+version: 1.4.2
+categories: [release]

+
+This release fixes [a regression][] where Maruku fenced code blocks were turned
+off, instead of the previous default to on. We've added a new default
+configuration to our `maruku` config key: `fenced_code_blocks` and set it to
+default to `true`.
+
+If you do not wish to use Maruku fenced code blocks, you may turn this option
+off in your site's configuration file.
