What's New

Adds animated image handling, language translation, and security fixes via Go 1.27.2.

Breaking Changes

  • Hugo now ignores `module.replacements` defined in themes; only the project can define replacements.

New Features

  • `imaging.firstFrameOnly` option to decode/encode only the first frame of animated images.
  • `FrameCount` method on images to check if an image is animated.
  • `site.Language` now has `Translate` and `Format*` methods.
  • New `charset` option for `js.Build` and `css.Build`.
  • Basic support for OSC 7501 program status in terminals.

Improvements

  • Upgrade to Go 1.27.2 with critical security fixes for HTML/template escaping and HTTP/2 stability.
  • Improved terminal progress reporting with basic support for OSC 7501 program status.
  • Improved build performance and dependency management.

Bug Fixes

  • Fails early with an informative error if processing all frames would exceed the WASM memory limit.

Upgrade Notes

Review `module.replacements` in theme configurations as they are now ignored. Check `js.Build` and `css.Build` calls if you use the new `charset` option.
