+
+ Hugo `0.79.0` is a small, but useful release. You can now set custom `.Params` in your [menu](https://gohugo.io/content-management/menus/) configuration, and you can now also override deeply nested snake_cased configuration variables with [OS environment variables](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/#configure-with-environment-variables). Other than that we have refreshed all the core upstream dependencies. A special thanks to [@alecthomas](https://github.com/alecthomas) (some new [Chroma lexers](https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma/releases/tag/v0.8.2) and fixes) and [@evanw](https://github.com/evanw) ([ESBuild](https://github.com/evanw/esbuild)).
+
+This release represents **33 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 [@AdamKorcz](https://github.com/AdamKorcz), and [@davidejones](https://github.com/davidejones) for their ongoing contributions. And a big thanks to [@digitalcraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman) for his relentless work on keeping the themes site in pristine condition and to [@davidsneighbour](https://github.com/davidsneighbour), [@coliff](https://github.com/coliff) and [@kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi) for all the great work on the documentation site.
+
+Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs),
+which has received **13 contributions by 11 contributors**. A special thanks to [@Valac01](https://github.com/Valac01), [@bep](https://github.com/bep), [@mhansen](https://github.com/mhansen), and [@chanjarster](https://github.com/chanjarster) for their work on the documentation site.
