Hugo no longer generates the homepage index.html from the root of the content folder

In a single page website, I have a content/index.html file in the root of the content folder.

When using Hugo 0.19, the homepage /index.html was correctly generated in the root of the website.

After upgrading to Hugo 0.20.2, the file is now generated in
/index/index.html

and an index.xml file is generated in the root of the site, which appears to be a RSS file:
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

P.S. I’m using a single layout file in _layouts/default/single.html

@anaurelian Can you point me to your source? Even for v19, a lot of what you wrote seems a bit…not Hugo-ish. For example, content/ is usually reserved for content markup formats (viz., markdown). The index.html should be in layouts and will not render according to a single.html layout, not did it with v19.

I’d like to help, but I need to look at a bit more source, please :smile:
