+sought after features (pagination, sequencing, data loading, tons of template
+improvements) as well as major internal improvements. In addition to the code
+changes, the Hugo community has grown significantly and now has over 3000 stars
+on github, 134 contributors, 23 themes and 1000s of happy users.

+* `Scratch` -- [a "scratchpad"](/extras/scratch) for your node- and page-scoped
+  variables
