-Python-Markdown 2.1.0-Alpha Release Notes
-=========================================
-
-We are pleased to release Python-Markdown 2.1-Alpha which makes many 
-improvements on 2.0. In fact, we consider 2.1 to be what 2.0 should have been. 
-While 2.1 consists mostly of bug fixes, bringing Python-Markdown more inline 
-with other implementations, some internal improvements were made to the parser, 
-a few new builtin extensions were added, and HTML5 support was added.
-
-Please be aware that Python-Markdown 2.1-Alpha is *alpha* software and is not
-considered production ready pending the release of 2.1-Final.
-
-Python-Markdown supports Python versions 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2 out of 
-the box. In fact, the same codebase installs on Python 3.1 and 3.2 with no extra 
-work by the end user.
-
-Backwards-incompatible Changes
-------------------------------
-
-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 
-2to3 tool. If you must use Python-Markdown with Python 3.0, it is suggested you 
-manually use Python 3.1's 2to3 tool to do a conversion.
-
-* Python-Markdown previously accepted positional arguments on its class and
-wrapper methods. It now expects keyword arguments. Currently, the positional
-arguments should continue to work, but the solution feels hacky and may be 
-removed in a future version. All users are encouraged to use keyword arguments 
-as documented in [Using Markdown as a Python Library](using_as_module.html).
-
-* Past versions of Python-Markdown provided module level Global variables which
-controlled the behavior of a few different aspects of the parser. Those global
-variables have been replaced with attributes on the Markdown class. 
-Additionally, those attributes are settable as keyword arguments when 
-initializing a class instance. Therefore, if you were editing the global 
-variables (either by editing the source or by overriding them in your code), 
-you should now set them on the class. See [Using Markdown as a Python Library](using_as_module.html)
-for the options available.
-
-* If you have been using the [HeaderID](extensions/header_id.html) extension 
-to define custom ids on headers, you will want to switch to using the new 
-[Attribute List](extensions/attr_list.html) extension. The HeaderId extension now 
-only auto-generates ids on headers which have not already had ids defined. 
-Note that the [Extra](extensions/extra.html) extension has been switched to use 
-Attribute Lists instead of HeaderId as it did previously.
-
-* Some code was moved into the `markdown.util` namespace which was previously
-in the `markdown` namespace. Extension authors may need to adjust a few
-import statements in their extensions to work with the changes.
-
-* The commandline script name was changed to `markdown_py`. The previous name
-(`markdown`) was conflicting with people (and Linux package systems) who also
-had markdown.pl installed on there system as markdown.pl's commandline script
-was also named `markdown`. Be aware that installing Python-Markdown 2.1
-will not remove the old versions of the script with different names. You
-may want to remove them yourself as they are unlikely to work properly.
-
-What's New in Python-Markdown 2.1
----------------------------------
-
-Three new extensions were added. [Attribute Lists](extensions/attr_list.html), which 
-was inspired by Maruku's feature of the same name, 
-[Newline to Break](extensions/nl2br.html), which was inspired by Github Flavored 
-Markdown, and [Smart Strong](extensions/smart_strong.html), which fills a 
-hole in the Extra extension.
-
-HTML5 is now supported. All this really means is that new block level elements 
-introduced in the HTML5 spec are now properly recognized as raw HTML. As
-valid  HTML5 can consist of either HTML4 or XHTML1, there is no need to add a
-new HTML5  searializers. That said, `html5` and `xhtml5` have been added as 
-aliases of the `html4` and `xhtml1` searializers respectively.
-
-An XHTML searializer has been added. Previously, ElementTree's XML searializer 
-was being used for XHTML output. With the new searliazer we are able to avoid
-more invalid output like empty elements (i.e., `<p />`) which can choke 
-browsers.
-
-Improved support for Python 3.x. Now when running `setupy.py install` in 
-Python 3.1 or greater the 2to3 tool is run automatically. Note that Python 3.0 
-is not supported due to a bug in its 2to3 tool. If you must use Python-Markdown
-with Python 3.0, it is suggested you manually use Python 3.1's 2to3 tool to
-do a conversion.
-
-Methods on instances of the Markdown class that do not return results can now
-be changed allowing one to do `md.reset().convert(moretext)`.
-
-The Markdown class was refactored so that a subclass could define it's own 
-`build_parser` method which would build a completely different parser. In
-other words, one could use the basic machinery in the markdown library to 
-build a parser of a different markup language without the overhead of building
-the markdown parser and throwing it away.
-
-Import statements within markdown have been improved so that third party 
-libraries can embed the markdown library if they desire (licencing permitting).
-
-Added support for Python's `-m` command line option. You can run the markdown 
-package as a command line script. Do `python -m markdown [options] [args]`. 
-Note that this is only fully supported in Python 2.7+. Python 2.5 & 2.6 
-require you to call the module directly (`markdown.__main__`) rather than
-the package (`markdown`). This does not work in Python 2.4.
-
-The commandline script has been renamed to `markdown_py` which avoids all the 
-various problems we had with previous names.  Also improved the commandline 
-script to accept input on stdin.
-
-The testing framework has been completely rebuilt using the Nose testing 
-framework. This provides a number of benefits including the ability to better
-test the builtin extensions and other options available to change the parsing 
-behavior. See the [Test Suite](test_suite.html) documentation for details.
-
-Various bug fixes have been made, which are too numerous to list here. See the 
-[commit log](https://github.com/waylan/Python-Markdown/commits/master) for a 
-complete history of the changes.
