When using hugo server in version 0.43 all pages fail to render SVGs but all other image types (JPG, PNG etc.) render as normal. Downgrading to 0.42.2 has solved this issue. The src of all images is correct but when attempting to right click and image and view it or open it in a new tab, it instead…

This is a known bug and will be fixed with the next release. https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/4920
