--- date: 2018-05-25 title: "Hugo 0.41: Privacy Configuration for GDPR" description: "Hugo 0.41 adds a new site configuration section to meet the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)." categories: ["Releases"] --- In Hugo `0.41` we add a new **Privacy Configuration** section to meet the new regulations in the new **General Data Protection Regulation ([GDPR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation))**. Many have contributed work on this project, but a special thanks to [@onedrawingperday](https://github.com/onedrawingperday), [@jhabdas](https://github.com/jhabdas), and [@it-gro](https://github.com/it-gro). > You can read more about the new Privacy Config [here](https://gohugo.io/about/hugo-and-gdpr/). Hugo now has: * 25917+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers) * 446+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors) * 231+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/) ## Notes * We have fixed an issue where we sent the wrong `.Site` object into the archetype templates used in `hugo new`. This meant that if you wanted to access site params and some other fields you needed to use `.Site.Info.Params` etc. This release fixes that so now you can use the same construct in the archetype templates as in the regular templates. ## Enhancements * Alias tweet shortode to twitter [3bfe8f4b](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/3bfe8f4be653f44674293685cb5750d90668b2f6)
