Release Notes 10

0.13.0 Feb 21, 2015

The v0.13.0 release is the largest Hugo release to date.

In addition to the code changes, the Hugo community has grown significantly and now has over 3000 stars on github, 134 contributors, 24 themes and 1000s of happy users.

This release represents 448 contributions by 65 contributors
