asciidoctor/asciidoctor v0.1.4 on GitHub

Overview

This is a stable release of Asciidoctor. The focus of this release is on the first draft of the extensions API, properly tracking nested includes and resolving them relative to the current include, adding a backend for DocBook 5, squeezing out the last few known AsciiDoc compliance issues, additional compatibility with Markdown and continuing to evolve the AsciiDoc syntax.

This release is 15% faster than 0.1.3.
