+
+It's been about six weeks since v1.2.0 and the Jekyll team is happy to
+announce the arrival of v1.3.0. This is a **huge** release full of all
+sorts of new features, bug fixes, and other things that you're sure to
+love.
+
+Here are a few things we think you'll want to know about this release:
+
+* You can add arbitrary data to the site by adding YAML files under a
+  site's `_data` directory. This will allow you to avoid
+  repetition in your templates and to set site specific options without
+  changing `_config.yml`.
+
+* You can now Run `jekyll serve --detach` to boot up a WEBrick server in the
+  background. **Note:** you'll need to run `kill [server_pid]` to shut
+  the server down. When ran, you'll get a process id that you can use in
+  place of `[server_pid]`
+
+* You can now **disable automatically-generated excerpts** if you set
+  `excerpt_separator` to `""`.
+
+* If you're moving pages and posts, you can now check for **URL
+  conflicts** by running `jekyll doctor`.
+
+* If you're a fan of the drafts feature, you'll be happy to know we've
+  added `-D`, a shortened version of `--drafts`.
+
+* Permalinks with special characters should now generate without errors.
+
+* Expose the current Jekyll version as the `jekyll.version` Liquid
+  variable.
