• \markdownInfo and \markdownWarning start a new line in the plain TeX
  implementation.
• Lua errors are now caught even with shell escape.

• Fixed the number of arguments in the \markdownError dummy definition.

New features:

• Added the iA Writer content blocks syntax extension.

Documentation:

• Fixed errors in the Lua interface documentation.
• Fixed a typo in the tests/templates directory documentation.

2.3.0

Fixes:

• ConTeXt module no longer mishandles active characters from \enableregime.
• Shell access is no longer necessary with ConTeXt MarkIV.
• The default renderers now render strong emphasis using a bold font face
  rather than a bold-italic font face.
• Lazy blockquotes are now parsed properly.

New features:

• Added optional HTML support; when the support is enabled, the Markdown reader
  will recognize HTML elements, entities, instructions, and comments in the
  input.
• Added optional breakable blockquotes support; when the support is enabled,
  blockquotes can be split apart using blank lines.

Documentation:

• Documented the behavior of the -output-directory TeX option.

Development:

• Removed unnecessary PEG patterns.
• PEG patterns are now hash table entries rather than local variables; this was
  a necessary step due to the local variable number limit. This change was also
  backported to and merged by the upstream project.
• The unit test templates now use M4 instead of ad-hoc sed string replacement.
• The Lua text buffering routine was removed as it only introduced complexity
  to the package with no tangible benefits. All text buffering is now done in
  TeX. As a corrolary, the \markdownLuaRegisterIBCallback and
  \markdownLuaUnregisterIBCallback macros have been deprecated.
