**Hugo 0.81.0** is the first release of this decade, it is the fastest to date, and it's packed with useful new features.
## Newlines in Template Actions and Commands
You can now have newlines within template actions and pipelines. This means that you can now do this and similar:
```go-html-template
{{ dict
"country" "Norway"
"population" "5 millions"
"language" "Norwegian"
"language_code" "nb"
"weather" "freezing cold"
"capitol" "Oslo"
"largest_city" "Oslo"
"currency" "Norwegian krone"
"dialing_code" "+47"
}}
```
Note that the above construction will fail in Hugo versions <`0.81.0`.
## Attribute Lists after Markdown Blocks
Hugo already supports adding attribute lists (e.g CSS classes) after titles. We now also allow adding attribute lists after Markdown blocks, e.g. tables, lists, paragraphs etc.:
```
> foo
> bar
{.myclass}
```
See [Configure Goldmark](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration-markup#goldmark).
## Performance
This release is the fastest Hugo to date, see details in the benchmarks below. This is [especially true](https://gohugo.io/news/hugo-macos-intel-vs-arm/) if you use the new ARM64 MacOS binary (only works on [Apple M1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M1) devices).
### Site Building and Rebuilding Benchmarks: v0.80.0 => v0.81.0
We finally provide native Hugo binary for [Apple M1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M1) devices. Download the file named `hugo_0.81.0_macOS-ARM64.tar.gz`.
## JavaScript Building
* Add `inject` config option allowing you to automatically replace a global variable with an import from another file relative to `assets`. [32b86076](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/32b86076ee1c0833b538b84e1cc9e6d79babecf2) [@bep](https://github.com/bep) [#8164](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8164)
* Add `shims` config option to swap out a component with another. A common use case is to load dependencies like React from a CDN (with _shims_) when in production, but running with the full bundled `node_modules` dependency during development [e19a046c](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/e19a046c4be9b0654884259b9df94f41561e4fc3) [@bep](https://github.com/bep) [#8165](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8165)
* Add external source map support to js.Build and Babel [2c8b5d91](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/2c8b5d9165011c4b24b494e661ae60dfc7bb7d1b) [@richtera](https://github.com/richtera) [#8132](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8132)
* Fix nilpointer in js.Build error handling [a1fe552f](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/a1fe552fc9e622a15010a94281f604eb85bebd84) [@bep](https://github.com/bep) [#8162](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8162)
Also see [js.Build Options](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/js#options).
## Hugo Modules
There are several [Hugo Modules](https://gohugo.io/hugo-modules/)-related improvements in this release:
* Allow absolute paths for any modules resolved via project replacement [3a5ee0d2](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/3a5ee0d2d6e344b12efc7a97354ec3480c4c578b) [@bep](https://github.com/bep) [#8240](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8240)
* Throw an error running hugo mod vendor on mountless module [4ffaeaf1](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/4ffaeaf15536596c94dc73b393ca7894e3bd5e2c) [@bep](https://github.com/bep)
This release represents **59 contributions by 14 contributors** to the main Hugo code base.[@bep](https://github.com/bep) leads the Hugo development with a significant amount of contributions, but also a big shoutout to [@moorereason](https://github.com/moorereason) and [@benmezger](https://github.com/benmezger) for their ongoing contributions. And a big thanks to [@digitalcraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman) for his relentless work on keeping the themes site in pristine condition and to [@davidsneighbour](https://github.com/davidsneighbour), [@coliff](https://github.com/coliff) and [@kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi) for all the great work on the documentation site.
Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs),
which has received **20 contributions by 13 contributors**. A special thanks to [@bep](https://github.com/bep), [@gagarine](https://github.com/gagarine), [@fridde](https://github.com/fridde), and [@NicoHood](https://github.com/NicoHood) for their work on the documentation site.
* We have updated to Beta 6 of the Dart Sass Protocol which is not backwards compatible, so if you use Dart Sass you need to also update [that binary](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/toCSS/#options).
*`hugo gen autocomplete` now default to `stdout`; you can change this by setting `--completionfile`. As an added bonus we now also support auto completion for zsh, fish and powershell.
