See the list of changes -below for details. - -Python-Markdown supports Python versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3. - -Backwards-incompatible Changes ------------------------------- - -* Support has been dropped for Python 2.5. No guarantees are made that the -library will work in any version of Python lower than 2.6. As all supported -Python versions include the ElementTree library, Python-Markdown will no -longer try to import a third-party installation of ElementTree. - -* All classes are now "new-style" classes. In other words, all classes -subclass from 'object'. While this is not likely to affect most users, -extension authors may need to make a few minor adjustments to their code. - -* "safe_mode" has been further restricted. Markdown formatted links must be -of a known white-listed scheme when in "safe_mode" or the URL is discarded. -The white-listed schemes are: 'HTTP', 'HTTPS', 'FTP', 'FTPS', 'MAILTO', and -'news'. Schemeless URLs are also permitted, but are checked in other ways - -as they have been for some time. - -* The ids assigned to footnotes now contain a dash (`-`) rather than a colon -(`:`) when `output_format` it set to `"html5"` or `"xhtml5"`. If you are making -reference to those ids in your JavaScript or CSS and using the HTML5 output, -you will need to update your code accordingly. No changes are necessary if -you are outputting XHTML (the default) or HTML4. - -* The `force_linenos` configuration setting of the CodeHilite extension has been -marked as **Pending Deprecation** and a new setting `linenums` has been added to -replace it. See documentation for the [CodeHilite Extension] for an explanation -of the new `linenums` setting. The new setting will honor the old -`force_linenos` if it is set, but it will raise a `PendingDeprecationWarning` -and will likely be removed in a future version of Python-Markdown. - -[CodeHilite Extension]: extensions/codehilite.html - -* The "RSS" extension has been removed and no longer ships with Python-Markdown. -If you would like to continue using the extension (not recommended), it is -archived on [GitHub](https://gist.github.com/waylan/4773365). - -* The "HTML Tidy" Extension has been removed and no longer ships with Python-Markdown. -If you would like to continue using the extension (not recommended), it is -archived on [GitHub](https://gist.github.com/waylan/5152650). Note that the -underlying library, uTidylib, is not Python 3 compatible. Instead, it is -recommended that the newer [PyTidyLib] (version 0.2.2+ for Python 3 -comparability - install from GitHub not PyPI) be used. As the API for that -library is rather simple, it is recommended that the output of Markdown be -wrapped in a call to PyTidyLib rather than using an extension (for example: -`tidylib.tidy_fragment(markdown.markdown(source), options={...})`). - -[PyTidyLib]: http://countergram.com/open-source/pytidylib - -What's New in Python-Markdown 2.3 ---------------------------------- - -* The entire code base now universally runs in Python 2 and Python 3 without -any need for running the 2to3 conversion tool. This not only simplifies testing, -but by using Unicode_literals, results in more consistent behavior across -Python versions. Additionally, the relative imports (made possible in Python 2 -via absolute_import) allows the entire library to more easily be embedded in a -sub-directory of another project. The various files within the library will -still import each other properly even though 'markdown' may not be in Python's -root namespace. - -* The [Admonition Extension] has been added, which implements [rST-style][rST] -admonitions in the Markdown syntax. However, be warned that this extension -is experimental and the syntax and behavior is still subject to change. Please -try it out and report bugs and/or improvements. - -[Admonition Extension]: extensions/admonition.html -[rST]: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#specific-admonitions - -* 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. |
