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

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 aKind
property. Since everything is aPage
now, theKind
is used to differentiate different kinds of pages. Possible values arepage
,home
,section
,taxonomy
, andtaxonomyTerm
. (Internally, we also defineRSS
,sitemap
,robotsTXT
, and404
, but those have no practical use for end users at the moment since they are not included in any collections.) - Add a
GitInfo
object toPage
ifenableGitInfo
is set. It then also setsLastmod
for the givenPage
to the author date provided by Git. #2291 - Implement support for alias templates #2533
- New template functions:
- 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 withwhere
andKind
..Site.RegularPages
is a shortcut to the page collection you have been used to getting.RSSlink
is now deprecated. UseRSSLink
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), andRSSlink
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 ofRSSLink
- Make benchmark command more useful #2432
- Consolidate the
Param
methods #2590 - Allow to set cache dir in config file
- Performance improvements:
Documentation Updates
- Update roadmap #2666
- Update multilingual example #2417
- Add a “Deployment with rsync” tutorial page #2658
- Refactor
/docs
to use theblock
keyword #2226
0.17.0 October 7th 2016
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

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 code base. 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.

0.15.0 November 25, 2015
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 jekyll
command 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 onPage
andNode
can be used to get the most specific parameter value for a given key. #1462 - Several new information elements have been added to
Page
andNode
: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. #1266RawContent
: 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.

. Now, the first character is made toupper, but the rest are preserved as-is. #1176 - Hugo now removes superfluous p-tags around shortcodes. #1148
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

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 ).
0.14.0 May 25, 2015
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 including: cobra, viper, blackfriday, pflag, HugoThemes, BurntSushi, goYaml, and the Go standard library.
