+Hey, folks! Bunch of bug fixes here. Notables:
+
+* Only superdirectories of `_posts` will be categories.
+* `:title` in permalink templates are now properly cased as before
+* `.jekyll-metadata` being erroneously written when not using incremental build.
+* Failure in liquid will now always fail the `jekyll` process.
+* All hooks should now be properly registered & documented
+
+And a bunch more changes which you can see over in the
+[changelog](/docs/history).
+
+Thanks to the 17 developers who contributed code and documentation to this
+patch release: Alfred Xing, Christian Trosell, Jordan Thornquest, Jordon
+Bedwell, Larry Fox, Lawrence Murray, Lewis Cowles, Matt Rogers, Nicole
+White, Parker Moore, Paul Robert Lloyd, Sarah Kuehnle, Vincent Wochnik,
+Will Norris, XhmikosR, chrisfinazzo, and rebornix.
