## pandoc 2.12 (UNRELEASED -- PROVISIONAL)
+ * When downloading content from URL arguments, be sensitive to
+ the character encoding (#5600). We can properly handle UTF-8 and latin1
+ (ISO-8859-1); for others we raise an error. Fall back to latin1 if
+ no charset is given in the mime type and UTF-8 decoding fails.
+
* Add new unexported module Text.Pandoc.XML.Light, as well
as Text.Pandoc.XML.Light.Types, Text.Pantoc.XML.Light.Proc,
Text.Pandoc.XML.Light.Output. (Closes #6001, #6565, #7091).

- + Clean up BibTeX parsing (#7049). Previously there was a messy code
- path that gave strange results in some cases, not passing through raw
- tex but trying to extract a string content. This was an artefact of
- trying to handle some special bibtex-specific commands in the BibTeX
- reader. Now we just handle these in the LaTeX reader and simplify
- parsing in the BibTeX reader. This does mean that more raw tex will
- be passed through (and currently this is not sensitive to the
- `raw_tex` extension; this should be fixed).
-
- * Text.Pandoc.Citeproc.MetaValue
-
- + Correctly parse "raw" date value in markdown references metadata.
- (See jgm/citeproc#53.)
-
- * Text.Pandoc.Class
-
- + Add `getTimestamp` [API change]. This attempts to read the
- `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment variable and parse a UTC time
- from it (treating it as a unix date stamp, see
- https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/). If the
- variable is not set or can't be parsed as a unix date stamp, then the
- function returns the current date.
-
- * Text.Pandoc.Error
-
- + Remove unused variables (Albert Krewinkel)
- + Export `renderError` [API change].
- + Refactor `handleError` to use `renderError`. This allows us render
- error messages without exiting.
-
- * Text.Pandoc.Extensions
-
- + `Ext_task_lists` is now supported by org (and turned
- on by default) (Albert Krewinkel, #6336).
- + Remove `Ext_fenced_code_attributes` from allowed commonmark attributes
- (#7097). This attribute was listed as allowed, but it didn't actually
- do anything. Use `attributes` for code attributes and more.
-
- * Lua subsystem:
-
- + Always load built-in Lua scripts from default data-dir (Albert
- Krewinkel). The Lua modules `pandoc` and `pandoc.List` are now always
- loaded from the system's default data directory. Loading from a
- different directory by overriding the default path, e.g. via
- `--data-dir`, is no longer supported to avoid unexpected behavior
- and to address security concerns.
- + Add module "pandoc.path" (Albert Krewinkel, #6001, #6565).
- The module allows to work with file paths in a convenient and
- platform-independent manner.
-
- * Text.Pandoc.PDF
-
- + Disable `smart` extension when building PDF via LaTeX.
- This is to prevent accidental creation of ligatures like
- `` ?` `` and `` !` `` (especially in languages with quotations like
- German), and similar ligature issues. (See jgm/citeproc#54.)

- * Test suite: a more robust way of testing the executable.
- Many of our tests require running the pandoc executable. This is
- problematic for a few different reasons. First, cabal-install will
- sometimes run the test suite after building the library but before
- building the executable, which means the executable isn't in place for
- the tests. One can work around that by first building, then building and
- running the tests, but that's fragile. Second, we have to find the
- executable. So far, we've done that using a function `findPandoc` that
- attempts to locate it relative to the test executable (which can be
- located using findExecutablePath). But the logic here is delicate and
- work with every combination of options. To solve both problems, we add
- an `--emulate` option to the `test-pandoc` executable. When `--emulate`
- occurs as the first argument passed to `test-pandoc`, the program simply
- emulates the regular pandoc executable, using the rest of the arguments
- (after `--emulate`). Thus, `test-pandoc --emulate -f markdown -t latex`
- is just like `pandoc -f markdown -t latex`.
- Since all the work is done by library functions, implementing this
- emulation just takes a couple lines of code and should be entirely
- reliable. With this change, we can test the pandoc executable by running
- the test program itself (locatable using `findExecutablePath`) with the
- `--emulate` option. This removes the need for the fragile `findPandoc`
- step, and it means we can run our integration tests even when we're just
- building the library, not the executable. [Note: part of this change
- involved simplifying some complex handling to set environment variables
- for dynamic library paths. I have tested a build with
- `--enable-dynamic-executable`, and it works, but further testing may be
- needed.]
+ * Text.Pandoc.MIME
+
+ + Add exported function `getCharset` [API change].
+
+ * Text.Pandoc.UTF8: change IO functions to return Text, not String
+ [API change]. This affects `readFile`, `getContents`, `writeFileWith`,
+ `writeFile`, `putStrWith`, `putStr`, `putStrLnWith`, `putStrLn`.
+ `hPutStrWith`, `hPutStr`, `hPutStrLnWith`, `hPutStrLn`, `hGetContents`.
+ This avoids the need to uselessly create a linked list of characters
+ when emiting output.
+
+ * Text.Pandoc.App

+ + Add `parseOptionsFromArgs` [API change, new exported function].
