Builds are much faster from today, for both Hugo themes and the official PRSS themes. Clean builds take less than half the time they used to, and repeat builds are close to instant.

What changed

  • Multi-threaded builds: pages are rendered in parallel instead of one after another.
  • Incremental builds: unchanged pages are reused rather than regenerated.
  • Development builds are minified, so publishing no longer needs a rebuild.

The practical effect is that previewing a change is no longer something you plan around. Edit, look, edit again.
