-## **0.16.0** TBD

-* 284 (+50) contributors
-* 77 (+10) themes
+## **0.16.0** June 3nd 2016
+
+Hugo 0.16 is our best and biggest release ever. The Hugo community has
+outdone itself with continued performance improvements,
+[beautiful themes](http://themes.gohugo.io) for all types of sites from project
+sites to documentation to blogs to portfolios, and increased stability.
+
+This release represents **over 550 contributions by over 110 contributors** to
+the main Hugo codebase. Since last release Hugo has **gained 3500 stars, 90
+contributors and 23 additional themes.**
+
+This release celebrates 3 years since {{< gh "@spf13" >}} wrote the first lines
+of Hugo. During those 3 years Hugo has accomplished some major milestones
+including...
+
+* 10,000+ stars on GitHub
+* 320+ contributors
+* 90+ themes
+* 1000s of happy websites
+* Many subprojects like {{< gh "@spf13/cobra">}}, {{< gh "@spf13/viper">}} and
+ {{< gh "@spf13/afero">}} which have experienced broad usage across the Go
+ ecosystem.
+
+### Highlights
+
+**Partial Builds:** Prior to this release Hugo would always reread and rebuild
+the entire site. This release introduces support for reactive site building
+while watching (`hugo serve`). Hugo will watch the filesystem for changes and
+only re-read the changed files. Depending on the files change Hugo will
+intelligently re-render only the needed portion of the site. Performance gains
+depend on the operation performed and size of the site. In our testing build
+times decreased anywhere from 10% to 99%.
+
+**Template Improvements:** Template improvements continue to be a mainstay of
+each Hugo release. Hugo 0.16 adds support for the new `block` keyword
+introduced in Go 1.6 as well as many new template functions.
+
+**Polish:** As Hugo matures releases will inevitably contain fewer huge new
+features. This release represents hundreds of small improvements across ever
+facet of Hugo which will make for a much better experience for all of our users.
