## **0.13.0** ???, 2015
## **0.13.0** Feb 14, 2015
A lot has happened since Hugo v0.12.0 was released.
Hugo has seen a lot of improvements since v0.12.0 was released. The v0.13.0
release is the largest Hugo release to date. The release introduced some long
sought after features (pagination, sequencing, data loading, tons of template
improvements) as well as major internal improvements. In addition to the code
changes, the Hugo community has grown significantly and now has over 3000 stars
on github, 134 contributors, 23 themes and 1000s of happy users.
* Changes to docs:
* A new [Troubleshooting](/troubleshooting/overview/) section is added
* It's now searchable through Google Custom Search ([#753][])
* Some new great tutorials:
* [Automated deployments with Wercker](/tutorials/automated-deployments/)
* [Creating a new theme](/tutorials/creating-a-new-theme/)
* Several improvements to the [template functions](/templates/functions/):
* `where` is now even more powerful and accepts SQL-like syntax with the operators `==`, `eq`; `!=`, `<>`, `ne`; `>=`, `ge`; `>`, `gt`; `<=`, `le`; `<`, `lt`; `in`, `not in`
* `where` template function now also accepts dot chaining key argument (e.g. `"Params.foo.bar"`)
* New template functions:
* `apply`
* `chomp`
* `delimit`
* `sort`
* `markdownify`
* `in` and `intersect`
* `trim`
* `replace`
* `dateFormat`
* A top level `Hugo` variable is added with various build information
* Several new ways to order and group content:
* `ByPublishDate`
* `GroupByPublishDate(format, order)`
* `GroupByParam(key, order)`
* `GroupByParamDate(key, format, order)`
* The [shortcode](/extras/shortcodes/) handling is rewritten for speed and better error messages. Noticeable functional change is the distinction between `{{</* */>}}` (typically raw HTML) and `{{%/* */%}}` (Markdown)
* Support for [cross-references](/extras/crossreferences/)
* `Scratch` -- [a "scratchpad"](/extras/scratch) for your node- and page-scoped variables
* A new, generic Next/Prev functionality is added to all lists of pages (sections, taxonomies, etc.)
* Add in-section [Next/Prev](/templates/variables/) content pointers
* Several [configurable improvements related to Markdown rendering](/overview/configuration/#configure-blackfriday-rendering:a66b35d20295cb764719ac8bd35837ec):
* Configuration of footnote rendering
* Optional support for smart angled quotes, e.g. `"Hugo"` → «Hugo»
* Enable descriptive header IDs
* The content is now copied from archetype on `hugo new` (in addition to the front matter metadata)
* Improved unit test coverage
* Hugo has undergone a major refactoring, with a new handler system and a generic file system. This sounds and is technical, but will pave the way for new features and make Hugo even speedier
This release represents 392 contributions by 56 contributors
