This release fixes regressions and integration problems that were introduced in the 1.5.6 release. Mostly notably, compatibility with Asciidoctor Diagram was restored, content in a delimited block after a skipped block is preserved, attributes are substituted in the target of inline image occurring in a section or block title, and an unnecessary warning when attempting to copy the stylesheet is suppressed. We're also happy to report that Travis CI now takes care of releasing the gem to RubyGems.org. Additional changes can be found in the changelog below.
If you're upgrading from an earlier version, you're advised to skip 1.5.6 and move directly to 1.5.6.1. Downstream projects, such as Asciidoctor.js and AsciidoctorJ, will based their 1.5.6 release on this version rather than 1.5.6.
Distributions
Asciidoctor is also packaged for Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Alpine Linux, and OpenSUSE. Please use the system's package manager to install the package named asciidoctor.
