v0.20.2

0.20.2 April 16th 2017

Hugo 0.20.2 adds support for plain text partials included into HTML templates. This was a side-effect of the big new Custom Output Format feature in 0.20, and while the change was intentional and there was an ongoing discussion about fixing it in #3273, it did break some themes. There were valid workarounds for these themes, but we might as well get it right.

The most obvious use case for this is inline CSS styles, which you now can do without having to name your partials with a html suffix.

A simple example:

In layouts/partials/mystyles.css:

body {
	background-color: {{ .Param "colors.main" }}
}

Then in config.toml (note that by using the .Param lookup func, we can override the color in a page’s front matter if we want):

[params]
[params.colors]
main = "green"
text = "blue"

And then in layouts/partials/head.html (or the partial used to include the head section into your layout):

<head>
    <style type="text/css">
    {{ partial "mystyles.css" . | safeCSS }}
    </style>
</head>

Of course, 0.20 also made it super-easy to create external CSS stylesheets based on your site and page configuration. A simple example:

Add “CSS” to your home page’s outputs list, create the template /layouts/index.css using Go template syntax for the dynamic parts, and then include it into your HTML template with:

{{ with  .OutputFormats.Get "css" }}
<link rel="{{ .Rel }}" type="{{ .MediaType.Type }}" href="{{ .Permalink |  safeURL }}">
{{ end }}`

v0.20

0.20 April 10th 2017

Hugo 0.20 introduces the powerful and long sought after feature Custom Output Formats; Hugo isn’t just that “static HTML with an added RSS feed” anymore. Say hello to calendars, e-book formats, Google AMP, and JSON search indexes, to name a few ( #2828 ).

This release represents over 180 contributions by over 30 contributors to the main Hugo code base. Since last release Hugo has gained 1100 stars, 20 new contributors and 5 additional themes.

Hugo now has:

16300+ stars
495+ contributors
156+ themes

@bep still leads the Hugo development with his witty Norwegian humor, and once again contributed a significant amount of additions. Also a big shoutout to @digitalcraftsman for his relentless work on keeping the documentation and the themes site in pristine condition, and @moorereason and @bogem for their ongoing contributions.

Other Highlights

@bogem has also contributed TOML as an alternative and much simpler format for language/i18n files (#3200). A feature you will appreciate when you start to work on larger translations.

Also, there have been some important updates in the Emacs Org-mode handling: @chaseadamsio has fixed the newline-handling ( #3126 ) and @clockoon has added basic footnote support.

Worth mentioning is also the ongoing work that @rdwatters and @budparr is doing to re-do the gohugo.io site, including a total restructuring and partial rewrite of the documentation. It is getting close to finished, and it looks fantastic!

Notes

RSS description in the built-in template is changed from full .Content to .Summary. This is a somewhat breaking change, but is what most people expect from their RSS feeds. If you want full content, please provide your own RSS template.
The deprecated .RSSlink is now removed. Use .RSSLink.
RSSUri is deprecated and will be removed in a future Hugo version, replace it with an output format definition.
The deprecated .Site.GetParam is now removed, use .Site.Param.
Hugo does no longer append missing trailing slash to baseURL set as a command line parameter, making it consistent with how it behaves from site config. #3262

Enhancements

Hugo 0.20 is built with Go 1.8.1.
Add .Site.Params.mainSections that defaults to the section with the most pages. Plan is to get themes to use this instead of the hardcoded blog in where clauses. #3206
File extension is now configurable. #320
Impove markdownify template function performance. #3292
Add taxonomy terms’ pages to .Data.Pages #2826
Change RSS description from full .Content to .Summary.
Ignore “.” dirs in hugo --cleanDestinationDir #3202
Allow jekyll import to accept both 2006-01-02 and 2006-1-2 date format #2738
Raise the default rssLimit #3145
Unify section list vs single template lookup order #3116
Allow apply to be used with the built-in Go template funcs print, printf and println. #3139

Fixes

Fix deadlock in getJSON #3211
Make sure empty terms pages are created. #2977
Fix base template lookup order for sections #2995
URL fixes:
- Fix pagination URLs with baseURL with sub-root and canonifyUrls=false #1252

v0.19

0.19 February 27th 2017

We’re happy to announce the first release of Hugo in 2017.

This release represents over 180 contributions by over 50 contributors to the main Hugo code base. Since last release Hugo has gained 1450 stars, 35 new contributors and 15 additional themes.

Hugo now has:

15200+ stars
470+ contributors
151+ themes

Furthermore, Hugo has its own Twitter account (@gohugoio) where we share bite-sized news and themes from the Hugo community.

@bep leads the Hugo development and once again contributed a significant amount of additions. Also a big shoutout to @chaseadamsio for the Emacs Org-mode support, @digitalcraftsman for his relentless work on keeping the documentation and the themes site in pristine condition, @fj for his work on revising the params handling in Hugo, and @moorereason and @bogem for their ongoing contributions.

Highlights

Hugo 0.19 brings native Emacs Org-mode content support ( #1483 ), big thanks to @chaseadamsio.

Also, a considerably amount of work have been put into cleaning up the Hugo source code, in an issue titled Refactor the globals out of site build. This is not immediately visible to the Hugo end user, but will speed up future development.

Hugo 0.18 was bringing full-parallel page rendering, so workarounds depending on rendering order did not work anymore, and pages with duplicate target paths (common examples would be /index.md or /about/index.md) would now conflict with the home page or the section listing.

With Hugo 0.19, you can control this behaviour by turning off page types you do not want ( #2534 ). In its most extreme case, if you put the below setting in your config.toml, you will get nothing!:

disableKinds = ["page", "home", "section", "taxonomy", "taxonomyTerm", "RSS", "sitemap", "robotsTXT", "404"]

Other New Features

Add ability to sort pages by frontmatter parameters, enabling easy custom “top 10” page lists. #3022
Add truncate template function #2882
Add now function, which replaces the now deprecated .Now #2859
Make RSS item limit configurable #3035

Enhancements

Enhance .Param to permit arbitrarily nested parameter references #2598
Use Page.Params more consistently when adding metadata #3033
The sectionPagesMenu feature (“Section menu for the lazy blogger”) is now integrated with the section content pages. #2974
Hugo 0.19 is compiled with Go 1.8!
Make template funcs like findRE and friends more liberal in what argument types they accept #3018 #2822
Improve generation of OpenGraph date tags #2979

Notes

sourceRelativeLinks is now deprecated and will be removed in Hugo 0.21 if no one is stepping up to the plate and fixes and maintains this feature. #3028

Fixes

Fix .Site.LastChange on sites where the default sort order is not chronological. #2909
Fix regression of .Truncated evaluation in manual summaries. #2989
Fix preserveTaxonomyNames regression #3070
Fix issue with taxonomies when only some have content page #2992

Fix infinite loop in template AST handling for recursive templates #2927
Fix issue with watching when config loading fails #2603
Correctly flush the imageConfig on live-reload #3016
Fix parsing of TOML arrays in frontmatter #2752

v0.18

0.18.0 December 19th 2016

Today, we’re excited to release the much-anticipated Hugo 0.18!

We’re heading towards the end of the year 2016, and we can look back on three releases and a steady growing community around the project. This release includes over 220 contributions by nearly 50 contributors to the main codebase. Since the last release, Hugo has gained 1750 stars and 27 additional themes.

Hugo now has:

13750+ stars
408+ contributors
137+ themes

@bep once again took the lead of Hugo and contributed a significant amount of additions. Also a big shoutout to @digitalcraftsman for his relentless work on keeping the documentation and the themes site in pristine condition, and also a big thanks to @moorereason and @bogem for their contributions.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The Hugo team

Highlights

The primary new feature in Hugo 0.18 is that every piece of content is now a Page ( #2297 ). This means that every page, including the home page, can have a content file with frontmatter. Not only is this a much simpler model to understand, it is also faster and paved the way for several important new features:

Enable proper titles for Nodes #1051
Sitemap.xml should include nodes, as well as pages #1303
Document homepage content workaround #2240
Allow home page to be easily authored in markdown #720
Minimalist website with homepage as content #330

Hugo again continues its trend of each release being faster than the last. It’s quite a challenge to consistently add significant new functionality and simultaneously dramatically improve performance. Running this benchmark with these sites (renders to memory) shows about 60% reduction in time spent and 30% reduction in memory usage compared to Hugo 0.17.

Other New Features

Every Page now has a Kind property. Since everything is a Page now, the Kind is used to differentiate different kinds of pages. Possible values are page, home, section, taxonomy, and taxonomyTerm. (Internally, we also define RSS, sitemap, robotsTXT, and 404, but those have no practical use for end users at the moment since they are not included in any collections.)
Add a GitInfo object to Page if enableGitInfo is set. It then also sets Lastmod for the given Page to the author date provided by Git. #2291
Implement support for alias templates #2533
New template functions:
Add imageConfig function #2677
Add sha256 function #2762
Add partialCached template function #1368
Add shortcode to display Instagram images #2690
Add noChmod option to disable perm sync #2749
Add quiet build mode #1218

Notices

.Site.Pages will now contain several kinds of pages, including regular pages, sections, taxonomies, and the home page. If you want a specific kind of page, you can filter it with where and Kind. .Site.RegularPages is a shortcut to the page collection you have been used to getting.
RSSlink is now deprecated. Use RSSLink instead. Note that in Hugo 0.17 both of them existed, so there is a fifty-fifty chance you will not have to do anything (if you use a theme, the chance is close to 0), and RSSlink will still work for two Hugo versions.

Fixes

Revise the base template lookup logic so it now better matches the behavior of regular templates, making it easier to override the master templates from the theme #2783
Add workaround for block template crash. Block templates are very useful, but there is a bug in Go 1.6 and 1.7 which makes the template rendering crash if you use the block template in more complex scenarios. This is fixed in the upcoming Go 1.8, but Hugo adds a temporary workaround in Hugo 0.18. #2549
All the Params configurations are now case insensitive #1129 #2590 #2615
Make RawContent raw again #2601
Fix archetype title and date handling #2750
Fix TOML archetype parsing in hugo new #2745
Fix page sorting when weight is zero #2673
Fix page names that contain dot #2555
Fix RSS Title regression #2645
Handle ToC before handling shortcodes #2433
Only watch relevant themes dir #2602
Hugo new content creates TOML slices with closing bracket on new line #2800

Improvements

Add page information to error logging in rendering #2570
Deprecate RSSlink in favor of RSSLink
Make benchmark command more useful #2432
Consolidate the Param methods #2590
Allow to set cache dir in config file
Performance improvements:
Avoid repeated Viper loads of sectionPagesMenu #2728
Avoid reading from Viper for path and URL funcs #2495
Add partialCached template function. This can be a significant performance boost if you have complex partials that does not need to be rerendered for every page. #1368

Update roadmap #2666
Update multilingual example #2417

v0.17

v0.17

Hugo is going global with our 0.17 release. We put a lot of thought into how we could extend Hugo to support multilingual websites with the most simple and elegant experience. Hugo’s multilingual capabilities rival the best web and documentation software, but Hugo’s experience is unmatched. If you have a single language website, the simple Hugo experience you already love is unchanged. Adding additional languages to your website is simple and straightforward. Hugo has been completely internally rewritten to be multilingual aware with translation and internationalization features embedded throughout Hugo.

Hugo continues its trend of each release being faster than the last. It’s quite a challenge to consistently add significant new functionality and simultaneously dramatically improve performance. @bep has made it his personal mission to apply the Go mantra of “Enable more. Do less” to Hugo. Hugo’s consistent improvement is a testament to his brilliance and his dedication to his craft. Hugo additionally benefits from the performance improvements from the Go team in the Go 1.7 release.

This release represents over 300 contributions by over 70 contributors to the main Hugo code base. Since last release Hugo has gained 2000 stars, 50 new contributors and 20 additional themes.

Hugo now has:

12,000 stars on GitHub
370+ contributors
110+ themes

@bep continues to lead the project with the lionshare of contributions and reviews. A special thanks to @bep and @abourget for their considerable work on multilingual support.

A big welcome to newcomers @MarkDBlackwell , @bogem and @g3wanghc for their critical contributions.

Highlights

Multilingual Support: Hugo now supports multiple languages side-by-side. A single site can now have multiple languages rendered with full support for translation and i18n.

Performance: Hugo is faster than ever! Hugo 0.17 is not only our fastest release, it’s also the most efficient. Hugo 0.17 is nearly twice as fast as Hugo 0.16 and uses about 10% less memory. This means that the same site will build in nearly half the time it took with Hugo 0.16. For the first time Hugo sites are averaging well under 1ms per rendered content.

Docs overhaul: This release really focused on improving the documentation. Gohugo.io is more accurate and complete than ever.

Support for macOS Sierra

v0.16

0.16.0 June 6th 2016

Hugo 0.16 is our best and biggest release ever. The Hugo community has outdone itself with continued performance improvements, beautiful themes for all types of sites from project sites to documentation to blogs to portfolios, and increased stability.

This release represents over 550 contributions by over 110 contributors to the main Hugo codebase. Since last release Hugo has gained 3500 stars, 90 contributors and 23 additional themes.

This release celebrates 3 years since @spf13 wrote the first lines of Hugo. During those 3 years Hugo has accomplished some major milestones including…

10,000+ stars on GitHub
320+ contributors
90+ themes
1000s of happy websites
Many subprojects like @spf13/cobra , @spf13/viper and @spf13/afero which have experienced broad usage across the Go ecosystem.

@bep led the development of Hugo for the 3rd consecutive release with nearly half of the contributions to 0.16 in addition to his considerable contributions as lead maintainer. @anthonyfok , @DigitalCraftsman , @MooreReason all made significant contributions. A special thanks to @abourget for his considerable work on multilingual support. Due to its broad impact we wanted to spend more time testing it and it will be included in Hugo’s next release.

Highlights

Partial Builds: Prior to this release Hugo would always reread and rebuild the entire site. This release introduces support for reactive site building while watching (hugo server). Hugo will watch the filesystem for changes and only re-read the changed files. Depending on the files change Hugo will intelligently re-render only the needed portion of the site. Performance gains depend on the operation performed and size of the site. In our testing build times decreased anywhere from 10% to 99%.

Template Improvements: Template improvements continue to be a mainstay of each Hugo release. Hugo 0.16 adds support for the new block keyword introduced in Go 1.6 – think base templates with default sections – as well as many new template functions.

Polish: As Hugo matures releases will inevitably contain fewer huge new features. This release represents hundreds of small improvements across ever facet of Hugo which will make for a much better experience for all of our users. Worth mentioning here is the curious bug where live reloading didn’t work in some editors on OS X, including the popular TextMate 2. This is now fixed. Oh, and now any error will exit with an error code, a big thing for automated deployments.

New Features

Support reading configuration variables from the OS environment #2090

v0.15

6faf1d0

v0.15 Pre-release

Pre-release

The v0.15.0 Hugo release brings a lot of polish to Hugo. Exactly 6 months after the 0.14 release, Hugo has seen massive growth and changes. Most notably, this is Hugo's first release under the Apache 2.0 license. With this license change we hope to expand the great community around Hugo and make it easier for our many users to contribute. This release represents over 377 contributions by 87 contributors to the main Hugo repo and hundreds of improvements to the libraries Hugo uses. Hugo also launched a new theme showcase and participated in Hacktoberfest.

Hugo now has:

6700 (+2700) stars on GitHub
235 (+75) contributors
65 (+30) themes

Template Improvements: This release takes Hugo to a new level of speed and usability. Considerable work has been done adding features and performance to the template system which now has full support of Ace, Amber and Go Templates.

Hugo Import: Have a Jekyll site, but dreaming of porting it to Hugo? This release introduces a new hugo import jekyllcommand that makes this easier than ever.

Performance Improvements: Just when you thought Hugo couldn't get any faster, Hugo continues to improve in speed while adding features. Notably Hugo 0.15 introduces the ability to render and serve directly from memory resulting in 30%+ lower render times.

Huge thanks to all who participated in this release. A special thanks to @bep who led the development of Hugo this release again, @anthonyfok, @eparis, @tatsushid and @DigitalCraftsman.

New features

new hugo import jekyll command. #1469
The new Param convenience method on Page and Node can be used to get the most specific parameter value for a given key. #1462
Several new information elements have been added to Page and Node:
- RuneCount: The number of runes in the content, excluding any whitespace. This may be a good alternative to .WordCount for Japanese and other CJK languages where a word-split by spaces makes no sense. #1266
- RawContent: Raw Markdown as a string. One use case may be of embedding remarkjs.com slides.
- IsHome: tells the truth about whether you're on the home page or not.

Improvements

hugo server now builds ~30%+ faster by rendering to memory instead of disk. To get the old behavior, start the server with --renderToDisk=true.
Hugo now supports dynamic reloading of the config file when watching.
We now use a custom-built LazyFileReader for reading file contents, which means we don't read media files in /content into memory anymore -- and file reading is now performed in parallel on multicore PCs. #1181

Notices

hugo server will watch by default now.
Some fields and methods were deprecated in 0.14. These are now removed, so the error message isn't as friendly if you still use the old values. So please change:
- getJson to getJSON, getCsv to getCSV, safeHtml to
  safeHTML, safeCss to safeCSS, safeUrl to safeURL, Url to URL,
  UrlPath to URLPath, BaseUrl to BaseURL, Recent to Pages.

Known Issues

Using the Hugo v0.15 32-bit Windows or ARM binary, running hugo server would crash or hang due to a memory alignment issue in Afero. The bug was discovered shortly after the v0.15.0 release and has since been fixed by @tpng. If you encounter this bug, you may either compile Hugo v0.16-DEV from source, or use the following solution/workaround:

64-bit Windows users: Please use hugo_0.15_windows_amd64.zip (amd64 == x86-64). It is only the 32-bit hugo_0.15_windows_386.zip that crashes/hangs (see #1621 and #1628).
32-bit Windows and ARM users: Please run hugo server --renderToDisk as a workaround until Hugo v0.16 is released (see “hugo server” returns runtime error on armhf and #1716).

v0.14 Pre-release

Pre-release

The v0.14.0 Hugo release brings of the most demanded features to Hugo. The foundation of Hugo is stabilizing nicely and a lot of polish has been added. We’ve expanded support for additional content types with support for AsciiDoc, Restructured Text, HTML and Markdown. Some of these types depend on external libraries as there does not currently exist native support in Go. We’ve tried to make the experience as seamless as possible. Look for more improvements here in upcoming releases.

A lot of work has been done to improve the user experience, with extra polish to the Windows experience. Hugo errors are more helpful overall and Hugo now can detect if it’s being run in Windows Explorer and provide additional instructions to run it via the command prompt.

The Hugo community continues to grow. Hugo has over 4000 stars on github, 165 contributors, 35 themes and 1000s of happy users. It is now the 5th most popular static site generator (by Stars) and has the 3rd largest contributor community.

This release represents over 240 contributions by 36 contributors to the main Hugo codebase.

Big shout out to @bep who led the development of Hugo this release, @anthonyfok, @eparis, @SchumacherFM, @RickCogley & @mdhender for their significant contributions and @tatsushid for his continuous improvements to the templates. Also a big thanks to all the theme creators. 11 new themes have been added since last release and the hugoThemes repo now has previews of all of them.

Hugo also depends on a lot of other great projects. A big thanks to all of our dependencies inclding:
cobra, viper, blackfriday, pflag, HugoThemes, BurntSushi/Toml, goYaml, and the Go standard library.

Notices

What to do should be obvious by the build log; getJson to getJSON, getCsv to getCSV, safeHtml to safeHTML, safeCss to safeCSS, safeUrl to safeURL, Url to URL, UrlPath to URLPath, BaseUrl to BaseURL, Recent to Pages, Indexes to Taxonomies.
