6.0.x versions. It's change major version to 6 because:

  1. Main repo was rebased from iissnan's profile to theme-next organization.
  2. Most libraries under the next/source/lib directory was moved out to external repos under NexT organization.
  3. 3rd-party plugin hexo-wordcount was replaced by hexo-symbols-count-time because hexo-symbols-count-time no have any external nodejs dependencies, no have language filter which causes better performance on speed at site generation.

So, i suggest to update from version 5 to version 6 in this way:

  1. You don't touch old next dir and just do some copies of NexT files:
    1.1. config.yml or next.yml (if you used data-files).
    1.2. Custom CSS styles what placed in next/source/css/_custom/* and next/source/css/_variables/* directories.
    1.3. Custom layout styles what placed in next/layout/_custom/*.
    1.4. Any another possible custom additions which can be finded by compare tools between repos.
  2. Clone new v6.x repo to any another directory instead of next. For example, in next-reloaded directory: git clone https://github.com/theme-next/hexo-theme-next themes/next-reloaded. So, you don't touch your old NexT 5.1.x directory and can work with new next-reloaded dir.
  3. Go to Hexo main config and set theme parameter: theme: next-reloaded. So, your next-reloaded directory must loading with your generation. If you may see any bugs or you simply not like this version, you anytime can switch for 5.1.x version back.
