    23    located in the `data` directory ([#885](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/885))
    24  - Support for [dynamic content](http://gohugo.io/extras/dynamiccontent/) by loading JSON & CSV
    25    from remote sources via GetJson and GetCsv in short codes or other layout
    26    files ([#748](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/748))
    27  - [Pagination support](http://gohugo.io/extras/pagination/) for home page, sections and
    28    taxonomies ([#750](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/750))
    29  - Universal sequencing support
    30    - A new, generic Next/Prev functionality is added to all lists of pages
    31      (sections, taxonomies, etc.)

    33  - `Scratch` -- [a "scratchpad"](http://gohugo.io/extras/scratch) for your node- and page-scoped
    34    variables
