9 Hugo reached [30 000 stars on GitHub](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers) this week, which is a good occasion to do a follow-up release of the great Hugo `0.50`. This is mostly a bug fix release, but it also adds some useful new functionality, two examples are the new template funcs [complement](https://gohugo.io/functions/complement/) and [symdiff](https://gohugo.io/functions/symdiff/). This release also continues the work on improving Hugo's error messages. And with `.Position` now available on shortcodes, you can also improve your own error messages inside your custom shortcodes:
10
11
12 ```bash
13 {{ with .Get "name" }}
14 {{ else }}
15 {{ errorf "missing value for param 'name': %s" .Position }}
16 {{ end }}
17 ```
18
19 When the above fails, you will see an `ERROR` log similar to the below:
20
21 ```bash
22 ERROR 2018/11/07 10:05:55 missing value for param name: "/sites/hugoDocs/content/en/variables/shortcodes.md:32:1"
23 ```
24
25 This release represents **31 contributions by 5 contributors** to the main Hugo code base.
