Hugo reached [30 000 stars on GitHub](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers) this week, which is a good occasion to do a follow-up release of the great Hugo `0.50`. This is mostly a bug fix release, but it also adds some useful new functionality, two examples are the new template funcs `complement` and `symdiff`. This release also continues the work on improving Hugo's error messages. And with `.Position` now available on shortcodes, you can also improve your own error messages inside your custom shortcodes:
{{ with .Get "name" }}
{{ else }}
{{ errorf "missing value for param 'name': %s" .Position }}
{{ end }}
When the above fails, you will see an ERROR log similar to the below:
ERROR 2018/11/07 10:05:55 missing value for param name: "/sites/hugoDocs/content/en/variables/shortcodes.md:32:1"
This release represents 31 contributions by 5 contributors to the main Hugo code base. @bep leads the Hugo development with a significant amount of contributions, but also a big shoutout to @krisbudhram, @LorenzCK, and @coliff 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 6 contributions by 5 contributors. A special thanks to @ikemo3, @maiki, @morya, and @regisphilibert for their work on the documentation site.
Hugo now has:
- 30095+ stars

- 276+ themes
