Release Notes

0.14.0 May 25, 2015

The v0.14.0 Hugo release brings of the most demanded features to Hugo. The foundation of Hugo is stabilizing nicely and a lot of polish has been added. We’ve expanded support for additional content types with support for AsciiDoc, Restructured Text, HTML and Markdown. Some of these types depend on external libraries as there does not currently exist native support in Go. We’ve tried to make the experience as seamless as possible. Look for more improvements here in upcoming releases.

A lot of work has been done to improve the user experience, with extra polish to the Windows experience. Hugo errors are more helpful overall and Hugo now can detect if it’s being run in Windows Explorer and provide additional instructions to run it via the command prompt.

The Hugo community continues to grow. Hugo has over 4000 stars on github, 165 contributors, 35 themes and 1000s of happy users. It is now the 5th most popular static site generator (by Stars) and has the 3rd largest contributor community.

This release represents over 240 contributions by 36 contributors to the main Hugo codebase.

Big shout out to @bep who led the development of Hugo this release, @anthonyfok, @eparis, @SchumacherFM, @RickCogley & @mdhender for their significant contributions and @tatsushid for his continuous improvements to the templates. Also a big thanks to all the theme creators. 11 new themes have been added since last release and the hugoThemes repo now has previews of all of them.

Hugo also depends on a lot of other great projects. A big thanks to all of our dependencies inclding: cobra, viper, blackfriday, pflag, HugoThemes, BurntSushi, goYaml, and the Go standard library.

Notices
