No guarantees are made that the + library will work in any version of Python lower than 2.5. Additionally, while + the library had been tested with Python 2.5, consider Python 2.5 support to be + depreciated. It is not likely that any future versions will continue to + support any version of Python less than 2.6. + +* For many years Python-Markdown has identified `<ins>` and `<del>` tags in raw + HTML input as block level tags. As they are actually inline level tags, this + behavior has been changed. This may result in slightly different output. While + in most cases, the new output is more correct, there may be a few edge cases + where a document author has relied on the previous incorrect behavior. It is + likely that a few adjustments may need to be made to those documents. + +* The behavior of the `enable_attributes` keyword has been slightly altered. If + authors have been using attributes in documents with `safe_mode` on, those + attributes will no longer be parsed unless `enable_attributes` is explicitly + set to `True`. This change was made to prevent untrusted authors from + injecting potentially harmful JavaScript in documents. This change had no + effect when not in `safe_mode`. + +What's New in Python-Markdown 2.2 +--------------------------------- + +The docs were refactored and can now be found at +<http://packages.python.org/Markdown/>. The docs are now maintained in the +Repository and are generated by the `setup.py build_docs` command. + +The [Sane_Lists](../extensions/sane_lists.md) +extension was added. The Sane Lists Extension alters the behavior of the +Markdown List syntax to be less surprising by not allowing the mixing of list +types. In other words, an ordered list will not continue when an unordered list +item is encountered and vice versa. + +Markdown now excepts a full path to an extension module. In other words, your +extensions no longer need to be in the primary namespace (and start with `mdx_`) +for Markdown to find them. Just do `Markdown(extension=['path.to.some.module'])`. +As long as the provided module contains a compatible extension, the extension +will be loaded. + +The BlockParser API was slightly altered to allow `blockprocessor.run` to return +`True` or `False` which provides more control to the block processor loop from +within any Blockprocessor instance. + +Various bug fixes have been made. See the +[commit log](https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/commits/master) +for a complete history of the changes. |
