# News
- Version 1.0 release (October 11, 2008).
+ New writers for MediaWiki, GNU Texinfo (thanks to Peter Wang),
OpenDocument XML (thanks to Andrea Rossato), and ODT (OpenOffice
document).
+ New [delimited code blocks](README.html#delimited-code-blocks),
with optional syntax highlighting.
+ Reorganized build system: pandoc can now be built using standard
Cabal tools. It can be compiled on Windows without Cygwin.
The tests can also be run without perl or unix tools.
+ LaTeXMathML replaces ASCIIMathML for rendering math in HTML.
+ Support for "displayed" math.
+ Common abbreviations are now handled more intelligently, with
a non-breaking space (and not a sentence-ending space) after
the period.
+ Code is -Wall clean.
+ Many bug fixes and small improvements. See [changelog] for
full details.
- Version 0.46 released (January 8, 2008).

which version of the compiler to use, when multiple versions are
installed.
- Version 0.44 released (September 3, 2007).
+ Fixed bug in HTML writer: when `--toc` was used, anchors were put around
headers, which is invalid XHTML (block content within inline element).
Now the anchors are put inside the header tags. Resolves Issue #23.
+ Changed build process to compile `Setup.hs` instead of using
`runhaskell`, which throws an error on platforms where GHC is
"not built for interactive use". Closes Debian #440668.
- Version 0.43 released (September 2, 2007).
+ HUGE increase in performance: markdown is parsed five times
faster than with 0.42 on large benchmark files.
+ Prettyprinting library used in LaTeX writer, so that LaTeX output
is wrapped and intelligently indented.
+ Fixed bugs in LaTeX ordered lists and LaTeX command and environment
parsers.
+ Blank lines are no longer required after code blocks.
+ Fixed inline code parsing so that it uses the method of Markdown.pl:
the delimiters are blocks of N `` ` `` characters not followed by another
`` ` `` character. For example:
```` ` h ``` i ` ```` -> `<code>h ``` i</code>`.
+ Markdown writer escapes paragraphs that begin like list items.
+ MacPorts Portfile now installs library as well as executable.
+ Added pandocwiki demonstration to the website.
