Unlike prior releases, this is a simple maintenance release and may be skipped. + +For those who are still curious about the current release, here is some technical context: The previous `jekyll-4.2.1` package was built and +published using a Windows system. A side-effect of that action was that every file bundled into the gem ended up with Windows-style CRLF +line-endings instead of Unix-style LF line-endings. + +For our end-users, this difference holds no significance. However, a third-party entity vendoring the release faced a roadblock. The executable +program `jekyll` apparently misplaced the executable bit because of the change in line-endings. + +To that end, the Jekyll team decided to use the GitHub Actions service to build and publish releases. In-house plugins have already published +releases via this route serving as trials. Henceforth, and unless explicitly reported, all Jekyll releases will be built on GitHub Actions' +Ubuntu platform and published to Rubygems by @jekyllbot irrespective of the maintainer overseeing the release. + +That is all for now. +Happy Jekyllin'!! + +*P.S.: Jekyll 4.3.0 will be bringing you some new features very soon.. Also, our sass-converter plugin has been [enhanced][sass-220] to support +modern improvements to Sass.* + +[sass-220]: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-sass-converter/tree/v2.2.0#sass-embedded
