Did Hugo 0.65 and newer break every relref on my site?

Hi,
I was using Hugo 0.64.1 for a large web-site. I have the following structure:

content
    news
        news1
            index.de.md
            index.es.md
            index.fr.md
            index.md
        news2
            index.de.md
            index.es.md
            index.fr.md
            index.md

With version 0.64.1, language files news2/index.md, news2/index.de.md, news2/index.es.md, news2/index.fr.md all included links like [news1]({{< relref "news1" >}}) and Hugo was smart enough to create a relative link to the news1 page with the correct language.

This doesn’t work anymore with version 0.65 and later :frowning: I have multiple REF_NOT_FOUND errors.

Is this a bug ? Or a new restriction ? Hopefully I do not have to go over thousands of .md pages to fix every link ?

Thank you.

I am unable to reproduce this problem with:

Hugo Static Site Generator v0.71.1/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2020-05-25T13:06:06Z.

Thank you for your help @jmooring
I think I found out the source of the problem as the one mentioned is indeed fixed in v0.71.1: I had folders with a dot in them, and that is still broken in version v0.71.1. It used to work fine in version 0.64.1. For example, if from the previous example, the folder news1 is renamed news.v1 and you create a link [news1]({{< relref "news.v1" >}}), it will show the REF_NOT_FOUND error.
Thankfully, I do not have that many entries with a dot inside.
