Hey! After many months of hard work by Jekyll’s contributors, we’re excited to announce the first major release of the project in a long while. v1.0.0 is finally here! While the list of improvements and bug fixes is quite lengthy, here are the highlights (thanks to @benbalter for the examples and for compiling this list):

• Support for the Gist tag for easily embedding Gists (example)
• Automatically generated post excerpts (example)
• Save and preview drafts before publishing (example)

Take a look at the Upgrading page in the docs for more detailed information.
