i think it is not a good idea to upgrade hugo straight away i will give 1-2 weeks now before upgrading the version. the link you shared have a suggestion
recommend wait for the
v0.97.3and roll back to thev0.97.0
but i had the issue with version 0.97.0 so i suppose i have to go back before that version and wait for 0.97.3 to be released.
downgrading hugo is a painfull procees trying to remember and search how i did it the last time.
