The timing of this release is motivated by getting the copies of the docs repositories in synch, now fully "Hugo Modularized". But it also comes with some very nice additions:
It is now possible to set the target format and the background fill color when processing images, e.g.:
{{ $image.Resize "600x jpg b31280" }}
See [Image Processing Options](https://gohugo.io/content-management/image-processing/#image-processing-options).
Another useful addon is the `$pages.Next` and `$pages.Prev` methods on the core page collections in Hugo. These works the same way as the built-in static variants one `Page`, e.g. `.Next` and `.NextInSection`:
{{with .Site.RegularPages.Next . }}{{.RelPermalink}}{{end}}
The above is a functionally equivalent (but slightly slower) variant of:
{{with .Next }}{{.RelPermalink}}{{end}}
See [Pages Methods](https://gohugo.io/variables/pages/) for more information.
This release represents **45 contributions by 13 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 [anthonyfok](https://github.com/anthonyfok), [BaibhaVatsa](https://github.com/BaibhaVatsa), and [XhmikosR](https://github.com/XhmikosR) for their ongoing contributions.
And a big thanks to [digitalcraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman) and [onedrawingperday](https://github.com/onedrawingperday) for their relentless work on keeping the themes site in pristine condition and to [kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi) for his 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 **34 contributions by 20 contributors**. A special thanks to [bep](https://github.com/bep), [celtic-coder](https://github.com/celtic-coder), [napcs](https://github.com/napcs), and [bmackinney](https://github.com/bmackinney) for their work on the documentation site.
Hugo now has:
* 38843+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers)
* 441+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors)
* 255+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/)
Notes
* Shortcode params can now be typed (supported types are `string`, `bool` `int` and `float64`, see [6376](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/pull/6376).
* Pages.Next/.Prev as described above has existed for a long time, but they have been undocumented. They have been reimplemented for this release and now works like their namesakes on `Page`. This may be considered a breaking change, but it should be a welcome one, as the old behaviour wasn't very useful. See [4500](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/4500)
