Hugo

**Note: There's some missing ARM64 binaries for MacOS, see 8952**

The most important piece in this release is the Go 1.17 update. This release is built with that new Go version, but also and more importantly, the Hugo Modules logic has been updated to support Go's new way of (lazy) loading transitive dependencies. If you already have Go 1.17 installed, building existing Hugo Modules backed projects have not been an issue, but `hugo mod init` for a new project could give you _too new_ versions of transitive dependencies. Hugo 0.88 fixes this.

This release represents **26 contributions by 6 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 [dependabot[bot]](https://github.com/apps/dependabot), [helfper](https://github.com/helfper), and [wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming) for their ongoing contributions.

Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs),
which has received **9 contributions by 6 contributors**. A special thanks to [bep](https://github.com/bep), [jmooring](https://github.com/jmooring), [StevenMaude](https://github.com/StevenMaude), and [coliff](https://github.com/coliff) for their work on the documentation site.

Hugo now has:

* 53915+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers)
* 430+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors)
* 404+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/)

Notes
* We have fixed a bug with the import order in `js.Build` for the case `./foo` when both `./foo.js` and `./foo/index.js` exists. This is in line with how both Node and ESBuild's native import resolver does it. We discovered this trying to build AlpineJS v3 from source mounted in `/assets`. See [cf73cc2e](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/cf73cc2ececd4e794df09ea382a38ab18960d84e) [bep](https://github.com/bep) [#8945](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8945).

Hugo `0.87` brings two long sought-after features: Default time zone support (per language if needed) for dates without zone offset or location info, and localized time and dates and numbers (backed by [CLDR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Locale_Data_Repository)).

For more information, see:

* The [time zone config](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/#timezone) documentation.
* The [time.Format](https://gohugo.io/functions/dateformat/) documentation. This function will now give you localized dates (with weekdays and months in the current language). It supports all of Go's layout syntax, but also some predefined constants, e.g. `{{ .Date | time.Format ":date_long" }}`.
* A set of new [localized number formatting ](https://gohugo.io/functions/lang/)

Also in this release, we have switched to using [go-toml](https://github.com/pelletier/go-toml) for all things TOML in Hugo. A big thanks to [pelletier](https://github.com/pelletier) for his work on the `v2` version. It's both faster than what we had and [TOML v1.0.0](https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0) compliant.

* config: Fix a potential deadlock in config reading [94b616bd](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/94b616bdfad177daa99f5e87535943f509198f6f) [bep](https://github.com/bep) [#8791](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8791)

This is release is a set of smaller fixes and improvements. Some of the more noteable:

You can now have a top level [cascade](https://gohugo.io/content-management/front-matter#front-matter-cascade) (or one per language, if needed) section in your site configuration (e.g. `config.toml`). This way you can control default front matter values from outside of the content files.

Hugo's [Menu system](https://gohugo.io/content-management/menus/) works good, but hasn't been particulary easy to set the active menu state for section pages without a menu defintion. We have had the option [Section Menu for Lazy Bloggers](https://gohugo.io/templates/menu-templates/#section-menu-for-lazy-bloggers). That helped for the common case, but we have now made it behave more sensible out of the box: `$page.HasMenuCurrent $sectionMenuEntry` will now always return true for any descendant of that section. To support this for menu defintions in the site config, we have added a new `pageRef` option on [MenuEntry](https://gohugo.io/variables/menus/#menu-entry-variables):

toml
[[menus.main]]
pageRef = "blog"
When pageRef is set, setting `url` is optional; it will be used as a fallback if the page is not found.
url = "/blog"


Set `pageRef` to a value that [site.GetPage](https://gohugo.io/functions/getpage/) understands, and the menu entry will be correctly connected to the page.

Hugo `0.85.0` is on the smaller side of releases, but the main new thing it brings should be important to those who need it: Poll based watching for file system changes.

Hugo uses [Fsnotify](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify) to provide native file system notifications. This is still the default, but there may situations where this isn't working. The file may not support it (e.g. NFS), or you get the "too many open files" error and cannot or do not want to increase the `ulimit`. Enable polling by passing the `--poll` flag with an interval:

bash
hugo server --poll 700ms


You van even do "long polling" by passing a long interval:

bash
hugo server --poll 24h
