This sets us back + in our attempts to free ourselves from C dependencies (#4535). But I + don't see a good alternative until a faster pure Haskell parser is available. + Notes: + + + We've removed the FromYAML instances for all types that had them, since + this is a HsYAML-specific typeclass [API change]. (The yaml package just + uses From/ToJSON instead of having a dedicated From/ToYAML class.) + + Unlike HsYAML (in the configuration we were using), yaml parses 'Y', 'N', + 'Yes', 'No', 'On', 'Off' as boolean values. Users may need to quote these + when they are meant to be interpreted as strings. Similarly, 'null' is + parsed as a YAML null value (and will be treated as an empty string by + pandoc rather than the string 'null'). Quoting it will force it to be + interpreted as a string. + + Some tests had to be adjusted accordingly. + + Pandoc now behaves in a more useful way when the YAML metadata contains + escaping errors: instead of just failng silently and falling back to + some other interpretation of the section, it raises a YAML parsing error. + + * Markdown writer: Ensure that special values are quoted in YAML metadata. + These include "Y", "yes", "on", and "off", which are now (with yaml library) + considered boolean values, as well as "null". + + * Change JSON encodings of some types. + + + For LineEnding use lowercase constructors, e.g. `crlf`, `native`. + + For HTMLSlideVariant use lowercase constructors. + + For ReaderOptions use e.g. `default-image-extension` + instead of `readerDefaultImageExtension` for field names. + + For Extension, use e.g. `tex_math_dollars` instead of + `Ext_tex_math_dollars` as constructor. + + For Extensions, use an array of Extensions, instead of + an object wrapping the tag `Extensions` and an integer. + (The integer representation is not supposed to be part of the + public API.) + + For Opt, use field names like `tab-stop` instead of `optTabStop`. + + * Docx writer: + + + Add IDs to native_numbering test (Tristan Stenner). + + Move ": " out of the caption bookmark (Tristan Stenner). + This is needed so that native references to the figure are included as + "As seen in Figure X, it is..." instead of "As seen in [Figure: X, it is..." + + * Lua (Albert Krewinkel, except as noted): + + + Use hslua module abstraction where possible. + + Fix placement of tests for Block elements in pandoc module tests + + Increase strictness when getting attribute keys + + Re-add `t` and `tag` property to Attr values. + Removal of these properties from Attr values was a regression. + + Fix `pandoc.utils.stringify` regression. The `pandoc.utils.stringify` + function returned empty strings when called with a string argument. + + Fix a copy/paste bug in Lua marshalling code (John MacFarlane, #7639). + This caused links to be changed to figures when Lua filters changed + link properties. + + Generate constants in module pandoc programmatically. + + Marshal SimpleTable, ListAttributes, Citation, and Block values as + userdata objects. Properties of Block values are marshalled lazily, + which generally improves performance considerably. Script users may also + notice the following differences: + + - Block element properties can no longer be accessed by numerical + indexing of the `.c` field. The `.c` property now serves as an alias + for `.content`, so some filter that used this undocumented method + for property access may continue to work, while others will need to + be updated and use proper property names. + - The marshalled Block elements now have a `show` method, and a + `__tostring` metamethod. Both return the Haskell string + representation of the element. + - Block values now have the Lua type `userdata` instead of `table`. + + * Add a short guide to pandoc's sources (Albert Krewinkel). + + * Fix epub files in epub reader tests, so that they are valid + according to epubcheck (#7586). + + * Allow time 1.13. + + * Require latest skylighting (0.12.1). + + * Fix build on GHC 9.2 (Joseph C. Sible). + + * Fix trypandoc so it builds with aeson > 2. + + ## pandoc 2.15 (2021-10-23) * Add `--sandbox` option (#5045). diff --git a/pandoc.cabal b/pandoc.cabal index 63b2a5dad..6fa36f9e7 100644 --- a/pandoc.cabal +++ b/pandoc.cabal @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ cabal-version: 2.2 name: pandoc -version: 2.15 +version: 2.16 build-type: Simple license: GPL-2.0-or-later license-file: COPYING.md |
