+
+Hello Jekyllers!
+
+Publishing a small bug-fix release with the following patches:
+
+* Relax version-constraint on gem `wdm` in Gemfile created by `jekyll new`.
+* Patch `Jekyll::Drops::ThemeDrop#root` to render absolute path to theme-gem only if `JEKYLL_ENV` is explicitly set
+  to string `development`.
+
+That is all for now.
+Happy Jekyllin'!!
