-Hugo `0.36` announces **smart cropping** of images, using the [library](https://github.com/muesli/smartcrop) created by [muesli](https://github.com/muesli). We will work with him to improve this even more in the future, but this is now the default used when cropping images in Hugo.
-
-Go [here](http://hugotest.bep.is/resourcemeta/smartcrop/) for a list of examples.
-
-This release represents **7 contributions by 3 contributors** to the main Hugo code base.
-
-Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs), 
-which has received **9 contributions by 4 contributors**. A special thanks to [@bep](https://github.com/bep), [@Jibec](https://github.com/Jibec), [@Nick-Rivera](https://github.com/Nick-Rivera), and [@kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi) for their work on the documentation site.

-Hugo now has:
-
-* 23100+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers)
-* 448+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors)
-* 197+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/)
-
-## Notes
-Hugo now defaults to **smart crop** when cropping images, if you don't specify it when calling `.Fill`.
-
-You can get the old default by adding this to your `config.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[imaging]
-anchor = "center"
-```
-Also, we have removed the superflous anchor name from the processed filenames that does not use this anchor, so it can be wise to run `hugo --gc` once to remove unused images.
