make a new release from current master?

i'm aware this is in maintenance mode, but i think it would it be very helpful to make a new release from current master.

i recently updated my jekyll site to the new ruby version, and this plugin broke, which broke my whole site, including breaking existing markdown files, and only showed an error message that didn't have any information that would help narrow down the issue. (which function, which plugin, etc. errored.) i had to go looking through all of my jekyll plugins and all jekyll itself and my theme searching for a needle in a haystack.

what allowed me to un-break my site was this message: #57 (comment), so that my site now tracks a local checkout of current master branch. if a release had been made, it would have just upgraded to latest release, and not broken.
