- Version 0.4 released (?? July 2007).
For users:
+ New output formats: ConTeXt and groff man.
+ Support for definition lists and tables.
+ Support for superscript, subscript, and strikeout.
+ Support for automatically generated tables of contents.
+ Automatically generated unique identifiers in HTML headers.
+ Markdown links now printed as inline links by default,
unless `--reference-links` option is specified.
+ Many bugs fixed.
For programmers:
+ Added a Text.Pandoc module that exports the main functions
and data structures. Library documentation includes a sample
program using the library.
Under the hood:
+ Refactored to avoid reliance on GHC's `Text.Regex`, which
is slow and does not support unicode.
+ Removed Key and Note block elements and simplified parsers.
+ Improved handling of character entities.
+ HTML output is now generated using `Text.XHtml`.
