Hi,  
I think I found and issue with Hugo and need to check with previous version.  
Currently brew installing 0.82.1 but would like to install on macOS 0.82.0  
any easy method to do that?

`brew install hug@0.82.0` not working.

Downgrading with homebrew is [kind of painful](https://remarkablemark.org/blog/2017/02/03/install-brew-package-version/) these days, but it can be done.

For quick comparison, though, just download the Mac release of 0.82.0 from the [github releases page](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases), unpack the tarball, and run that version of hugo directly:

```auto
curl -s -L https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.82.0/hugo_0.82.0_macOS-64bit.tar.gz | tar xzf - hugo
xattr -c hugo
./hugo

```
