 ##### Galleries
 
 Adding galleries has become really simple: upload files into a new folder within `/assets/images/galleries/`.
-Then add: `{% include folder-galleries path="new-folder-name/" %}` where ever you want to display a gallery containing 'new-folder-name's content.
+Then add: `{% include folder-galleries path="new-folder-name/" %}` where ever you want to display a gallery containing `new-folder-name`s content.

+If you want to provide preview images for faster loading, add -th to filename. E.g. `image.jpg` would use `image-th.jpg` as it's preview. Both files have to be in the same folder as specified in the include statement.

+title:  "Ink/Stitch v1.8.0: simplified extension packaging"
+date:   2018-05-20
+categories: information

+
+Please fully delete Ink/Stitch from your extensions directory before installing this version.
+{: .notice--warning}
+
+Ink/Stitch was previously a set of separate scripts, each implementing an extension in a one-to-one correspondence.  Now all of the extensions are implemented by a single python script.  This is an "under-the-hood" only change that should not have any noticeable effects.
+
+There is one big visible improvement: the zip for Linux is one third of the previous size!
