 Overview

Hugo is a [static site generator][] written in Go, optimized for speed and designed for flexibility. With its advanced templating system and fast asset pipelines, Hugo renders a complete site in seconds, often less.

Due to its flexible framework, multilingual support, and powerful taxonomy system, Hugo is widely used to create:

- Corporate, government, nonprofit, education, news, event, and project sites
- Documentation sites
- Image portfolios
- Landing pages
- Business, professional, and personal blogs
- Resumes and CVs

Use Hugo's embedded web server during development to instantly see changes to content, structure, behavior, and presentation. Then deploy the site to your host, or push changes to your Git provider for automated builds and deployment.

Hugo's fast asset pipelines include:

- CSS Processing – Bundle, transform, minify, create source maps, perform SRI hashing, and integrate with PostCSS.
- Image processing – Convert, resize, crop, rotate, adjust colors, apply filters, overlay text and images, and extract metadata
- JavaScript bundling – Transpile TypeScript and JSX to JavaScript, bundle, tree shake, minify, create source maps, and perform SRI hashing.
- Sass processing – Transpile Sass to CSS, bundle, tree shake, minify, create source maps, perform SRI hashing, and integrate with Post

The main motivation behind this release is to get out a build with Go 1.27.3, which blocks trust in a small set of intermediate certificates due to specific security concerns around their operation. See the eMudhra incident for more information. This affects Hugo features that fetch remote resources over HTTPS, e.g. resources.GetRemote.

This release also contains some security hardening of the template functions and menu entries that can render content as HTML (see below), a deprecation of looking up reserved front matter fields via .Params (also below), a faster and more robust plainify, a
