gohugoio/hugo

Hugo is a static site generator that provides a comprehensive framework for building websites from content, templates, and assets. The system manages the entire build lifecycle, including content parsing, multi-format markup rendering, and resource processing such as image manipulation and CSS/JS bundling. It features a modular architecture with extensive template functions for data manipulation, security policies, and deployment capabilities.

This period focused on significantly expanding the template function namespace with new utilities for cryptography, encoding, images, and string manipulation. Concurrently, the codebase underwent extensive internal refactoring, including a centralized dependency container, a new template descriptor system, and improved error reporting. The work also introduced features like related content, minification configuration, and privacy settings, while updating dependencies to Go 1.26.0.
