🎉 Minimal Mistakes now comes packaged as a gem for those of you self hosting and using Jekyll 3.3.0. If you're hosting with GitHub the old "fork" method is your only option until 3rd party gem themes are white-listed by GitHub.
v4 Breaking Change: Paths for image headers, overlays, teasers, galleries, and feature rows have changed and now require a full path. Instead of just image: filename.jpg you'll need to use the full path eg: image: /assets/images/filename.jpg. The preferred location is now /assets/images/ but can be placed elsewhere or external hosted. This all applies for image references in _config.yml and author.yml as well.
