+title: 'Jekyll 2.1.1 Released'

+author: parkr
+version: 2.1.1
+categories: [release]
+---
+
+This is a minor release for Jekyll 2.1.0. It fixes a couple bugs and
+introduces fixes for a couple security-related issues.
+
+It covers two security vulnerabilities:
+
+1. One in the reading of data
+2. One in the `layouts` setting
+
+They were identified in Jekyll 1.5.1 and has been confirmed as patched
+in this version and the version used by GitHub Pages. If you are in the
+business of building Jekyll sites, please ensure you upgrade to 2.1.1 as
+soon as possible.
+
+For more, check out [`jekyll/jekyll#2563`](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/pull/2563).
+
+Additionally, the dependency on Maruku has been loosened and a bug was
+fixed with document URLs.
+
+As always, check out the [full changelog](/docs/history/) for more info!
+
+Happy Jekylling!
