A big thank to Mike for this. + +And if you're wondering what happened to version 3.6.1, it was just our new +release maintainer getting familiar with the release process 😄 + +We try to release patch releases as quickly as possible and we're already +working on the next minor version 3.7.0 that will allow you to store all your +collections in a single directory. Stay tuned. + +Theme developers are invited to test the brand new +[`jekyll-remote-theme`](https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-remote-theme) plugin +and give their feedback to @benbalter. This plugin allows you to use any +GitHub hosted theme as a remote theme! + +Once again, many thanks to our contributors who helped make this release possible: +ashmaroli, bellvat, Frank Taillandier, i-give-up, Jan Piotrowski, Maximiliano +Kotvinsky, Oliver Steele and Pat Hawks. For some it was their [first +contribution to open-source]({% link +_posts/2017-10-19-diversity-open-source.markdown %}) 👏 + +As it's been nine years this week that Tom Preston-Werner started this project, +I also wanna seize this opportunity to thank [all of the 732 contributors](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/graphs/contributors) who +helped make it possible for Jekyll to power millions of around the world +today. + +Happy Birthday Jekyll! 🎂
