Summary

Right on the tails of the previous release, this minor patch release comes out of thoroughly testing the Asciidoctor 1 to Asciidoctor 2 upgrade on several large documentation sites. That hope that the previous release was the last one in the 2.0.x series before work begins on 2.1.x now extends to this release.

The main issue this release fixes is to provide fallback xreftext for HTML output and the correct linkend value for DocBook output when an xref resolves to the current document and no link text is provided. This release also brings three minor fixes to how attrlists are parsed, though the impact of these changes is likely very small. While working on parsing, we discovered that trailing punctuation (., ?, and !) was getting included in the target URL of an autolink in certain cases. The trailing punctuation now stays outside of the link. In the manpage output, keyboard references are now formatted in monospace. Additionally, text formatting markup should now be interpreted more accurately.

Consult the CHANGELOG to find the full list of changes in this release.

A very special thanks to all the awesome supporters of the Asciidoctor OpenCollective campaign who provided critical funding for the development of this release as well as ongoing development of the project.
