While Python-Markdown has received only minor internal changes since the last
release, there are a few backward-incompatible changes to note:
+* Support had been dropped for Python 2.3. No guarantees are made that the library
+will work in any version of Python lower than 2.4. Additionally, while the library
+had been tested with Python 2.4, consider Python 2.4 support to be depreciated.
+It is not likely that any future versions will continue to support any version of
+Python less than 2.5. Note that Python 3.0 is not supported due to a bug in its
