[ANN] Text::Markdown 1.0.17

[Tomas Doran]

I pushed Text::Markdown & Text::MultiMarkdown version 1.0.17 to CPAN  
late last night, and it's now indexed and you can see it on  
search.cpan.org.

You can get it from:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/B/BO/BOBTFISH/Text-Markdown-1.0.17.tar.gz

And if you'd like to browse the HTML documentation:
http://search.cpan.org/~bobtfish/Text-Markdown-1.0.17/lib/Text/ 
Markdown.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~bobtfish/Text-Markdown-1.0.17/lib/Text/ 
MultiMarkdown.pm

Salient features in this release:

   - Refactored the internals so that Text::Markdown is a standalone  
implementation which Text::MultiMarkdown extends without all the  
hideous copy-pasting of code (or the 'original brand' Markdown being  
a thin wrapper on MultiMarkdown with features disabled). Also removes  
quite a lot of copy & paste code from within Markdown itself, by  
extracting a number of things into their own methods so that they can  
be appropriately overridden / reused.

   - Bundled Markdown.pl and MultiMarkdown.pl scripts in the  
distribution. These are not installed by default (or if the module is  
installed non-interactively), but are present if you say 'Yes' to  
them during install. These should be compatible with the original  
Markdown.pl

   - Runs faster than the pervious version as some regular  
expressions have been optimised.

For those who are interested, a more detailed changelog is bundled  
with the release.

Cheers
Tom
