**Note:** The documentation site isn't updated with all of the main new things below. We will get to it soon. See https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs/issues/1171

This release comes with native JavaScript bundling (and minifier), with [import](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import) support (from `node_modules` etc.), tree shaking, scope hoisting for ES6 modules, transpilation of JSX and newer JS syntax down to ES6, JavaScript/JSX and TypeScript/TSX support. And it's _very fast_. [Benchmarks](https://github.com/evanw/esbuild#benchmarks) rates it **at least 100x faster** than the other JavaScript bundlers included. This new feature is backed by the very impressive [ESBuild](https://github.com/evanw/esbuild) project by [@evanw](https://github.com/evanw). Many thanks to [@remko](https://github.com/remko) for the integration work.

A very simple example building a TypeScript file:

```go-html-template
{{ $js := resources.Get "js/main.ts" | js.Build }}
```
This release also comes with Open API 3-support. This makes it much easier to create "Swagger styled" API-documentation. The below will unmarshal your YAML file into [this object graph](https://godoc.org/github.com/getkin/kin-openapi/openapi3#Swagger):

```go-html-template
{{ $api := resources.Get "api/openapi.yaml" | openapi3.Unmarshal }}
```

Hugo's Asciidoc integration has also gotten a face lift. A big shoutout to [@muenchhausen](https://github.com/muenchhausen) and [@bwklein](https://github.com/bwklein) for their work on this.

And finally, [partials](https://gohugo.io/templates/partials/#inline-partials) can now be defined inline -- and that is way more useful than it sounds.
 

This release represents **23 contributions by 9 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 [@niklasfasching](https://github.com/niklasfasching), [@bwklein](https://github.com/bwklein), and [@muenchhausen](https://github.com/muenchhausen) 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 **8 contributions by 7 contributors**. A special thanks to [@OmarEmaraDev](https://github.com/OmarEmaraDev), [@regisphilibert](https://github.com/regisphilibert), [@coliff](https://github.com/coliff), and [@jessicahuynh](https://github.com/jessicahuynh) for their work on the documentation site.
