9 Hugo `0.36` announces **smart cropping** of images, using the [library](https://github.com/muesli/smartcrop) created by [muesli](https://github.com/muesli). We will work with him to improve this even more in the future, but this is now the default used when cropping images in Hugo.
10
11 Go [here](http://hugotest.bep.is/resourcemeta/smartcrop/) for a list of examples.

13 This release represents **7 contributions by 3 contributors** to the main Hugo code base.
14
15 Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs),
16 which has received **9 contributions by 4 contributors**. A special thanks to [@bep](https://github.com/bep), [@Jibec](https://github.com/Jibec), [@Nick-Rivera](https://github.com/Nick-Rivera), and [@kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi) for their work on the documentation site.

21 * 23100+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers)
22 * 448+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors)
23 * 197+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/)

25 ## Notes
26 Hugo now defaults to **smart crop** when cropping images, if you don't specify it when calling `.Fill`.
27
28 You can get the old default by adding this:
29
30 {{< code-toggle file="config" >}}
31 [imaging]
32 anchor = "center"
33 {{< /code-toggle >}}
34
35 Also, we have removed the superflous anchor name from the processed filenames that does not use this anchor, so it can be wise to run `hugo --gc` once to remove unused images.
