3.6.2 is out, it's a tiny patch release and we invite you to run `bundle update`
if you want to avoid possible build problems with:
* some UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoded files,
* fully numeric layout names (we convert those to string for you now).
Other changes include updates to our documentation, like this [complete
video series by Giraffe Academy](/tutorials/video-walkthroughs/) aimed at
complete beginners. A big thanks to Mike for this.
And if you're wondering what happened to version 3.6.1, it was just our new
release maintainer getting familiar with the release process. 😄
We try to release patch releases as quickly as possible and we're already
working on the next minor version 3.7.0 that will allow you to store all your
collections in a single directory. Stay tuned.
Theme developers are invited to test the brand new
[`jekyll-remote-theme`](https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-remote-theme) plugin
and give their feedback to @benbalter. This plugin allows you to use any
GitHub hosted theme as a remote theme!
Once again, many thanks to our contributors who helped make this release possible:
ashmaroli, bellvat, Frank Taillandier, i-give-up, Jan Piotrowski, Maximiliano
Kotvinsky, Oliver Steele and Pat Hawks. For some it was their [first
contribution to open-source]({% link

As it's been nine years this week that Tom Preston-Werner started this project,
I also wanna seize this opportunity to thank [all of the 732 contributors](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/graphs/contributors) who
helped make it possible for Jekyll to power millions of websites around the world
today.
Happy Birthday Jekyll! 🎂
