In Hugo `0.41` we add a new **Privacy Configuration** section to meet the new regulations in the new **General Data Protection Regulation ([GDPR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation))**. Many have contributed work on this project, but a special thanks to [@onedrawingperday](https://github.com/onedrawingperday), [@jhabdas](https://github.com/jhabdas), and [@it-gro](https://github.com/it-gro).

> You can read more about the new Privacy Config [here](https://gohugo.io/about/hugo-and-gdpr/).


Hugo now has:

* 25917+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers)
* 446+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors)
* 231+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/)

## Notes

* We have fixed an issue where we sent the wrong `.Site` object into the archetype templates used in `hugo new`. This meant that if you wanted to access site params and some other fields you needed to use `.Site.Info.Params` etc. This release fixes that so now you can use the same construct in the archetype templates as in the regular templates.
