- Removed the no-op `outputDir` Lua option.

Documentation:

- Added a user manual.
- Added information for contributors to the README document.
- Increased portability of the technical documentation by using a built-in
  BibLaTeX style.
- Rewrote the technical documentation in markdown using the new
  `stripPercentSign` Lua option.

Miscellaneous:

- Tuned the continuous integration service configuration, so that tests run
  under 15 minutes.

## 2.5.4 (2017-09-12)

Fixes:

- `\markdownInfo` writes only to the log in the plain TeX implementation.
- `\markdownInfo` and `\markdownWarning` start a new line in the plain TeX
  implementation.
- Lua errors are now caught even with shell escape.

Development:

- Added an `outputDir` option that enables the use of the TeX
  `-output-directory` option.

## 2.5.3 (2017-05-07)

Fixes:

- Added a missing file `examples/scientists.csv` to the CTAN archive.

Documentation:

- Added examples into the TDS archive.
- Replaced tux in the examples with a generic example image.

Development:

- Updated the code for initializing testfiles.

## 2.5.2 (2017-04-28)

Fixes:

- Added proper support for trailing internal punctuation in citations.

## 2.5.1 (2017-04-27)

Fixes:

- Tab-indented fenced code is now supported.
- Added missing underscore to `parsers.internal_punctuation`.
- Removed unnecessary internal punctuation escaping (`$&~`) in citations.

Documentation:

- Corrected typo in bibliography.

## 2.5.0 (2017-04-10)

New features:

- Added the `codeSpans` and `underscores` options.

Documentation:

- Reordered options alphabetically.

## 2.4.0 (2017-03-27)

Fixes:

- Fixed the number of arguments in the `\markdownError` dummy definition.

New features:

- Added [the iA Writer content blocks syntax
  extension](https://github.com/Witiko/markdown/issues/4).

Documentation:

- Fixed errors in the Lua interface documentation.
- Fixed a typo in the `tests/templates` directory documentation.

Development:

- Added parallelized unit testing.

## 2.3.0 (2017-01-05)

Fixes:

- ConTeXt module no longer mishandles active characters from `\enableregime`.
- Shell access is no longer necessary with ConTeXt MarkIV.
- The default renderers now render strong emphasis using a bold font face
  rather than a bold-italic font face.
- Lazy blockquotes are now parsed properly.

New features:

- Added optional HTML support; when the support is enabled, the Markdown reader
  will recognize HTML elements, entities, instructions, and comments in the
  input.
- Added optional breakable blockquotes support; when the support is enabled,
  blockquotes can be split apart using blank lines.

Documentation:

- Documented the behavior of the `-output-directory` TeX option.

Development:

- Removed unnecessary PEG patterns.
- PEG patterns are now hash table entries rather than local variables; this was
  a necessary step due to the local variable number limit. This change was also
  backported to and merged by the
  [upstream project](https://github.com/jgm/lunamark).
- The unit test templates now use M4 instead of ad-hoc sed string replacement.
- The Lua text buffering routine was removed as it only introduced complexity
  to the package with no tangible benefits. All text buffering is now done in
  TeX. As a corrolary, the `\markdownLuaRegisterIBCallback` and
  `\markdownLuaUnregisterIBCallback` macros have been deprecated.

## 2.2.2 (2016-12-09)

Fixes:

- Inline footnotes can now be enabled via the LaTeX interface.

Development:

New features:

- Added Pandoc-style inline footnotes.

## 2.1.3 (2016-09-15)

Fixes:

- Expanded the documentation on `hashEnumerators`.

## 2.1.1 (2016-09-06)

Fixes:

- The citations extension should now be fully compliant with the
  [Pandoc spec](http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#citations).
- The `citationNbsps` option now also affects newlines, as is expected.
- The default `\markdownOptionCacheDir` explicitly specifies the current
  working directory, so that the cache files are not sought in the TeX
  directory structure.

Documentation:

- Added information about the supported LuaTeX versions.
- Added information about the portable use of the package.

Development:

- All the syntax extensions (fenced code blocks and citations) were merged by
  the [upstream project](http://github.com/jgm/lunamark).

  - `inputFencedCode`.
- Added the following Lua options:
  - `citations`, `citationNbsps`,
  - `fencedCode`, and `blankBeforeCodeFence`.

- Code spans may now be empty.

Fixes:

  if the input of the conversion function ends with `\n\n`, `\n`, or nothing.
- LaTeX interface `rendererPrototypes` keys for the `pipe`, `link`, and `image`
  renderers no longer incorrectly set the `\markdownRenderers<Renderer>` macros
  rather than the  `\markdownRenderers<Renderer>Prototype` macros.

- Fixed nested `keyval` handling inside `\markdownSetup` et al.

  under TeXLive 2012.

Development:

- Added the package to a continuous integration service.

## 2.0.0 (2016-08-15)

New features:

- Added raw unescaped URI to the `link` and `image` renderer arguments.
  (This breaks backwards compatibility, hence the major version number bump.)
- Added renderers for plain TeX and ConteXt special characters.

Fixes:

- Make autolinks work by preventing `Str` from consuming `<`.
- Non-found footnote ref no longer outputs unescaped text.
