-## **0.15.0** ???
+## **0.15.0** November 25, 2015
+
+The v0.15.0 Hugo release brings a lot of polish to Hugo. Exactly 6 months after
+the 0.14 release, Hugo has seen massive growth and changes. Most notably, this
+is Hugo's first release under the Apache 2.0 license. With this license change
+we hope to expand the great community around Hugo and make it easier for our
+many users to contribute. This release represents over **377 contributions by
+87 contributors** to the main Hugo repo and hundreds of improvements to the
+libraries Hugo uses. Hugo also launched a [new theme
+showcase](http://themes.gohugo.io) and participated in
+[hacktoberfest](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com).
+
+Hugo now has:
+
+* 6700 (+2700) stars on github
+* 235 (+75) contributors
+* 65 (+30) themes
+
+
+**Template Improvements:** This release takes Hugo to a new level of speed and
+usability. Considerable work has been done adding features and performance to
+the template system which now has full support of Ace, Amber and Go Templates.
+
+**Hugo Import:** Have a Jekyll site, but dreaming of porting it to Hugo? This
+release introduces a new `hugo import jekyll`command that makes this easier
+than ever.
+
+**Performance Improvements:** Just when you thought Hugo couldn't get any faster,
+Hugo continues to improve in speed while adding features. Notably Hugo 0.15
+introduces the ability to render and serve directly from memory resulting in
+30%+ lower render times.
+
+Huge thanks to all who participated in this release. A special thanks to
+[@bep](https://github.com/bep) who led the development of Hugo this release again,
+[@anthonyfok](https://github.com/anthonyfok),
+[@eparis](https://github.com/eparis),
+[@tatsushid](https://github.com/tatsushid) and
+[@DigitalCraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman/)
+
+
+## New features
+* new `hugo import jekyll` command. [1469](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/pull/1469)
+* The new `Param` convenience method on `Page` and `Node` can be used to get the most specific parameter value for a given key. [1462](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/1462)
+* Several new information elements have been added to `Page` and `Node`:
+ * `RuneCount`: The number of [runes](http://blog.golang.org/strings) in the content, excluding any whitespace. This may be a good alternative to `.WordCount` for Japanese and other CJK languages where a word-split by spaces makes no sense. [1266](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/1266)
+ * `RawContent`: Raw Markdown as a string. One use case may be of embedding remarkjs.com slides.
+ * `IsHome`: tells the truth about whether you're on the home page or not.
+

+* `Scratch` now has built-in `map` support.
+* We now fall back to `link title` for the default page sort. [1299](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/1299)
+* Some notable new configuration options:
+ * `IgnoreFiles` can be set with a list of Regular Expressions that matches files to be ignored during build. [1189](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/1189)
+ * `PreserveTaxonomyNames`, when set to `true`, will preserve what you type as the taxonomy name both in the folders created and the taxonomy `key`, but it will be normalized for the URL. [1180](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/1180)
+* `hugo gen` can now generate man files, bash auto complete and markdown documentation
+* Hugo will now make suggestions when a command is mistyped
