+
+Hello Jekyllers!
+
+The Jekyll team is happy to announce the release of `v4.3.0` shipping with some nice improvements and bug-fixes.
+
+## Improvements
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- Gem `webrick` is now a listed dependency. You no longer have to add the gem to your Gemfile when using Jekyll with
+Ruby 3.0 or newer.
+- You may now use Rouge v4 or continue using Rouge v3.x by explicitly mentioning the version in your Gemfile.
+- Support for gem `tzinfo` v2 and non-half-hour offsets have been added.
+- You will be able to use v3 of `jekyll-sass-converter` when it ships.
+
+### Builds
+
+- Added support for bundling and loading data files from within a theme-gem similar to existing theme-gem contents.
+- Changes to data files at source will now be respected during incremental builds.
+- `site.static_files` now include static files within a collection.
+- You may now configure converters for CSV data.
+- `.jekyll-cache` or its equivalent custom cache directory will be automatically ignored by Git.
+- Vendor the current latest mime-types dataset for use with local development server.
+
+{% raw %}
+### Liquid Templates
+
+- `basename` attribute of documents are now exposed to Liquid as `name`, for example `{{ page.name }}`. Excerpts delegate
+to associated document attribute.
+- Top-level variable `{{ theme }}` introduced to expose gemspec details of theme-gem. (Valid only when using theme-gem)
+{% endraw %}
+
+## Bug-fixes
+
+Some noteworthy bug-fixes include:
+
+- Respect `BUNDLE_GEMFILE` when loading Jekyll plugins via Bundler.
+- Prevent loading versions older than kramdown-2.3.1 as a security measure.
+- Trigger livereloading even if the site has *no pages*.
+- Ensure the expected class of theme config is returned following a merger.
+- Enable BOM encoding only if configured encoding is 'UTF-8'.
+- Respect server protocol while injecting livereload script.
+- The table output for `--profile` stops printing incorrect "TOTALS" row.

+### Announcement
+
+I would like to inform you that following this release, Jekyll will start developing towards a v5.0 milestone that will
+**definitely contain breaking changes**. I have set up a [tentative roadmap at the GitHub repository][roadmap] to give everyone
+a glimpse of the PROBABLE OUTCOME. Towards that end, we will no longer accept documentation fixes on `master`. The `4.3-stable`
+branch will be used to build and deploy the site for https://jekyllrb.com.
+
+Jekyll 3.x series is now under security-maintenance phase. Only security patches will be released when necessary.
+
+Jekyll 4.x series will continue receiving bug-fixes and security-patches only. Depending on the state of progress towards v5.0,
+there will be *at least* one minor version release serving as a transitionary version containing deprecations and bridge code
+to ease the eventual upgrade to v5.0.

+
+That is all for now.
+Happy Jekyllin'!!
