Hugo

**Nat King Cole** was a fantastic American jazz pianist. When his bass player had visited the bar a little too often, he started with his percussive piano playing to keep the tempo flowing. Oscar Peterson called it _"Nat's stabilizers"_. This release is the software equivalent of that. We have been doing frequent main releases this year, but looking back, the patch releases that followed them seemed unneeded. And looking at the regressions, most of them stem from the `commands` package, a package that before this release was filled with globals and high coupling. This package is now rewritten and accompanied with decent test coverage.

But this release isn't all boring and technical: It includes several important bug fixes, several useful new template functions, and `Resource.Content` allows you to get any resource's content without having to fiddle with file paths and `readFile`.

This release represents **61 contributions by 4 contributors** to the main Hugo code base. A shout-out to [bep](https://github.com/bep) for the implementation and [it-gro](https://github.com/it-gro) and [RickCogley](https://github.com/RickCogley) for the help testing it.

[bep](https://github.com/bep) leads the Hugo development with a significant amount of contributions and his witty Norwegian humour, but also a big shoutout to [anthonyfok](https://github.com/anthonyfok), [thedodobird2](https://github.com/thedodobird2), and [neurocline](https://github.com/neurocline) 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 [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 **6 contributions by 5 contributors**. A special thanks to [kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi), [regisphilibert](https://github.com/regisphilibert), [bep](https://github.com/bep), and [tomanistor](https://github.com/tomanistor) for their work on the documentation site.

Hugo now has:

* 24911+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers)
* 446+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors)
* 218+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/)

Notes

* The `main.Execute` function now returns a `Response` object and the global `Hugo` variable is removed. This is only relevant for people building some kind of API around Hugo.
* Remove deprecated `File.Bytes` [94c8b29c](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/94c8b29c39d0c485ee91d98c08fd615c28802496) [bep](https://github.com/bep)

Built with go version go1.10 linux/amd64

Hugo `0.38` is an **Easter egg** filled with good stuff. We now support fetching **date and slug from the content filename**, making the move from Jekyll even easier. And you can now set `contentDir` per language with intelligent merging, and themes can now provide configuration ... Also worth mentioning is several improvements in the [Chroma](https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma) highlighter, most notable support for Go templates.

We are working hard to get the documentation up-to-date with the new features, but you can also see them in action with the full source at [hugotest.bep.is](http://hugotest.bep.is/).

This release represents **39 contributions by 4 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), [felicianotech](https://github.com/felicianotech), and [paulcmal](https://github.com/paulcmal) 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 [kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi) for his great work on the documentation site.

Also, a shoutout to [regisphilibert](https://github.com/regisphilibert) for his work on the new [Code Toggle Shortcode](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/code-toggle/) on the Hugo docs site, which we will put to good use to improve all the configuration samples.

Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs),
which has received **55 contributions by 18 contributors**. A special thanks to [kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi), [bep](https://github.com/bep), [xa0082249956](https://github.com/xa0082249956), and [paulcmal](https://github.com/paulcmal) for their work on the documentation site.


Hugo now has:

* 24547+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers)
* 447+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors)
* 213+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/)

Notes

* Hugo now allows partial redefinition `outputs` in your site configuration. This is what most people would expect, but it is still a change in behaviour. For details, see [4487](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/4487)
* Before this release, Hugo flattened URLs of processed images in sub-folders. This worked fine but was not intentional. See [4502](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/4502).

This is a bug-fix release with a one important fix:

Image content such as `SVG` cannot be scaled with the built-in image processing methods, but it should still be possible to use them as page resources. This was a regression in Hugo `0.37` and is now fixed. [ba94abbf](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/ba94abbf5dd90f989242af8a7027d67a572a6128) [bep](https://github.com/bep) [#4455](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/4455)

Built with go version go1.10 linux/amd64

The main item in Hugo `0.37` is that we now properly preserve the colour palette when processing `PNG` images. We got reports from users experiencing their `PNG` images getting bigger in file size when scaled down. Now, if you, as an example, start out with a carefully chosen 8 bit colour palette (i.e. `PNG-8`), this is now what you will end up with. A special thanks to [aitva](https://github.com/aitva) for doing the investigative work finding a proper fix for this issue.

This release represents **40 contributions by 5 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 [vassudanagunta](https://github.com/vassudanagunta), [kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi), and [curttimson](https://github.com/curttimson) for their ongoing contributions.

And as always a big thanks to [digitalcraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman) for his relentless work on keeping the documentation and the themes site in pristine condition.

Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs),
which has received **24 contributions by 8 contributors**. A special thanks to [bep](https://github.com/bep), [4RU](https://github.com/4RU), [kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi), and [mitchchn](https://github.com/mitchchn) for their work on the documentation site.

Hugo now has:

* 23649+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers)
* 447+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors)
* 197+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/)

Notes

* Hugo will now convert non-string `YAML` map keys to string. See [4393](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/4393) for more information. You will get a `WARNING` in the console if you are touched by this.
* We have improved the `PNG` processing, and have incremented the version numbers on the URL for the processed `PNG` image. This will just work, but you may want to run `hugo --gc` to clean up some old stale images in the resource cache.

Enhancements

Templates

* Add template func for TOML/JSON/YAML docs examples conversion. This is mainly motivated by the needs of the Hugo docs site.
