A [full history](/docs/history/#v3-5-2) is available for your perusal. As always, please file bugs if you encounter them! Opening a pull request with a failing test for your expected behaviour is the easiest way for us to address the issue since we have a reproducible example to test again. Short of that, please fill out our issue template to the best of your ability and we'll try to get to it quickly!

Many thanks to our contributors without whom this release could not be
possible: Ben Balter & Kyle Zhao.

Happy Jekylling!
