+title: 'Jekyll 3.0.5 Released'
+date: 2016-04-26 17:40:44 -0700
+author: parkr
+version: 3.0.5
+categories: [release]
+---
+
+This version fixes a bug affecting only v3.0.4 where autoregeneration was
+*always* disabled when running Jekyll locally. This feature is a huge
+reason why Jekyll (or any static site generator, for that matter) is a joy
+to use. Sorry for the regression!
+
+If you're using GitHub Pages, [you can follow the progress of the upgrade
+on the github/pages-gem repo](https://github.com/github/pages-gem/pull/285).
+
+As always, our [history doc](/docs/history/#v3-0-5) has links to the pull
+requests and issues associated with the release for your perusal.
+
+We're looking forward to the upcoming release of v3.2 which [has some
+excellent goodies](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/blob/master/History.markdown#head)
+we think you'll love.
+
+Happy Jekylling!
