+# **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](https://gohugo.io/extras/output-formats/) feature in `0.20`, and while the change was intentional and there was an ongoing discussion about fixing it in {{< gh 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`:
+
+```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):
+
+```toml
+[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):
+
+```html
+<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:
+
+```html
+{{ with .OutputFormats.Get "css" }}
+<link rel="{{ .Rel }}" type="{{ .MediaType.Type }}" href="{{ .Permalink | safeURL }}">
+{{ end }}`
+```
+
+
+# **0.20.1** April 13th 2017
+Hugo `0.20.1` is a bug fix release, fixing some important regressions introduced in `0.20` a couple of days ago:
+
+* Fix logic for base template in work dir vs in the theme {{< gh 3323 >}}
+* camelCased templates (partials, shortcodes etc.) not found {{< gh 3333 >}}
+* Live-reload fails with `_index.md` with paginator {{< gh 3315 >}}
+* `rssURI` WARNING always shown {{< gh 3319 >}}
+
+See the [full list](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/milestone/16?closed=1).
+
+# **0.20** April 10th 2017
+
+Hugo `0.20` introduces the powerful and long sought after feature [Custom Output Formats]({{< ref "extras/output-formats.md" >}}); 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 ({{< gh 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
+
+{{< gh "@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 {{< gh "@digitalcraftsman" >}} for his relentless work on keeping the documentation and the themes site in pristine condition, and {{< gh "@moorereason" >}} and {{< gh "@bogem" >}} for their ongoing contributions.
+
+## Other Highlights
+
+{{< gh "@bogem" >}} has also contributed TOML as an alternative and much simpler format for language/i18n files ({{< gh 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: {{< gh "@chaseadamsio" >}} has fixed the newline-handling ({{< gh 3126 >}}) and {{< gh "@clockoon" >}} has added basic footnote support.
+
+Worth mentioning is also the ongoing work that {{< gh "@rdwatters" >}} and {{< gh "@budparr" >}} is doing to re-do the [gohugo.io](https://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. {{< gh 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. {{< gh 3206 >}}
+* File extension is now configurable. {{< gh 320 >}}
+* Impove `markdownify` template function performance. {{< gh 3292 >}}
+* Add taxonomy terms' pages to `.Data.Pages` {{< gh 2826 >}}
+* Change `RSS` description from full `.Content` to `.Summary`.
+* Ignore "." dirs in `hugo --cleanDestinationDir` {{< gh 3202 >}}
+* Allow `jekyll import` to accept both `2006-01-02` and `2006-1-2` date format {{< gh 2738 >}}
+* Raise the default `rssLimit` {{< gh 3145 >}}
+* Unify section list vs single template lookup order {{< gh 3116 >}}
+* Allow `apply` to be used with the built-in Go template funcs `print`, `printf` and `println`. {{< gh 3139 >}}
+
+## Fixes
+* Fix deadlock in `getJSON` {{< gh 3211 >}}
+* Make sure empty terms pages are created. {{< gh 2977 >}}
+* Fix base template lookup order for sections {{< gh 2995 >}}
+* `URL` fixes:
+ * Fix pagination URLs with `baseURL` with sub-root and `canonifyUrls=false` {{< gh 1252 >}}
+ * Fix pagination URL for resources with "." in name {{< gh 2110 >}} {{< gh 2374 >}} {{< gh 1885 >}}
+ * Handle taxonomy names with period {{< gh 3169 >}}
+ * Handle `uglyURLs` ambiguity in `Permalink` {{< gh 3102 >}}
+ * Fix `Permalink` for language-roots wrong when `uglyURLs` is `true` {{< gh 3179 >}}
+ * Fix misc case issues for `URLs` {{< gh 1641 >}}
+ * Fix for taxonomies URLs when `uglyUrls=true` {{< gh 1989 >}}
+ * Fix empty `RSSLink` for list pages with content page. {{< gh 3131 >}}
+* Correctly identify regular pages on the form "my_index_page.md" {{< gh 3234 >}}
+* `Exit -1` on `ERROR` in global logger {{< gh 3239 >}}
+* Document hugo `help command` {{< gh 2349 >}}
+* Fix internal `Hugo` version handling for bug fix releases. {{< gh 3025 >}}
+* Only return `RSSLink` for pages that actually have a RSS feed. {{< gh 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](https://twitter.com/gohugoio)) where we share bite-sized news and themes from the Hugo community.
+
+{{< gh "@bep" >}} leads the Hugo development and once again contributed a significant amount of additions. Also a big shoutout to {{< gh "@chaseadamsio" >}} for the Emacs Org-mode support, {{< gh "@digitalcraftsman" >}} for his relentless work on keeping the documentation and the themes site in pristine condition, {{< gh "@fj" >}}for his work on revising the `params` handling in Hugo, and {{< gh "@moorereason" >}} and {{< gh "@bogem" >}} for their ongoing contributions.
+
+## Highlights
+Hugo `0.19` brings native Emacs Org-mode content support ({{<gh 1483>}}), big thanks to {{< gh "@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](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/2701). 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 ({{<gh 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. {{<gh 3022 >}}
+* Add `truncate` template function {{<gh 2882 >}}
+* Add `now` function, which replaces the now deprecated `.Now` {{<gh 2859 >}}
+* Make RSS item limit configurable {{<gh 3035 >}}
+
+## Enhancements
+* Enhance `.Param` to permit arbitrarily nested parameter references {{<gh 2598 >}}
+* Use `Page.Params` more consistently when adding metadata {{<gh 3033 >}}
+* The `sectionPagesMenu` feature ("Section menu for the lazy blogger") is now integrated with the section content pages. {{<gh 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 {{<gh 3018 >}} {{<gh 2822 >}}
+* Improve generation of OpenGraph date tags {{<gh 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. {{<gh 3028 >}}
+
+## Fixes
+* Fix `.Site.LastChange` on sites where the default sort order is not chronological. {{<gh 2909 >}}
+* Fix regression of `.Truncated` evaluation in manual summaries. {{<gh 2989 >}}
+* Fix `preserveTaxonomyNames` regression {{<gh 3070 >}}
+* Fix issue with taxonomies when only some have content page {{<gh 2992 >}}
+* Fix instagram shortcode panic on invalid ID {{<gh 3048 >}}
+* Fix subtle data race in `getJSON` {{<gh 3045 >}}
+* Fix deadlock in cached partials {{<gh 2935 >}}
+* Avoid double-encoding of paginator URLs {{<gh 2177 >}}
+* Allow tilde in URLs {{<gh 2177 >}}
+* Fix `.Site.Pages` handling on live reloads {{<gh 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. {{<gh 2972 >}}
+* Fix infinite loop in template AST handling for recursive templates {{<gh 2927 >}}
+* Fix issue with watching when config loading fails {{<gh 2603 >}}
+* Correctly flush the imageConfig on live-reload {{<gh 3016 >}}
+* Fix parsing of TOML arrays in frontmatter {{<gh 2752 >}}
+
+## Docs
+* Add tutorial "How to use Google Firebase to host a Hugo site" {{<gh 3007 >}}
+* Improve documentation for menu rendering {{<gh 3056 >}}
+* Revise GitHub Pages deployment tutorial {{<gh 2930 >}}
+
+# **0.18.1** December 30th 2016
+
+Hugo 0.18.1 is a bug fix release fixing some issues introduced in Hugo 0.18:
+
+* Fix 32-bit binaries {{<gh 2847 >}}
+* Fix issues with `preserveTaxonomyNames` {{<gh 2809 >}}
+* Fix `.URL` for taxonomy pages when `uglyURLs=true` {{<gh 2819 >}}
+* Fix `IsTranslated` and `Translations` for node pages {{<gh 2812 >}}
+* Make template error messages more verbose {{<gh 2820 >}}
+
+# **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
+
+{{< gh "@bep" >}} once again took the lead of Hugo and contributed a significant amount of additions.
+Also a big shoutout to {{< gh "@digitalcraftsman" >}} for his relentless work on keeping the documentation and the themes site in pristine condition,
+and also a big thanks to {{< gh "@moorereason" >}} and {{< gh "@bogem" >}} for their contributions.
+
+We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.<br>
+*The Hugo team*
+
+## Highlights
+
+The primary new feature in Hugo 0.18 is that every piece of content is now a `Page` ({{<gh 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 {{<gh 1051>}}
+* Sitemap.xml should include nodes, as well as pages {{<gh 1303>}}
+* Document homepage content workaround {{<gh 2240>}}
+* Allow home page to be easily authored in markdown {{<gh 720>}}
+* Minimalist website with homepage as content {{<gh 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]( https://github.com/bep/hugo-benchmark) with [these sites](https://github.com/bep/hugo-benchmark/tree/master/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. {{<gh 2291>}}
+* Implement support for alias templates {{<gh 2533 >}}
+* New template functions:
+ * Add `imageConfig` function {{<gh 2677>}}
+ * Add `sha256` function {{<gh 2762>}}
+ * Add `partialCached` template function {{<gh 1368>}}
+* Add shortcode to display Instagram images {{<gh 2690>}}
+* Add `noChmod` option to disable perm sync {{<gh 2749>}}
+* Add `quiet` build mode {{<gh 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 {{<gh 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. {{<gh 2549>}}
+* All the `Params` configurations are now case insensitive {{<gh 1129>}} {{<gh 2590>}} {{<gh 2615>}}
+* Make RawContent raw again {{<gh 2601>}}
+* Fix archetype title and date handling {{<gh 2750>}}
+* Fix TOML archetype parsing in `hugo new` {{<gh 2745>}}
+* Fix page sorting when weight is zero {{<gh 2673>}}
+* Fix page names that contain dot {{<gh 2555>}}
+* Fix RSS Title regression {{<gh 2645>}}
+* Handle ToC before handling shortcodes {{<gh 2433>}}
+* Only watch relevant themes dir {{<gh 2602>}}
+* Hugo new content creates TOML slices with closing bracket on new line {{<gh 2800>}}
+
+
+## Improvements
+
+* Add page information to error logging in rendering {{<gh 2570>}}
+* Deprecate `RSSlink` in favor of `RSSLink`
+* Make benchmark command more useful {{<gh 2432>}}
+* Consolidate the `Param` methods {{<gh 2590>}}
+* Allow to set cache dir in config file
+* Performance improvements:
+ * Avoid repeated Viper loads of `sectionPagesMenu` {{<gh 2728>}}
+ * Avoid reading from Viper for path and URL funcs {{<gh 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. {{<gh 1368>}}
+
+## Documentation Updates
+
+* Update roadmap {{<gh 2666>}}
+* Update multilingual example {{<gh 2417>}}
+* Add a "Deployment with rsync" tutorial page {{<gh 2658>}}
+* Refactor `/docs` to use the `block` keyword {{<gh 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. {{<gh "@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
+
+{{<gh "@bep" >}} continues to lead the project with the lionshare of contributions
+and reviews. A special thanks to {{<gh "@bep" >}} and {{<gh "@abourget" >}} for their
+considerable work on multilingual support.
+
+A big welcome to newcomers {{<gh "@MarkDBlackwell" >}}, {{<gh "@bogem" >}} and
+{{<gh "@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](http://gohugo.io) is
+more accurate and complete than ever.
+
+**Support for macOS Sierra**
+
+### New Features
+* Multilingual support {{<gh 2303>}}
+* Allow content expiration {{<gh 2137 >}}
+* New templates functions:
+ * `querify` function to generate query strings inside templates {{<gh 2257>}}
+ * `htmlEscape` and `htmlUnescape` template functions {{<gh 2287>}}
+ * `time` converts a timestamp string into a time.Time structure {{<gh 2329>}}
+
+### Enhancements
+
+* Render the shortcodes as late as possible {{<gh 0xed0985404db4630d1b9d3ad0b7e41fb186ae0112>}}
+* Remove unneeded casts in page.getParam {{<gh 2186 >}}
+* Automatic page date fallback {{<gh 2239>}}
+* Enable safeHTMLAttr {{<gh 2234>}}
+* Add TODO list support for markdown {{<gh 2296>}}
+* Make absURL and relURL accept any type {{<gh 2352>}}
+* Suppress 'missing static' error {{<gh 2344>}}
+* Make summary, wordcount etc. more efficient {{<gh 2378>}}
+* Better error reporting in `hugo convert` {{<gh 2440>}}
+* Reproducible builds thanks to govendor {{<gh 2461>}}
+
+### Fixes
+
+* Fix shortcode in markdown headers {{<gh 2210 >}}
+* Explicitly bind livereload to hugo server port {{<gh 2205>}}
+* Fix Emojify for certain text patterns {{<gh 2198>}}

+
+****
+
+## **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](http://themes.gohugo.io) 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 {{< gh "@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 {{< gh "@spf13/cobra">}}, {{< gh "@spf13/viper">}} and
+ {{< gh "@spf13/afero">}} which have experienced broad usage across the Go
+ ecosystem.
+
+{{< gh "@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. {{< gh "@anthonyfok" >}}, {{< gh
+"@DigitalCraftsman" >}}, {{< gh "@MooreReason" >}} all made significant
+contributions. A special thanks to {{< gh "@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 {{<gh 2090 >}}

+****
+
+## **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](http://themes.gohugo.io) and participated in
+[Hacktoberfest](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com).
+
+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
+{{< gh "@bep" >}} who led the development of Hugo this release again,
+{{< gh "@anthonyfok" >}},
+{{< gh "@eparis" >}},
+{{< gh "@tatsushid" >}} and
+{{< gh "@DigitalCraftsman" >}}.
+
+
+### New features
+* new `hugo import jekyll` command. {{< gh 1469 >}}
+* The new `Param` convenience method on `Page` and `Node` can be used to get the most specific parameter value for a given key. {{< gh 1462 >}}
+* Several new information elements have been added to `Page` and `Node`:
+ * `RuneCount`: The number of [runes](http://blog.golang.org/strings) 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. {{< gh 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. {{< gh 1181 >}}
+* Hugo is now built with `Go 1.5` which, among many other improvements, have fixed the last known data race in Hugo. {{< gh 917 >}}
+* Paginator now also supports page groups. {{< gh 1274 >}}
+* Markdown improvements:
+ * Hugo now supports GitHub-flavoured markdown code fences for highlighting for `md`-files (Blackfriday rendered markdown) and `mmark` files (MMark rendered markdown). {{< gh 362 1258 >}}
+ * Several new Blackfriday options are added:
+ * Option to disable Blackfriday's `Smartypants`.
+ * Option for Blackfriday to open links in a new window/tab. {{< gh 1220 >}}
+ * Option to disable Blackfriday's LaTeX style dashes {{< gh 1231 >}}
+ * Definition lists extension support.
+* `Scratch` now has built-in `map` support.
+* We now fall back to `link title` for the default page sort. {{< gh 1299 >}}
+* Some notable new configuration options:
+ * `IgnoreFiles` can be set with a list of Regular Expressions that matches files to be ignored during build. {{< gh 1189 >}}
+ * `PreserveTaxonomyNames`, when set to `true`, will preserve what you type as the taxonomy name both in the folders created and the taxonomy `key`, but it will be normalized for the URL. {{< gh 1180 >}}
+* `hugo gen` can now generate man files, bash auto complete and markdown documentation
+* Hugo will now make suggestions when a command is mistyped
+* Shortcodes now have a boolean `.IsNamedParams` property. {{< gh 1597 >}}
+
+### New Template Features
+* All template engines:
+ * The new `dict` function that could be used to pass maps into a template. {{< gh 1463 >}}
+ * The new `pluralize` and `singularize` template funcs.
+ * The new `base64Decode` and `base64Encode` template funcs.
+ * The `sort` template func now accepts field/key chaining arguments and pointer values. {{< gh 1330 >}}
+ * Several fixes for `slicestr` and `substr`, most importantly, they now have full `utf-8`-support. {{< gh 1190 1333 1347 >}}
+ * The new `last` template function allows the user to select the last `N` items of a slice. {{< gh 1148 >}}
+ * The new `after` func allows the user to select the items after the `Nth` item. {{< gh 1200 >}}
+ * Add `time.Time` type support to the `where`, `ge`, `gt`, `le`, and `lt` template functions.
+ * It is now possible to use constructs like `where Values ".Param.key" nil` to filter pages that doesn't have a particular parameter. {{< gh 1232 >}}
+ * `getJSON`/`getCSV`: Add retry on invalid content. {{< gh 1166 >}}
+ * The new `readDir` func lists local files. {{< gh 1204 >}}
+ * The new `safeJS` function allows the embedding of content into JavaScript contexts in Go templates.
+ * Get the main site RSS link from any page by accessing the `.Site.RSSLink` property. {{< gh 1566 >}}
+* Ace templates:
+ * Base templates now also works in themes. {{< gh 1215 >}}.
+ * And now also on Windows. {{< gh 1178 >}}
+* Full support for Amber templates including all template functions.
+* A built-in template for Google Analytics. {{< gh 1505 >}}
+* Hugo is now shipped with new built-in shortcodes: {{< gh 1576 >}}
+ * `youtube` for YouTube videos
+ * `vimeo` for Vimeo videos
+ * `gist` for GitHub gists
+ * `tweet` for Twitter Tweets
+ * `speakerdeck` for Speakerdeck slides
+
+
+### Bugfixes
+* Fix data races in page sorting and page reversal. These operations are now also cached. {{< gh 1293 >}}
+* `page.HasMenuCurrent()` and `node.HasMenuCurrent()` now work correctly in multi-level nested menus.
+* Support `Fish and Chips` style section titles. Previously, this would end up as `Fish And Chips`. Now, the first character is made toupper, but the rest are preserved as-is. {{< gh 1176 >}}
+* Hugo now removes superfluous
