-<div class="note warning">
-  <h5>TZInfo 2.0 incompatibility</h5>
-  <p>
-    Version 2.0 of the TZInfo library has introduced a change in how timezone offsets are calculated.
-    This will result in incorrect date and time for your posts when the site is built with Jekyll 3.x on Windows.
-  </p>
-  <p>
-    We therefore recommend that you lock the Timezone library to version 1.2 and above by listing
-    <code>gem 'tzinfo', '~> 1.2'</code> in your <code>Gemfile</code>.

 ## Auto Regeneration
 
 Jekyll uses the `listen` gem to watch for changes when the `--watch` switch is specified during a build or serve.
