+Python-Markdown 2.2.0 Release Notes
+===================================
+
+We are pleased to release Python-Markdown 2.2 which makes improvements on 2.1. 
+While 2.1 is primarily a bug fix release, some internal improvements were made 
+to the parser, and a few security issues were resolved.
+
+Python-Markdown supports Python versions 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2 out 
+of the box. 
+
+__Note__ that this is BETA Software and is not recommended for production.
+
+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 2.4. 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 2.1
+---------------------------------
+
+The docs were refactored and can now be found at 
+<http://packages.python.org/Markdown/>. The docs are now maintained in the
+Repo and are generated by the `setup.py build_docs` command.
+
+The [Sane_Lists](http://packages.python.org/Markdown/extensions/sane_lists.html)
+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 proccessor loop from 
+within any Blockprocessor instance.
+
+Various bug fixes have been made. See the 
+[commit log](https://github.com/waylan/Python-Markdown/commits/master) 
+for a complete history of the changes.
