Hugo 0.29 brings Template Metrics by @moorereason. Hugo is very fast, but it is still possible to write ineffective templates. Now these should be easy to identify. Just run:

hugo --templateMetrics

Now, that was the tasty carrot. The real reason this release comes so fast after the last one is to change the default value for the new noHTTPCache flag, which gives away too much performance to make sense as a default value.

Hugo now has:

• 19817+ stars
• 454+ contributors
• 180+ themes

Notes

• Make noHTTPCache default false e94d4f01 @bep
