0.14.0 - 2020-01-22

Added

• Add sanitizeUrls to HtmlRenderer.Builder to enable sanitizing URLs of <a> and <img> tags. Sanitizing logic can be customized via urlSanitizer. Thanks @VandorpeDavid

0.13.1 - 2019-11-25

Fixed

• Fix potential StackOverflowError for regular expressions used in the inline parser (e.g. when parsing long HTML), thanks @lehvolk

0.13.0 - 2019-07-15

Added

• LinkReferenceDefinition nodes are now part of the document (not rendered by default).
• InlineParserContext.getLinkReferenceDefinition was added to allow custom inline parsers to look up definitions for reference links.

Changed

• Performance improvements compared to previous version:
  • Parsing 7-10% faster
  • HTML rendering 105% faster - or in other words, twice as fast!
• Update to CommonMark spec 0.29 (#156):
  • Change how newlines/spaces are handled in inline code
  • Info strings for tilde code blocks can contain backticks and tildes
  • Allow spaces inside link destinations in pointy brackets
  • Disallow link destination beginning with < unless it is inside <..>
  • Disallow unescaped '(' in link title in parens
  • Disallow indenting list item marker by more than 3 spaces
  • No longer treat <meta> as a block tag
  • Link reference definitions can now be in setext headings too
• Tables extension: Changes to match GitHub implementation:
  • Escaping now only considers pipe characters when parsing tables: \| results in a literal | instead of a column, everything else is passed through to inline parsing.
  • Table body can now contain lazy continuation lines (without |). An empty line or another block is needed to interrupt the table.
  • For tables without a body, <tbody> is no longer rendered in HTML
  • See https://github.github.com/gfm/#tables-extension- for details
• Check non-null arguments early and provide a nicer message

Fixed

• Fix incorrectly preserving HTML entities when rendering attributes
• Fix pathological case with input [\\\\... (a lot of backslashes)
• Fix pathological case with input []([]([](...

0.12.1 - 2018-11-13

Changed

• Speed up parsing significantly: Compared to the previous version, the benchmarks show up to 55% faster parsing for both small and large documents! (#137, #140)
• Parse backslash followed by unescapable character the same way as the reference implementations.
• Build and test on Java 11 as well.
• autolink: Stop URLs at " and ` as well

Fixed

• Fix tab handling in ATX and Setext headings.

0.11.0 - 2018-01-17

Added

• The extension for tables now also renders to plain text (when using a TextContentRenderer), thanks @ahjaworski

Changed

• Add Automatic-Module-Name manifest entries so that library can be used nicely in Java 9 modules. The module names correspond to the root package name: org.commonmark, org.commonmark.ext.autolink, etc.
• Java 7 is now only supported on a best-effort basis (but it has been EOL for quite some time, so yeah)

0.10.0 - 2017-09-14

Added

• Support multiple DelimiterProcessor with the same delimiter char as long as they have different length, thanks @szeiger
• Add tests for thread-safety and a section to the readme (#83)

Changed

• Update to CommonMark spec 0.28 (#94):
  • Adapt to changed emphasis parsing rule
  • Allow nested parentheses in inline link destinations

Fixed

• Fixes for text content rendering, thanks @JinneeJ:
  • Support for mixed lists
  • Fixed that whitespaces between text elements are removed in "stripped" mode. For example **text** and text had rendered as textand text
  • Improved rendering for auto links
• Fix [\] being parsed as link label
• Fix [foo](<\>) resulting in \ in href
• Fix multiple of 3 rule for emphasis parsing (see commonmark/cmark#177)
• Fix text node merging when opening/closing delimiters are adjacent (#96)
• autolink: Fix linking of URLs without host, e.g. http://. (#99)

0.9.0 - 2017-03-03

Added

• Support restricting which block types are parsed, see enabledBlockTypes method on Parser.Builder (#43), thanks @marksliva, @pivotal-graham-bell and @lalunamel. This allows you to disable parsing of e.g. headings, they will just be parsed as paragraphs instead.
• Allow customizing the inline parser, see inlineParserFactory method on Parser.Builder (#68), thanks @vreynolds and @lalunamel. Note that this is experimental and currently requires using internal classes.

Changed

• Wrap escaped HTML blocks in a <p> tag (#78)
• Add missing ext-heading-anchor to dependencyManagement in parent pom, thanks @drobert

0.8.0 - 2016-12-09

Changed

• Update to CommonMark spec 0.27 (#73):
  • Treat h2..h6 as HTML blocks well
  • Allow shortcut reference link before open parenthesis (if parenthesis is not part of a valid inline link)
• AttributeProvider.setAttributes now has an additional tagName argument and is called for all HTML tags of a block. This allows users to add attributes for the pre tag of a code block in addition to code. Also added attribute provider support for additional HTML tags, namely em, strong, code and br. (#74)

Fixed

• ext-heading-anchor: Fix IllegalArgumentException on Android (#71)

0.7.1 - 2016-10-05

Added

• Allow to configure prefix/suffix for ID on HeadingAnchorExtension (#66), thanks @paulthom12345

0.7.0 - 2016-09-23

Added

• Plain text content renderer (#58), thanks to @JinneeJ!
  • Renders a plain text representation of a document instead of HTML, see TextContentRenderer in core.
  • Extensible in the same way as HTML rendering.
• Heading anchor extension (#26), thanks to @paulthom12345!
  • Adds "id" attribute to heading tags (e.g. <h1 id="heading">Heading</h1>), useful for linking to sections of a document.
  • ID generation logic can also be used by itself via the IdGenerator class.
  • Use class HeadingAnchorExtension in artifact commonmark-ext-heading-anchor
• Ins (underline) extension (#54), thanks to @pabranch!
  • Enables underlining of text by enclosing it in ++. It's rendered as an ins tag in HTML.
  • Use class InsExtension in artifact commonmark-ext-ins.

Changed

• HtmlRenderer and related classes moved from org.commonmark.html to org.commonmark.renderer.html
• HtmlRenderer.Builder no longer takes an AttributeProvider, but uses a AttributeProviderFactory to instantiate a new provider for each rendering. Code needs to be changed to create a factory and then return the existing provider from its create method, similar to node renderers.
• NodeRendererFactory was renamed to HtmlNodeRendererFactory, same for related classes (there's a corresponsing interface for text content rendering)

0.6.0 - 2016-07-25

Added

• Add coverage data to build. Currently at 97 %.

Changed

• Update to CommonMark spec 0.26 (#55)
  • empty list items can no longer interrupt a paragraph; this resolves an ambiguity with setext headers
  • ordered lists can interrupt a paragraph only when beginning with 1
  • the two-blank-lines-breaks-out-of-lists rule has been removed
  • the spec for emphasis and strong emphasis has been refined to give more intuitive results in some cases
  • tabs can be used after the # in an ATX header and between the markers in a thematic break
• Simplify and speed up brackets processing (links/images)
  • Improves the nested brackets pathological case (e.g. [[[[a]]]] with a lot of brackets)
  • Also contributed these changes upstream to commonmark.js
• Simplify merging of adjacent text nodes
• Extended DelimiterProcessor interface so that implementations get more information in getDelimiterUse and can reject delimiters by returning 0 from it. Also rename the methods:
  • getOpeningDelimiterChar -> getOpeningCharacter
  • getClosingDelimiterChar -> getClosingCharacter
  • getMinDelimiterCount -> getMinLength

Fixed

• Fix max length for link labels (999, not 1000)
• autolink: Stop URLs at more invalid characters, notably '<' and '>'. According to RFC 3987, angle brackets are not allowed in URLs, and other linkers don't seem to allow them either.

0.5.1 - 2016-05-25

Fixed

• Fix StringIndexOutOfBoundsException on line after tab (#52)

0.5.0 - 2016-04-22

Added

• Add information about delimiter character and length to delimiter nodes (#10), thanks to @pcj
• Make HTML rendering for nodes extensible (#35)
• Add support for asymmetric delimiters (#17): DelimiterProcessor#getDelimiterChar was split into getOpeningDelimiterChar and getClosingDelimiterChar

Changed

• Make AttributeProvider work for image and table nodes (#31)
• Update to CommonMark spec 0.25:
  • Changes how partially consumed tabs are handled.
• Add Android test project to build so that we won't break Android support (#38), thanks to @JinneeJ
• Replace CustomHtmlRenderer with NodeRenderer which also allows overriding rendering for built-in node types (#35)

Fixed

• Fix blank line after empty list item to terminate list
• Fix nested bullet list indented with mix of tab and spaces (#41), thanks to @derari

• autolink: Treat more special characters as trailing delimiters to not include ">, "/> and "); at the end of URLs
• autolink: Fix unexpected link end with unfinished delimiter pairs in URLs
• autolink: Fix Android incompatibility by not using java.util.Objects

0.4.1 - 2016-02-11

Fixed

• Fix problematic regex that doesn't work on some Java versions and Android
• Fix problems with Android (usage of java.util.Objects, StandardCharsets, ProGuard, see #30), thanks to @JinneeJ!

Changed

• autolink extension: Update to autolink 0.3.0. This stops recognizing "abc://foo" within "1abc://foo" as a link

0.4.0 - 2016-01-18

Changed

Update to CommonMark spec 0.24 (#28):

• No longer allow whitespace between link text and link label
• Don't allow whitespace in link destination even with <>
• Don't use whitelist for schemes in autolinks, recognize all 2-32 length schemes (see spec)
• Allow multi-line content in setext headings

API breaking changes (caused by changes in spec):

• Rename Header to Heading
• Rename HorizontalRule to ThematicBreak
• Rename HtmlTag to HtmlInline
• Replace MatchedBlockParser#getParagraphStartLine with #getParagraphContent that returns the current content if the the matched block is a paragraph
