    11  Hugo is going global with our 0.17 release.  We put a lot of thought into how we could extend Hugo
    12  to support multilingual websites with the most simple and elegant experience. Hugo's multilingual
    13  capabilities rival the best web and documentation software, but Hugo's experience is unmatched.
    14  If you have a single language website, the simple Hugo experience you already love is unchanged.
    15  Adding additional languages to your website is simple and straightforward. Hugo has been completely
    16  internally rewritten to be multilingual aware with translation and internationalization features
    17  embedded throughout Hugo.
    18  
    19  Hugo continues its trend of each release being faster than the last. It's quite a challenge to consistently add
    20  significant new functionality and simultaneously dramatically improve performance. {{<gh "@bep">}} has made it
    21  his personal mission to apply the Go mantra of "Enable more. Do less" to Hugo. Hugo's consistent improvement
    22  is a testament to his brilliance and his dedication to his craft. Hugo additionally benefits from the
    23  performance improvements from the Go team in the Go 1.7 release.
    24  
    25  This release represents **over 300 contributions by over 70 contributors** to
    26  the main Hugo code base. Since last release Hugo has **gained 2000 stars, 50 new
    27  contributors and 20 additional themes.**
    28  
    29  Hugo now has:
    30  
    31  * 12,000 stars on GitHub
    32  * 370+ contributors
    33  * 110+ themes
    34  
    35  {{<gh "@bep" >}} continues to lead the project with the lionshare of contributions
    36  and reviews. A special thanks to {{<gh "@bep" >}} and {{<gh "@abourget" >}} for their
    37  considerable work on multilingual support.
    38  
    39  A big welcome to newcomers {{<gh "@MarkDBlackwell" >}}, {{<gh "@bogem" >}} and
    40  {{<gh "@g3wanghc" >}} for their critical contributions.
    41  
    42  ### Highlights
    43  
    44  **Multilingual Support:**
    45  Hugo now supports multiple languages side-by-side. A single site can now have multiple languages rendered with
    46  full support for translation and i18n.
    47  
    48  **Performance:**
    49  Hugo is faster than ever! Hugo 0.17 is not only our fastest release, it's also the most efficient.
    50  Hugo 0.17 is **nearly twice as fast as Hugo 0.16** and uses about 10% less memory.
    51  This means that the same site will build in nearly half the time it took with Hugo 0.16.
    52  For the first time Hugo sites are averaging well under 1ms per rendered content.
    53  
    54  **Docs overhaul:**
    55  This release really focused on improving the documentation. [Gohugo.io](http://gohugo.io) is
    56  more accurate and complete than ever.
    57  
    58  **Support for macOS Sierra**
