The two big new items in this release is [Inline Shortcodes](https://gohugo.io//templates/shortcode-templates/#inline-shortcodes) and [Consolidated File Caches](https://gohugo.io//templates/shortcode-templates/getting-started/configuration/#configure-file-caches). In Hugo we really care about build speed, and caching is important. With this release, you get much better control over your cache configuration, which is especially useful when building on a Continous Integration server (Netlify, CircleCI or similar). Inline Shortcodes was implemented to help the Bootstrap project [move their documentation](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/24475#issuecomment-441238128) to Hugo. Note that this feature is disabled by default. To enable, set `enableInlineShortcodes = true` in your site config. Worth mentioning is also the new `param` shortcode, which looks up the param in page front matter with the site's parameter as a fall back.

This release represents 33 contributions by 7 contributors to the main Hugo code base. @bep leads the Hugo development with a significant amount of contributions, but also a big shoutout to @moorereason, @emirb, and @allizad for their ongoing contributions. And a big thanks to @digitalcraftsman and @onedrawingperday for their relentless work on keeping the themes site in pristine condition and to @kaushalmodi for his great work on the documentation site.

Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in hugoDocs, which has received 10 contributions by 4 contributors. A special thanks to @budparr, @bep, @allizad, and @funkydan2 for their work on the documentation site.

Hugo now has:
