-## **0.16.0** TBD

+## **0.16.0** June 3nd 2016

-Hugo now has:

+Hugo 0.16 is our best and biggest release ever. The Hugo community has

+outdone itself with continued performance improvements,

+[beautiful themes](http://themes.gohugo.io) for all types of sites from project

+sites to documentation to blogs to portfolios, and increased stability.

-* 8700 (+2000) stars on GitHub

-* 284 (+50) contributors

-* 77 (+10) themes

+This release represents **over 550 contributions by over 110 contributors** to

+the main Hugo codebase. Since last release Hugo has **gained 3500 stars, 90

+contributors and 23 additional themes.**

+This release celebrates 3 years since  {{< gh "@spf13" >}} wrote the first lines

+of Hugo. During those 3 years Hugo has accomplished some major milestones

+including...

+* 10,000+ stars on GitHub

+* 320+ contributors

+* 90+ themes

+* 1000s of happy websites

+* Many subprojects like {{< gh "@spf13/cobra">}}, {{< gh "@spf13/viper">}} and

+  {{< gh "@spf13/afero">}} which have experienced broad usage across the Go

+  ecosystem.

+### Highlights

+**Partial Builds:** Prior to this release Hugo would always reread and rebuild

+the entire site. This release introduces support for reactive site building

+while watching (`hugo serve`). Hugo will watch the filesystem for changes and

+only re-read the changed files. Depending on the files change Hugo will

+intelligently re-render only the needed portion of the site. Performance gains

+depend on the operation performed and size of the site. In our testing build

+times decreased anywhere from 10% to 99%.

+**Template Improvements:** Template improvements continue to be a mainstay of

+each Hugo release. Hugo 0.16 adds support for the new `block` keyword

+introduced in Go 1.6 as well as many new template functions.

+**Polish:** As Hugo matures releases will inevitably contain fewer huge new

+features. This release represents hundreds of small improvements across ever

+facet of Hugo which will make for a much better experience for all of our users.
