+Python-Markdown 2.4 Release Notes
+=================================
+
+We are pleased to release Python-Markdown 2.4 which adds one new extension
+and fixes various bugs. 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
+------------------------------
+
+* The "force_linenos" config setting of the CodeHilite extension has been
+marked as **Deprecated**. It had previously been marked as "Pending Deprecation"
+in version 2.3 when a new setting "linenums" was 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 "force_linenos" will raise a DeprecationWarning and will likely
+be removed in a future version of Python-Markdown.

+
+What's New in Python-Markdown 2.4
+---------------------------------
+
+* Thanks to the hard work of [Dmitry Shachnev] the [Smarty Extension] has been
+added, which implements [SmartyPants] using Python-Markdown's Extension API.
+This offers a few benefits over a third party sript. The HTML does not need
+to be "tokenized" twice, no hacks are required to combine SmartyPants and
+code highlighting, and we get markdown's escaping feature for free. Please try
+it out and report bugs and/or improvements.
