• Much improved citation support.
• Metadata may now be included in YAML blocks in a markdown document. For example,

---
title:
- type: main
  text: My Book
- type: subtitle
  text: An investigation of metadata
creator:
- role: author
  text: John Smith
- role: editor
  text: Sarah Jones
identifier:
- scheme: DOI
  text: doi:10.234234.234/33
publisher:  My Press
rights:  (c) 2007 John Smith, CC BY-NC
cover-image: img/mypic.jpg
...

Metadata may still be provided using --epub-metadata; it will be merged with the metadata in YAML blocks.

• EPUB writer:
• meta tags are now used instead of opf attributes for EPUB3.
• Insert "svg" property as needed in opf (EPUB 3).
• Simplify imageTypeOf using getMimeType.
• Add properties attribute to cover-image item for EPUB 3.
• Don't include node for cover.xhtml if no cover!
• Ensure that same identifier is used throughout (#1044). If an identifier is given in metadata, we use that; otherwise we generate a random uuid.
• Add cover reference to guide element (EPUB 2) (Shaun Attfield). Fixes an issue with Calibre putting the cover at the end of the book if the spine has linear="no". Apparently this is best practice for other converters as well: http://www.idpf.org/epub/20/spec/OPF_2.0.1_draft.htm#Section2.6.
• Allow stylesheet in metadata. The value is a path to the stylesheet.
• Allow partial dates: YYYY, YYYY-MM.
• Markdown writer: Fix rendering of tight sublists (#1050). Previously a spurious blank line was included after a tight sublist.
• ODT writer: Add draw:name attribute to draw:frame elements (#1069). This is reported to be necessary to avoid an error from recent versions of Libre Office when files contain more than one image Thanks to wmanley for reporting and diagnosing the problem.
• ConTeXt writer: Don't hardcode figure/table placement and numbering. Instead, let this be set in the template, using \setupfloat. Thanks to on4aa and Aditya Mahajan for the suggestion (#1067).
• Implemented CSL flipflopping spans in DOCX, LaTeX, and HTML writers.
• Fixed bug with markdown intraword emphasis. Closes #1066.
• Docbook writer: Hierarchicalize block content in metadata. Previously headers just disappeared from block-level metadata when it was used in templates. Now we apply the 'hierarchicalize' transformation. Note that a block headed by a level-2 header will turn into a <sect1> element.
• OpenDocument writer: Skip raw HTML (#1035). Previously it was erroneously included as verbatim text.
• HTML/EPUB writer, footnotes: Put <sup> tag inside <a> tags. This allows better control of formatting, since the <a> tags have a distinguishing class (#1049).
• Docx writer:
• Use mime type info returned by fetchItem.
• Fixed core metadata (#1046). Don't create empty date nodes if no date given. Don't create multiple dc:creator nodes; instead separate by semicolons.
• Fix URL for core-properties in _rels/.rels (#1046).
• Plain writer: don't print <span> tags.
• LaTeX writer:
• Fix definition lists with internal links in terms (#1032). This fix puts braces around a term that contains an internal link, to avoid problems with square brackets.
• Properly escape pdftitle, pdfauthor (#1059).
• Use booktabs package for tables (thanks to Jose Luis Duran).
• Updated beamer template. Now references should work properly (in a slide) when --biblatex or --natbib is used.
• LaTeX reader:
• Parse contents of curly quotes or matched " as quotes.
• Support \textnormal as span with class nodecor. This is needed for pandoc-citeproc.
• Improved citation parsing. This fixes a run-time error that occured with \citet{} (empty list of keys). It also ensures that empty keys don't get produced.
• MediaWiki reader: Add automatic header identifiers.
• HTML reader:
• Use pandoc Div and Span for raw <div>, <span> when --parse-raw.
• Recognize svg tags as block level content (thanks to MinRK).
• Parse LaTeX math if appropriate options are set.
• Markdown reader:
• Yaml block must start immediately after ---. If there's a blank line after ---, we interpreted it as a horizontal rule.
• Correctly handle empty bullet list items.
• Stop parsing "list lines" when we hit a block tag. This fixes exponential slowdown in certain input, e.g. a series of lists followed by </div>.
• Slides: Preserve <div class="references"> in references slide.
• Text.Pandoc.Writer.Shared:
• Fixed bug in tagWithAttrs. A space was omitted before key-value attributes, leading to invalid HTML.
• normalizeDate: Allow dates with year only (thanks to Shaun Attfield).
• Fixed bug in openURL with data: URIs. Previously the base-64 encoded bytestring was returned. We now decode it so it's a proper image!
• DocBook reader: Handle numerical attributes starting with decimal. Also use safeRead instead of read.
• Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
• Generalized type of registerHeader, using new type classes HasReadeOptions, HasIdentifierList, HasHeaderMap. These allow certain common functions to be reused even in parsers that use custom state (instead of ParserState), such as the MediaWiki reader.
• Moved inlineMath, displayMath from Markdown reader to Parsing. Generalize their types and export them from Parsing. (API change.)
• Text.Pandoc.Readers.TexMath: Export readTeXMath', which attends to display/inline. Deprecate readTeXMath, and use readTeXMath' in all the writers. Require texmath >= 0.6.5.2.
• Text.Pandoc.MIME:
• Add entry for jfif.
• In looking up extensions, drop the encoding info. E.g. for 'image/jpg;base64' we should lookup 'image/jpg'.
• Templates: Changed how array variables are resolved. Previously if foo is an array (which might be because multiple values were set on the command line), $foo$ would resolve to the concatenation of the elements of foo. This is rarely useful behavior. It has been changed so that the first value is rendered. Of course, you can still iterate over the values using $for(foo)$. This has the result that you can override earlier settings using -V by putting new values later on the command line, which is useful for many purposes.
• Text.Pandoc: Don't default to pandocExtensions for all writers.
• Allow "epub2" as synonym for "epub", "html4" for "html".
• Don't look for slidy files in data files with --self-contained.
• Allow https: command line arguments to be downloaded.
• Fixed make_osx_package.sh so data files embedded in pandoc-citeproc.
