This means that every page, including the homepage, can have a content file with front matter. + +Not only is this a much simpler model to understand, it is also faster and paved the way for several important new features: + +* Enable proper titles for Nodes {{<gh 1051>}} +* Sitemap.xml should include nodes, as well as pages {{<gh 1303>}} +* Document homepage content workaround {{<gh 2240>}} +* Allow home page to be easily authored in markdown {{<gh 720>}} +* Minimalist website with homepage as content {{<gh 330>}} + +Hugo again continues its trend of each release being faster than the last. It's quite a challenge to consistently add significant new functionality and simultaneously dramatically improve performance. Running [this benchmark]( https://github.com/bep/hugo-benchmark) with [these sites](https://github.com/bep/hugo-benchmark/tree/master/sites) (renders to memory) shows about 60% reduction in time spent and 30% reduction in memory usage compared to Hugo 0.17. + +### Other New Features + +* Every `Page` now has a `Kind` property. Since everything is a `Page` now, the `Kind` is used to differentiate different kinds of pages. + Possible values are `page`, `home`, `section`, `taxonomy`, and `taxonomyTerm`. + (Internally, we also define `RSS`, `sitemap`, `robotsTXT`, and `404`, but those have no practical use for end users at the moment since they are not included in any collections.) +* Add a `GitInfo` object to `Page` if `enableGitInfo` is set. It then also sets `Lastmod` for the given `Page` to the author date provided by Git. {{<gh 2291>}} +* Implement support for alias templates {{<gh 2533 >}} +* New template functions: + * Add `imageConfig` function {{<gh 2677>}} + * Add `sha256` function {{<gh 2762>}} + * Add `partialCached` template function {{<gh 1368>}} +* Add shortcode to display Instagram images {{<gh 2690>}} +* Add `noChmod` option to disable perm sync {{<gh 2749>}} +* Add `quiet` build mode {{<gh 1218>}} + + +### Notices + +* `.Site.Pages` will now contain *several kinds of pages*, including regular pages, sections, taxonomies, and the home page. + If you want a specific kind of page, you can filter it with `where` and `Kind`. + `.Site.RegularPages` is a shortcut to the page collection you have been used to getting. +* `RSSlink` is now deprecated. Use `RSSLink` instead. + Note that in Hugo 0.17 both of them existed, so there is a fifty-fifty chance you will not have to do anything + (if you use a theme, the chance is close to 0), and `RSSlink` will still work for two Hugo versions. + +### Fixes + +* Revise the `base` template lookup logic so it now better matches the behavior of regular templates, making it easier to override the master templates from the theme {{<gh 2783>}} +* Add workaround for `block` template crash. + Block templates are very useful, but there is a bug in Go 1.6 and 1.7 which makes the template rendering crash if you use the block template in more complex scenarios. + This is fixed in the upcoming Go 1.8, but Hugo adds a temporary workaround in Hugo 0.18. {{<gh 2549>}} +* All the `Params` configurations are now case insensitive {{<gh 1129>}} {{<gh 2590>}} {{<gh 2615>}} +* Make RawContent raw again {{<gh 2601>}} +* Fix archetype title and date handling {{<gh 2750>}} +* Fix TOML archetype parsing in `hugo new` {{<gh 2745>}} +* Fix page sorting when weight is zero {{<gh 2673>}} +* Fix page names that contain dot {{<gh 2555>}} +* Fix RSS Title regression {{<gh 2645>}} +* Handle ToC before handling shortcodes {{<gh 2433>}} +* Only watch relevant themes dir {{<gh 2602>}} +* Hugo new content creates TOML slices with closing bracket on new line {{<gh 2800>}} + +### Improvements + +* Add page information to error logging in rendering {{<gh 2570>}} +* Deprecate `RSSlink` in favor of `RSSLink` +* Make benchmark command more useful {{<gh 2432>}} +* Consolidate the `Param` methods {{<gh 2590>}} +* Allow to set cache dir in config file +* Performance improvements: + * Avoid repeated Viper loads of `sectionPagesMenu` {{<gh 2728>}} + * Avoid reading from Viper for path and URL funcs {{<gh 2495>}} + * Add `partialCached` template function. This can be a significant performance boost if you have complex partials that does not need to be rerendered for every page. {{<gh 1368>}} + +### Documentation Updates + +* Update roadmap {{<gh 2666>}} +* Update multilingual example {{<gh 2417>}} +* Add a "Deployment with rsync" tutorial page {{<gh 2658>}} +* Refactor `/docs` to use the `block` keyword {{<gh 2226>}} |
