2.5.5

Documentation:

• Fixed a typo in section 2.2.1.
• Documented that the contentBlocksCode renderer receives five arguments.
• Updated information in the documentation bibliography.
• Incremented the year in copyright notices.

2.5.4

Fixes:

• \markdownInfo and \markdownWarning start a new line in the plain TeX
  implementation.
• Lua errors are now caught even with shell escape.

Development:

• Added an outputDir option that enables the use of the TeX -output-directory
  option.

2.5.3

Fixes:

• Added a missing file examples/scientists.csv to the CTAN archive.

Documentation:

• Added examples into the TDS archive.
• Replaced tux in the examples with a generic example image.

Development:

• Updated the code for initializing testfiles.

2.5.2

Fixes:

• Added proper support for trailing internal punctuation in citations.

2.5.1

Fixes:

• Tab-indented fenced code is now supported.
• Added missing underscore to parsers.internal_punctuation.
• Removed unnecessary internal punctuation escaping ($&~) in citations.

Documentation:

• Corrected typo in bibliography.

2.5.0

New features:

• Added the codeSpans and underscores options.

Documentation:

• Reordered options alphabetically.

2.4.0

Fixes:

• Fixed the number of arguments in the \markdownError dummy definition.

New features:

• Added the iA Writer content blocks syntax extension.

Documentation:

• Fixed errors in the Lua interface documentation.
• Fixed a typo in the tests/templates directory documentation.

Development:

• Added parallelized unit testing.

2.3.0

Fixes:

• ConTeXt module no longer mishandles active characters from \enableregime.
• Shell access is no longer necessary with ConTeXt MarkIV.
• The default renderers now render strong emphasis using a bold font face
  rather than a bold-italic font face.
• Lazy blockquotes are now parsed properly.

New features:

• Added optional HTML support; when the support is enabled, the Markdown reader
  will recognize HTML elements, entities, instructions, and comments in the
  input.
• Added optional breakable blockquotes support; when the support is enabled,
  blockquotes can be split apart using blank lines.

Documentation:

• Documented the behavior of the -output-directory TeX option.

Development:

• Removed unnecessary PEG patterns.
• PEG patterns are now hash table entries rather than local variables; this was
  a necessary step due to the local variable number limit. This change was also
  backported to and merged by the upstream project.
• The unit test templates now use M4 instead of ad-hoc sed string replacement.
• The Lua text buffering routine was removed as it only introduced complexity
  to the package with no tangible benefits. All text buffering is now done in
  TeX. As a corrolary, the \markdownLuaRegisterIBCallback and
  \markdownLuaUnregisterIBCallback macros have been deprecated.

2.2.2

Fixes:

• Inline footnotes can now be enabled via the LaTeX interface.

Development:

• Added inline footnotes to the example documents.
