+author: parkr
+version: 1.2.1
+categories: [release]

+
+Quick turnover, anyone? A [recent incompatibility with Liquid
+v2.5.2](https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/pull/1525) produced a nasty bug in
+which `include` tags were not rendered properly within `if` blocks. 
+
+This release also includes a better handling of detached servers (prints pid and
+the command for killing the process). **Note**: the `--detach` flag and
+`--watch` flags are presently incompatible in 1.2.x. Fix for that coming soon!
+
+For a full list of the fixes in this release, check out [the change
+log](/docs/history/)!
