--- date: 2018-02-27 title: "0.37" description: "0.37" slug: "0.37" categories: ["Releases"] --- The main item in Hugo `0.37` is that we now properly preserve the colour palette when processing `PNG` images. We got reports from users experiencing their `PNG` images getting bigger in file size when scaled down. Now, if you, as an example, start out with a carefully chosen 8 bit colour palette (i.e. `PNG-8`), this is now what you will end up with. A special thanks to [@aitva](https://github.com/aitva) for doing the investigative work finding a proper fix for this issue. This release represents **40 contributions by 5 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 [@vassudanagunta](https://github.com/vassudanagunta), [@kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi), and [@curttimson](https://github.com/curttimson) for their ongoing contributions. And as always a big thanks to [@digitalcraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman) for his relentless work on keeping the documentation and the themes site in pristine condition. Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs), which has received **24 contributions by 8 contributors**. A special thanks to [@bep](https://github.com/bep), [@4RU](https://github.com/4RU), [@kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi), and [@mitchchn](https://github.com/mitchchn) for their work on the documentation site. Hugo now has: * 23649+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers) * 447+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors) * 197+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/) ## Notes * Hugo will now convert non-string `YAML` map keys to string. See [#4393](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/4393) for more information. You will get a `WARNING` in the console if you are touched by this. * We have improved the `PNG` processing, and have incremented the version numbers on the URL for the processed `PNG` image. This will just work, but you may want to run `hugo --gc` to clean up some old stale images in the resource cache. ## Enhancements ### Templates * Add template func for TOML/JSON/YAML docs examples conversion. This is mainly motivated by the needs of the Hugo docs site.
