+ + New [delimited code blocks](README.html#delimited-code-blocks),

+ + 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

- Now the anchors are put inside the header tags. Resolves Issue #23.

- + 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.
