--- date: 2018-01-31 title: "Hugo 0.35: Headless Bundles!" description: "Headless Bundles, disable languages, improves fast render mode, and much more." categories: ["Releases"] --- The most notable new feature in Hugo `0.35` is perhaps **Headless Bundles**. This means that you in your `index.md` front matter can say: ```yaml headless: true ``` And * it will have no `Permalink` and no rendered HTML in `/public` * it will not be part of `.Site.RegularPages` etc. But you can get it by: * `.Site.GetPage ...` The use cases are many: * Shared media libraries * Reusable page content "snippets" * ... But this release contains more goodies than possible to sum up in one paragraph, so study the release notes carefully. It represents **42 contributions by 8 contributors** to the main Hugo code base. [@bep](https://github.com/bep) leads the Hugo development with a significant amount of contributions, but also a big shoutout to [@vassudanagunta](https://github.com/vassudanagunta), [@yanzay](https://github.com/yanzay), and [@robertbasic](https://github.com/robertbasic) for their ongoing contributions. And as always a big thanks to [@digitalcraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman) for his relentless work on keeping the documentation and the themes site in pristine condition. Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs), which has received **28 contributions by 5 contributors**. A special thanks to [@bep](https://github.com/bep), [@kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi), [@regisphilibert](https://github.com/regisphilibert), and [@salim-b](https://github.com/salim-b) for their work on the documentation site. Hugo now has: * 22967+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers) * 448+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors) * 197+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/) ##
