New updates have been made to both Sage and Soil. The changelog is small and mostly minor for both projects. We’ve moved HTML5 Boilerplate’s Google Analytics snippet out of Sage and turned it into a Soil module.

Since Sage is a starter theme you usually don’t need to update. You can manually roll bring down changes, or you can do something like this:

You can add it in setup.php, with the other Soil stuff.

```
add_theme_support('soil-google-analytics', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'wp_footer');
```

Instructions are in the [source](https://github.com/roots/soil/blob/master/modules/google-analytics.php#L10)

Thanks! I found the code in a newer version of settings.php and setup() function.
