[pending release 1.12]
+ * New `--filter/-F` option to make it easier to run "filters"
+ (Pandoc AST transformations that operate on JSON serializations).
+ Filters are always passed the name of the output format, so their
+ behavior can be tailored to it. The repository
+ <https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-filters-python> contains
+ a python module for writing pandoc filters in python, with
+ a number of examples.
+
+ * Added `--print-default-data-file` option, which allows printing
+ of any of pandoc's data files. (For example,
+ `pandoc --print-default-data-file reference.odt` will print
+ `reference.odt`.)
+
* `--toc-level` no longer implies `--toc`.
Reason: EPUB users who don't want a visible TOC may still want
to set the TOC level for in the book navigation.

+ + The `--bibliography`, `--csl`, and `--citation-abbreviation`
+ options have been removed.
+ + Markdown and LaTeX citations as still parsed, but an external
+ filter, `pandoc-citeproc`, is now needed to process
+ them against a bibliography and CSL stylesheet. The bibliography
+ and stylesheet should be specified in the document's YAML metadata
+ (`bibliography` and `csl` fields), and the filter called with
+ `pandoc --filter pandoc-citeproc`.
+ + The `Text.Pandoc.Biblio` module has been removed, and the Markdown
+ and LaTeX readers no longer process citations. Users of the
+ pandoc library who want citation support will need to use
+ `Text.CSL.Pandoc` from `pandoc-citations`.
+ + All bibliography-related fields have been removed from
+ `ReaderOptions` and `WriterOptions`: `writerBiblioFiles`,
+ `readerReferences`, `readerCitationStyle`.
+ + Note that a Cite element is now created in parsing markdown whether
+ or not there is a matching reference (indeed, pandoc has no way of
+ knowing, since the `--bibliography` option has been removed).
+ By default citations will print as `???`.
+ + The `pandoc-citeproc` script will put the bibliography at the
+ end of the document, as before. However, it will be put inside a Div
+ element with class "references", allowing users some control
+ over the styling of references. A final header, if any, will
+ be included in the Div.
+ * The markdown writer will not print a bibliography if the
+ `citations` extension is enabled. (If the citations are formatted
+ as markdown citations, it is redundant to have a bibliography,
+ since one will be generated automatically.)
+
* All slide formats: Support incremental slide view for definition lists.

+ * Added `Text.Pandoc.Walk` (in `pandoc-types`), which exports
+ hand-written tree-walking functions that are orders of magnitude

+ * Added `Text.Pandoc.Process`, exporting `pipeProcess`.
