Hugo 0.26: Language Style Edition

This release brings a choice of AP Style or Chicago Style Title Case (8fb594bf #989). You can also now configure Blackfriday to render « French Guillemets » (cb9dfc26 #3725). To enable French Guillemets, put this in your site config.toml:

[blackfriday]
angledQuotes = true
smartypantsQuotesNBSP = true

Oh, and this release also fixes it so you should see no ugly long crashes no more when you step wrong in your templates (794ea21e).

Hugo 0.26 represents 46 contributions by 11 contributors to the main Hugo code base.

@bep leads the Hugo development with a significant amount of contributions, but also a big shoutout to @anthonyfok, @jorinvo, and @digitalcraftsman for their ongoing contributions. And as always a 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 838 contributions by 30 contributors. A special thanks to @rdwatters, @bep, @digitalcraftsman, and @budparr for their work on the documentation site.

This may look like a Waiting Sausage, a barbecue term used in Norway for that sausage you eat while waiting for the steak to get ready. And it is: We’re working on bigger and even more interesting changes behind the scenes. Stay tuned!

Hugo now has:

• 18802+ stars

Notes

• sourceRelativeLinks has been deprecated for a while and has now been removed. 9891c0fb @bep #3766
• The title template function and taxonomy page titles now default to following the AP Stylebook for title casing. To override this default to use the old behavior, set titleCaseStyle to Go in your site configuration. 8fb594bf @bep #989
