• New output format: docbook5 (Ivo Clarysse).
• Text.Pandoc.Options: Add writerDocBook5 to WriterOptions (API change).
• Org writer:
• Add :PROPERTIES: drawer support (Albert Krewinkel, #1962). This allows header attributes to be added to org documents in the form of :PROPERTIES: drawers. All available attributes are stored as key/value pairs. This reflects the way the org reader handles :PROPERTIES: blocks.
• Add drawer capability (Carlos Sosa). For the implementation of the Drawer element in the Org Writer, we make use of a generic Block container with attributes. The presence of a drawer class defines that the Div constructor is a drawer. The first class defines the drawer name to use. The key-value list in the attributes defines the keys to add inside the Drawer. Lastly, the list of Block elements contains miscellaneous blocks elements to add inside of the Drawer.
• Use CUSTOM_ID in properties (Albert Krewinkel). The ID property is reserved for internal use by Org-mode and should not be used. The CUSTOM_ID property is to be used instead, it is converted to the ID property for certain export format.
• LaTeX writer:
• Ignore --incremental unless output format is beamer (#2843).
• Fix polyglossia to babel env mapping (Mauro Bieg, #2728). Allow for optional argument in square brackets.
• Recognize la-x-classic as Classical Latin (Andrew Dunning). This allows one to access the hyphenation patterns in CTAN's hyph-utf8.
• Add missing languages from hyph-utf8 (Andrew Dunning).
• Improve use of \strut with \minipage inside tables (Jose Luis Duran). This improves spacing in multiline tables.
• Use {} around options containing special chars (#2892).
• Avoid lazy foldl.
• Don't escape underscore in labels (#2921). Previously they were escaped as ux5f.
• brazilian -> brazil for polyglossia (#2953).
• HTML writer: Ensure mathjax link is added when math appears in footnote (#2881). Previously if a document only had math in a footnote, the MathJax link would not be added.
• EPUB writer: set navpage variable on nav page. This allows templates to treat it differently.
• DocBook writer:
• Use docbook5 if writerDocbook5 is set (Ivo Clarysse).
• Properly handle ulink/link (Ivo Clarysse).
• EPUB reader:
• Unescape URIs in spine (#2924).
• EPUB reader: normalise link id (Mauro Bieg).
• Docx Reader:
• Parse moveTo and moveFrom (Jesse Rosenthal). moveTo and moveFrom are track-changes tags that are used when a block of text is moved in the document. We now recognize these tags and treat them the same as insert and delete, respectively. So, --track-changes=accept will show the moved version, while --track-changes=reject will show the original version.
• Tests for track-changes moving (Jesse Rosenthal).
• ODT, EPUB, Docx readers: throw PandocError on unzip failure (Jesse Rosenthal) Previously, readDocx, readEPUB, and readOdt would error out if zip-archive failed. We change the archive extraction step from toArchive to toArchiveOrFail, which returns an Either value.
• Markdown, HTML readers: be more forgiving about unescaped & in HTML (#2410). We are now more forgiving about parsing invalid HTML with unescaped & as raw HTML. (Previously any unescaped & would cause pandoc not to recognize the string as raw HTML.)
• Markdown reader:
• Fix pandoc title blocks with lines ending in 2 spaces (#2799).
• Added -s to markdown-reader-more test.
• HTML reader: fixed bug in pClose. This caused exponential parsing behavior in documnets with unclosed tags in dl, dd, dt.
• MediaWiki reader: Allow spaces before ! in MediaWiki table header (roblabla).
• RST reader: Support :class: option for code block in RST reader (Sidharth Kapur).
• Org reader (all Albert Krewinkel, except where noted otherwise):
• Stop padding short table rows. Emacs Org-mode doesn't add any padding to table rows. The first row (header or first body row) is used to determine the column count, no other magic is performed.
• Refactor rows-to-table conversion. This refactors the codes conversing a list table lines to an org table ADT. The old code was simplified and is now slightly less ugly.
• Fix handling of empty table cells, rows (Albert Krewinkel, #2616). This fixes Org mode parsing of some corner cases regarding empty cells and rows. Empty cells weren't parsed correctly, e.g. ||| should be two empty cells, but would be parsed as a single cell containing a pipe character. Empty rows where parsed as alignment rows and dropped from the output.
• Fix spacing after LaTeX-style symbols. The org-reader was droping space after unescaped LaTeX-style symbol commands: \ForAll \Auml resulted in ∀Ä but should give ∀ Ä instead. This seems to be because the LaTeX-reader treats the command-terminating space as part of the command. Dropping the trailing space from the symbol-command fixes this issue.
• Print empty table rows. Empty table rows should not be dropped from the output, so row-height is always set to be at least 1.
• Move parser state into separate module. The org reader code has become large and confusing. Extracting smaller parts into submodules should help to clean things up.
• Add support for sub/superscript export options. Org-mode allows to specify export settings via #+OPTIONS lines. Disabling simple sub- and superscripts is one of these export options, this options is now supported.
• Support special strings export option Parsing of special strings (like ... as ellipsis or -- as en dash) can be toggled using the - option.
• Support emphasized text export option. Parsing of emphasized text can be toggled using the * option. This influences parsing of text marked as emphasized, strong, strikeout, and underline. Parsing of inline math, code, and verbatim text is not affected by this option.
• Support smart quotes export option. Reading of smart quotes can be toggled using the ' option.
• Parse but ignore export options. All known export options are parsed but ignored.
• Refactor block attribute handling. A parser state attribute was used to keep track of block attributes defined in meta-lines. Global state is undesirable, so block attributes are no longer saved as part of the parser state. Old functions and the respective part of the parser state are removed.
• Use custom anyLine. Additional state changes need to be made after a newline is parsed, otherwise markup may not be recognized correctly. This fixes a bug where markup after certain block-types would not be recognized.
• Add support for ATTR_HTML attributes (#1906). Arbitrary key-value pairs can be added to some block types using a #+ATTR_HTML line before the block. Emacs Org-mode only includes these when exporting to HTML, but since we cannot make this distinction here, the attributes are always added. The functionality is now supported for figures.
• Add :PROPERTIES: drawer support (#1877). Headers can have optional :PROPERTIES: drawers associated with them. These drawers contain key/value pairs like the header's id. The reader adds all listed pairs to the header's attributes; id and class attributes are handled specially to match the way Attr are defined. This also changes behavior of how drawers of unknown type are handled. Instead of including all unknown drawers, those are not read/exported, thereby matching current Emacs behavior.
• Use CUSTOM_ID in properties. See above on Org writer changes.
• Respect drawer export setting. The d export option can be used to control which drawers are exported and which are discarded. Basic support for this option is added here.
• Ignore leading space in org code blocks (Emanuel Evans, #2862). Also fix up tab handling for leading whitespace in code blocks.
• Support new syntax for export blocks. Org-mode version 9 uses a new syntax for export blocks. Instead of #+BEGIN_<FORMAT>, where <FORMAT> is the format of the block's content, the new format uses #+BEGIN_export <FORMAT> instead. Both types are supported.
• Refactor BEGIN...END block parsing.
• Fix handling of whitespace in blocks, allowing content to be indented less then the block header.
• Support org-ref style citations. The org-ref package is an org-mode extension commonly used to manage citations in org documents. Basic support for the cite:citeKey and [[cite:citeKey][prefix text::suffix text]] syntax is added.
• Split code into separate modules, making for cleaner code and better decoupling.
• Added docbook5 template.
• --mathjax improvements:
• Use new CommonHTML output for MathJax (updated default MathJax URL, #2858).
• Change default mathjax setup to use TeX-AMS_CHTML configuration. This is designed for cases where the input is always TeX and maximal conformity with TeX is desired. It seems to be smaller and load faster than what we used before. See #2858.
• Load the full MathJax config to maximize loading speed (KolenCheung).
• Bumped upper version bounds to allow use of latest packages and compilation with ghc 8.
• Require texmath 0.8.6.2. Closes several texmath-related bugs (#2775, #2310, #2310, #2824). This fixes behavior of roots, e.g. \sqrt[3]{x}, and issues with sub/superscript positioning and matrix column alignment in docx.
• README:
• Clarified documentation of implicit_header_references (#2904).
• Improved documentation of --columns option.
• Added appveyor setup, with artefacts (Jan Schulz).
• stack.yaml versions: Use proper flags used for texmath, pandoc-citeproc.
• LaTeX template: support for custom font families (vladipus). Needed for correct polyglossia operation with Cyrillic fonts and perhaps can find some other usages. Example usage in YAML metadata:

  fontfamilies:
  - name: \cyrillicfont
    font: Liberation Serif
  - name: \cyrillicfonttt
    options: Scale=MatchLowercase
    font: Liberation

• Create unsigned msi as build artifact in appveyor build.
• On travis, test with ghc 8.0.1; drop testing for ghc 7.4.1.
