+- Version 1.5 release (March 20, 2010).
+
+ + New --mathml option, for display of TeX math as MathML.
+ + New --data-dir option, allowing users to specify a data
+ directory other than `~/.pandoc`. Files placed in this directory
+ will be used instead of system defaults.
+ + New --base-header-level option. For example, --base-header-level=2
+ changes level 1 headers to level 2, level 2 to level 3, etc.
+ + New 'plain' output format: plain text without pictures, hyperlinks,
+ inline formatting, or anything else that looks even vaguely
+ markupish.
+ + Titles and authors in title blocks can now span multiple lines,
+ as long as the continuation lines begin with a space character.
+ + When given an absolute URI as a parameter, pandoc will fetch
+ the content via HTTP.
+ + The HTML reader has been made much more forgiving. It no
+ longer requires well-formed xhtml as input.
+ + `html2markdown` has been removed; it is no longer necessary, given
+ the last two changes. `pandoc` can be used by itself to convert
+ web pages to markdown or other formats.
+ + `hsmarkdown` has also been removed. Use `pandoc --strict` instead.
+ Or symlink pandoc's executable to `hsmarkdown`; `pandoc` will then
+ behave like `hsmarkdown` used to.
+ + An image in a paragraph by itself is now rendered as a figure
+ in most writers, with the alt text as the caption.
+ + Incomplete support for reST tables (simple and grid). Thanks to
+ Eric Kow. Colspans and rowspans not yet supported.
+ + In mediawiki, links with relative URLs are now formatted as wikilinks.
+ Also, headers have been promoted: '= head =' is now level 1 instead of
+ level 2.
+ + The markdown reader now handles "inverse bird tracks" when parsing
+ literate haskell. These are used for haskell example code that
+ is not part of the literate program.
+ + The -B and -A options now imply -s and no longer work in fragment mode.
+ + Headerless tables are now printed properly in all writers.
+ In addition, tbody, thead, and cols are used in HTML and Docbook
+ tables.
+ + Improved build system; removed obsolete Makefile.
+ + In LaTeX writer, \chapter is now used instead of \section
+ when the documentclass is book, report, or memoir.
+ + Many small bug fixes. See [changelog] for details.
+
- Version 1.4 release (January 2, 2010).
+ New template system replaces old headers, giving users much
