Hugo 0.32: Page Bundles and Image Processing!

Hugo `0.32` features **Page Bundles and Image Processing** by [@bep](https://github.com/bep), which is very cool and useful on so many levels. Read about it in more detail in the [Hugo documentation](https://gohugo.io/about/new-in-032/), but some of the highlights include:
  • Automatic bundling of a content page with its resources. Resources can be anything: Images, JSON files … and also other content pages.
  • A Resource will have its RelPermalink and Permalink relative to the “owning page”. This makes the complete article with both text and images portable (just send a ZIP file with a folder to your editor), and it can be previewed directly on GitHub.
  • Powerful and simple to use image processing with the new .Resize, .Fill, and .Fit methods on the new Image resource.
  • Full support for symbolic links inside /content, both for regular files and directories.

The built-in benchmarks in Hugo show that this is also the fastest and most memory effective Hugo version to date. But note that the build time total reported in the console is now adjusted to be the real total, including the copy of static files. So, if it reports more milliseconds, it is still most likely faster …

This release represents 30 contributions by 7 contributors to the main Hugo code base.

@bep leads the Hugo development with a significant amount of contributions, but also a big shoutout to @betaveros, @chaseadamsio, and @kropp. And as always big thanks to @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, which has received 17 contributions by 7 contributors. A special thanks to @bep, @felicianotech, @maiki, and @carlchengli for their work on the documentation site.

Hugo now has:

Today is New Year’s Eve. It is the last day of 2017, a year that have seen a string of pearls of Hugo releases, making Hugo the top choice for website development:

  • 0.31, November 2017: The Language Multihost Edition! with one baseURL per language.

Notes

  • The build total in the console is now the … total (i.e. it now includes both the copy of the static files and the Hugo build). So if your Hugo site seems to build slightly slower, it is in reality probably slightly faster than before this release.
  • Images and other static resources in folders with “_index.md” will have its RelPermalink relative to its page.
  • Images and other static resources in or below “index.md” folders will have its RelPermalink relative to its page (respecting permalink settings etc.)
  • Content pages in or below “index.md” will not get their own URL, but will be part of the .Resources collection of its page.
  • .Site.Files is deprecated.
  • Hugo no longer minfies CSS files inside /content. This was an undocumented “proof of concept feature”. We may revisit the “assets handling” in a future release.
  • Page.GetParamdoes not lowercase your result anymore. If you really want to lowercase your params, do it with .GetParam "myparam" | lower or similar.

Previously deprecated that will now ERROR:

  • disable404: Use disableKinds=["404"]
  • disableRSS: Use disableKinds=["RSS"]
  • disableSitemap: Use disableKinds=["sitemap"]
  • disableRobotsTXT: Use disableKinds=["robotsTXT"]
