+**Hugo 0.58** adds the long sought after [Exif (docs)](https://gohugo.io/content-management/image-processing/#exif) method on image and a bunch of useful [image filters (docs)](https://gohugo.io/functions/images/#image-filters), courtesy of [@disintegration](https://github.com/disintegration)'s great [Gift](https://github.com/disintegration/gift) image library.
+
+This means that you now can do variations of this:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $blurryGrayscale := $myimage.Resize "300x200" | images.Filter images.Grayscale (images.GaussianBlur 8) }}
+{{ $exif := $myimg.Exif }}
+```
+
+It's worth noting that the issue that enabled/triggered the implementation of the above was the simplifications needed to fix [#5903](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/5903), which makes sure that type information is preserved when processed via **Hugo Pipes**. E.g. you can now do:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ ($myimg | fingerprint ).Width }}
+```
+
+And it works as expected.
+
+This release is also built with the brand new **Go 1.13** which means that it's also the [fastest Hugo version](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/hugo-benchmarks-go-1-12-vs-go-1-13/20572/5) to date.

This release represents **39 contributions by 5 contributors** to the main Hugo code base.[@bep](https://github.com/bep) leads the Hugo development with a significant amount of contributions, but also a big shoutout to [@niklasfasching](https://github.com/niklasfasching), [@vazrupe](https://github.com/vazrupe), and [@jakejarvis](https://github.com/jakejarvis) for their ongoing contributions.
