Features

• Users can now use regex to ignore files based on file paths that match the regex(es) specified
• Users can now specify that the YAML timestamp value will be in UTC

Docs

• Some wording updates were added to a couple of rules to help clarify how certain rules work

Bugs

• Fixes Blockquote Style removing spaces from list item code and math blocks
• Fixes YAML Title Alias not respecting multiline format when the alias key is empty and preserve existing format is enabled
• Fixes a scenario where linting in Live Preview would mess up the markdown in the file since it tried to update the frontmatter piecemeal
