This is a small release, mostly a maintainance/bugfix release. But also notable is that you can now add custom Markdown attributes (e.g. CSS classes) to code fences ([aed7df62](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/aed7df62a811b07b73ec5cbbf03e69e4bbf00919) [@bep](https://github.com/bep) [#8278](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8278)) and that you can use the attribute lists in title render hooks (`.Attributes`; see [cd0c5d7e](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/cd0c5d7ef32cbd570af00c50ce760452381df64e) [@bep](https://github.com/bep) [#8270](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8270)).

This release represents **28 contributions by 8 contributors** to the main Hugo code base.[@bep](https://github.com/bep) leads the Hugo development with a significant amount of contributions, but also a big shoutout to [@moorereason](https://github.com/moorereason), and [@gzagatti](https://github.com/gzagatti) for their ongoing contributions.
And a big thanks to [@digitalcraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman) for his relentless work on keeping the themes site in pristine condition and to [@davidsneighbour](https://github.com/davidsneighbour), [@coliff](https://github.com/coliff) and [@kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi) for all the great work on the documentation site.

Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs), 
which has received **20 contributions by 12 contributors**. A special thanks to [@bep](https://github.com/bep), [@jmooring](https://github.com/jmooring), [@rootkea](https://github.com/rootkea), and [@PaulPineda](https://github.com/PaulPineda) for their work on the documentation site.


Hugo now has:

* 50763+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers)
* 435+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors)
* 370+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/)

## Notes

* We have made `.MediaType` comparable [ba1d0051](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/ba1d0051b44fdd242b20899e195e37ab26501516) [@bep](https://github.com/bep) [#8317](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8317)[#8324](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8324). This also means that the old `MediaType.Suffix` and `MediaType.FullSuffix` is moved to `MediaType.FirstSuffix.Suffix` and `MediaType.FirstSuffix.FullSuffix`, which also better describes what they represent.

## Enhancements
