  • Allow unlimited balanced pairs of parentheses in link URLs
    (@kivikakk, commonmark/cmark#166). The rationale is that there are many URLs
    containing unescaped nested parentheses. Note that
    implementations are allowed to impose limits on parentheses
    nesting for performance reasons, but at least three levels
    of nesting should be supported.

  • Change Rule 14 for Emphasis. Previously the nesting
    Strong (Emph (...)) was preferred over Emph (Strong (...)).
    This change makes Emph (Strong (...)) preferred.
    Note that the commonmark reference implementations
    were not entirely consistent about this rule, giving
    different results for

    ***hi***

    and

    ***hi****

    This change simplifies parsing. It goes against the majority
    of implementations, but only on something utterly trivial.

  • Clarify definition of delimiter runs (Aidan Woods, #485).

  • Clarify precedence of thematic breaks over list items
    in the list spec, not just the thematic break spec (Aidan Woods).

  • Clarify definition of link labels and normalization
    procedure (Matthias Geier, #479).

  • Clarify that the end of an HTML block is determined by its
    start, and is not changed by HTML tags encountered inside
    the block. Give an example of a case where a block ends
    before an interior element has been closed (Yuki Izumi, #459).
    In the future we might consider changing the spec to handle
    this case more intuitively; this change just documents more
    explicitly what the spec requires.

  • Acknowledge Aaron Swartz's role in developing Markdown.

  • Remove misleading backslash in example for disabling image markup
    (Matthias Geier).

  • Fix Unicode terminology (general category, not class)
    (Philipp Matthias Schaefer).

  • Add another illustrative case for code spans (#463).

  • Remove possibly misleading 'either's (#467).

  • Fix typo (Aidan Woods).

  • Clarify that some blocks can contain code spans (Matthias Geier).

  • Fix typo and clarified tab expansion rule (Scott Abbey).

  • Add a missing "iff" (Matthias Geier).

  • Add release checklist.

  • Added npm package for spec (Vitaly Puzrin).

  • Remove SPEC variable from Makefile.
