Mon 19th December is the scheduled date for a Hugo 0.18 release.
This release contains an unusual amount of structural changes – they are backwards compatible and is tested on the border of Paranoia, but I’m still a little bit surprised I haven’t seen more “my site is broken” – so I would appreciate if those who could would take it for a spin, and report back with any problems.
It builds without any error on v0.18-DEV ( Hugo Static Site Generator v0.18-DEV BuildDate: 2016-12-02T18:15:12-05:00 ), except:

About the “105 pages created”, is there a bug in that calculation?
I did tree -a in both public/ dirs (for 0.17 and 0.18), and that shows the exact file count in both: 114 directories and 211 files.

Not sure what it is, but the definition of page has changed somewhat …
I notice a considerable speedup of your site, too …

Just tested with a build from master branch 15622c80eec. Works correctly for most purposes. Built my current, 0.17-based site without issues. There’s only an issue with refreshing data for sections with server.
I adjusted my template to use the following in layouts/index.html:
{{ range (where .Site.AllPages "Kind" "section").Reverse }}
{{ .Title }}
{{ .Params.teaser }}
{{ end }}
where teaser is set in the front matter of a section, of course, ie. content/foo/_index.md:
---
title: Some Title
teaser: Coming soon!
---
Now when I’m running hugo server, when I change anything in content/foo/_index.md, hugo correctly notices it, refreshes the page in my browser, but the values on the page stay the same. I have to restart hugo server to see the effect.
Interestingly, this works correctly on section pages, ie. when I browse to http://localhost:1313/foo/, the values would be refreshed.
Just a note to the above: AllPages returns ALL pages for ALL sites (if you have only one language it does not matter of course). This may be what you want, but just wanted to point out. .Site.Pages returns the current site’s page collection (oh, and I have added the maybe undocumented .SIte.RegularPages as a shortcut to exclude the home page etc.)
Based on above, the count of 29 already includes the “9 tags” and “5 topics” pages, whereas those counts are printed independently too.
I found the “content page count” as a very useful feedback. Actually that was the main number I paid attention to when publishing.
@bep So while the total count of 29 is kept, can the content page count be re-added as well?
That’s right, after that, I have noticed that the publishing speed is consistently faster too 
On a side note, I have now started publishing using the 0.18-DEV version on Gitlab Pages. Works great!
I notice this on the GitLab build:

Is the GitLab servers so slow?
That’s doing what I’d expect:

Aside: it seems odd that server --verbose doesn’t throw out the version information. It’s a nit.
How are you getting the commit hash in hugo version?
hugo version gives me just
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.18-DEV BuildDate: 2016-12-03T11:56:48-05:00
I’m doing a pull, govendor sync, then make check && make install.
Thanks. I do just go get -u -v --ldflags '-extldflags "-static"' github.com/spf13/hugo, and probably so I get a different version string.
No issues with a slightly bigger site. I don’t have anything using i18n, so can’t compare that to 0.17.

Nothing too surprising building Hugo Docs. I don’t recall the GitInfo error happening before…

I rebuilt my site with the latest code in master and didn’t see any regressions. So thank you! 
I do see some slight differences in the generated index.xmls for different sections, e.g. the following

But these are minor and completely unrelated to the major recent changes.
