File names with dots are breaking my site in 0.146+

[Travis_Beckham]

I maintain a documentation site, that has the following content:

content/
└── release-notes/
    ├── _index.md
    ├── stable-1.1.0.md
    ├── stable-1.2.0.md
    └── stable-1.3.0.md

In 0.145.0, the content is rendered as:

release-notes/
├── index.html
├── stable-1.1.0/
│   └── index.html
├── stable-1.2.0/
│   └── index.html
└── stable-1.3.0/
    └── index.html

In 0.146+, the content is rendered as:

release-notes/
├── index.html
└── stable-1
    └── index.html

As you can see, the version in the file name is being treated as a file type.

Is this a bug? If not, what’s the cleanest way to fix my content to preserve the urls in 0.146+?

This is a known breaking change in v0.146.0:
https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/13515

You’ll have to do something like:

hugo new releases/v1-234-5.md

…then modify the slug (optional) and title.

Thanks for confirming this in intentional, and the best way to deal with it.

This will break a lot of our current internal links and URLs. But then, I have to remember Hugo is still in beta (the v 0) hence our team will be sticking with version 0.145.0 for the coming few years.

It would be helpful to see a few example content paths.
