title: "This One Goes to 11!"
description: "With Go 1.11, Hugo finally gets support for variable overwrites in templates!"
categories: ["Releases"]
---
Hugo `0.48` is built with the brand new Go 1.11. On the technical side this means that Hugo now uses [Go Modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) for the build. The big new functional thing in Go 1.11 for Hugo is added support for [variable overwrites](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/10608). This means that you can now do this and get the expected result:
```go-html-template
{{ $var := "Hugo Page" }}
{{ if .IsHome }}
{{ $var = "Hugo Home" }}
{{ end }}
Var is {{ $var }}
```
The above may look obvious, but has not been possible until now. In Hugo we have had `.Scratch` as a workaround for this, but Go 1.11 will help clean up a lot of templates.
This release represents **23 contributions by 5 contributors** to the main Hugo code base.
