The past fortnight saw a new version release of one of our most popular gems!🎉  
Also, a major theme I noticed during this time is: "Versions! Upgrades,
backwards compatibility, and compliance!"

Contributions were made to the following projects: [Administrate](#administrate),
[factory_bot](#factory_bot), [factory\_bot\_rails](#factory_bot_rails),
thoughtbot's [Guides](#guides), and thoughtbot's
[stylelint Config](#thoughtbot-stylelint-config).
