9 Hugo `0.77.0` is a small, but useful release. Some notable updates are:
10
11 * **time.AsTime** accepts an optional location as second parameter, allowing timezone aware printing of dates.
12 * You can now build with `go install -tags nodeploy` if you don't need the **`hugo deploy`** feature.
13 * Remote **`getJSON`** errors can now be ignored by adding `ignoreErrors = ["error-remote-getjson"]` to your site config.
14
15 There are also several useful **[Hugo Modules](https://gohugo.io/hugo-modules/)** enhancements:
16
17 * We have added `Replacements` to the [Module Configuration](https://gohugo.io/hugo-modules/configuration/#module-config-top-level). This should enable a much simpler developer workflow, simpler to set up preview sites for your remote theme etc, as you now can do `env HUGO_MODULE_REPLACEMENTS="github.com/bep/myprettytheme -> ../.." hugo` and similar.
18 * The module `Path` for local modules can now be absolute for imports defined in the project.
19
20 This release represents **38 contributions by 11 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 [@moorereason](https://github.com/moorereason), and [@anthonyfok](https://github.com/anthonyfok) for their ongoing contributions.

22 And a big thanks to [@digitalcraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman) for his relentless work on keeping the themes site in pristine condition and to [@davidsneighbour](https://github.com/davidsneighbour), [@coliff](https://github.com/coliff) and [@kaushalmodi](https://github.com/kaushalmodi) for all the great work on the documentation site.
23
24 Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs),
25 which has received **3 contributions by 3 contributors**.
