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 }}`

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
    • Fix pagination URL for resources with “.” in name #2110 #2374 #1885
    • Handle taxonomy names with period #3169
    • Handle uglyURLs ambiguity in Permalink #3102
    • Fix Permalink for language-roots wrong when uglyURLs is true #3179
    • Fix misc case issues for URLs #1641
    • Fix for taxonomies URLs when uglyUrls=true #1989
    • Fix empty RSSLink for list pages with content page. #3131
  • Correctly identify regular pages on the form “my_index_page.md” #3234
  • Exit -1 on ERROR in global logger #3239
  • Document hugo help command #2349
  • Fix internal Hugo version handling for bug fix releases. #3025
  • Only return RSSLink for pages that actually have a RSS feed. #1302

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 instagram shortcode panic on invalid ID #3048
  • Fix subtle data race in getJSON #3045
  • Fix deadlock in cached partials #2935
  • Avoid double-encoding of paginator URLs #2177
  • Allow tilde in URLs #2177
  • Fix .Site.Pages handling on live reloads #2869
  • UniqueID now correctly uses the fill file path from the content root to calculate the hash, and is finally … unique!
  • Discard current language based on .Lang(), go get translations correct for paginated pages. #2972
  • 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

Docs

  • Add tutorial “How to use Google Firebase to host a Hugo site” #3007

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

Documentation Updates

  • Update roadmap #2666
  • Update multilingual example #2417
  • Add a “Deployment with rsync” tutorial page #2658
  • Refactor /docs to use the block keyword #2226
