Happy Holidays, everyone.

Jekyll v2.5.3 is a quick patch release, containing some minor fixes. See the
[full history](/docs/history/) for more info. If you notice any problems,
please [let us know]({{ site.help_url }}).

This release also marks the start of Jekyll 3 development. I wrote about it
over on my personal blog: [Jekyll 3 — The Road Ahead](https://byparker.com/blog/2014/jekyll-3-the-road-ahead/).
Feel free to chime in over on GitHub.

Happy Jekylling!
