asciidoctor/asciidoctor-maven-plugin asciidoctor-maven-plugin-1.5.8

v1.5.8 "Farewell"

on GitHub

This release aligns the maven plugin version to the version of AsciidoctorJ v1.5.8.1.

This is a "farewell" version before starting work on 2.0.0 version which will introduce non-backward compatible changes.
Changes are meant to align with improvements done in Asciidoctor and remove some "quirks" added in the maven plugin over time.
Most notably are:

• Removal of imagesDir and sourceHighlighter options in favour of defining it in the <attributes> section.
• Replacement of templateDir (now deprecated in Asciidoctor) by templateDirs (List) (#265)
• Removing support for Java 7

Special thanks to all contributors during all the 1.5.x releases!
