# Revision history for pandoc
+## pandoc 2.8.1 (2019-12-05)
+
+ * Add `ascii_identifiers` as a supported extension for `markdown`.
+ This fixes a regression in 2.8.
+
+ * Fix regression with behavior of `--variable` (#5962).
+ Previously `-Vfoo=1 -Vfoo=2` would produce a list value for foo;
+ with 2.8 it produced just `2`. This commit restores the earlier
+ behavior.
+
+ * Roll back part of of `--shift-heading-level-by` change (#5957).
+ With positive heading shifts, starting in 2.8 this option
+ caused metadata titles to be removed and changed to regular
+ headings. This behavior is incompatible with the old
+ behavior of `--base-header-level` and breaks old workflows,
+ so we have rolled back the change. Note that there is now an
+ asymmetry in positive and negative heading level shifts:
+ With positive shifts, the metadata title stays the same and
+ does not get changed to a heading in the body, while with
+ negative shifts, a heading can be converted into the
+ metadata title.
+
+ * Text.Pandoc.Shared: Fix `makeSections` so it doesn't turn
+ column Divs into sections.
+
+ * HTML writer: add task-list class to ul if all elements are
+ task list items. This will allow styling unordered task
+ lists in a way that omits the bullet.
+
+ * HTML-based templates: Add CSS to suppress bullet on unordered task lists.
+
+ * ConTeXt template: Fix `\startcslreferences` and use ConTeXt syntax
+ conventions (#5945, Denis Maier). The old version had a too large
+ a skip at the beginning of the reference list.
+
+ * LaTeX template: keep the `\author{}` command even if author is not
+ specified (#5961, Yihui Xie). Avoids a LaTeX warning.
+
+ * Generate Emoji module with TH.
+
+ + Add Text.Pandoc.Emoji.TH.
+ + Replace long literal list in Text.Pandoc.Emoji with one-liner
+ generating it from `emoji.json` using TH.
+ + Add Makefile target to download `emoji.json`.
+ + Remove `tools/emoji.hs`.
+
+ * Increase GC allocation space for compilation in cabal.project.
+
+ * Clean up manual on PDF generation backend options (#5940).
+
+ * Update release checklist to include code signing step and update
+ Windows release-candidate builds (#5950).
+
+
## pandoc 2.8.0.1 (2019-11-26)
* List `pdf` in `--list-output-formats`.
