+ * Allow unlimited balanced pairs of parentheses in link URLs
+ (@kivikakk, jgm/cmark#166). The rationale is that there are many URLs
+ containing unescaped nested parentheses.
+ * Change Rule 14 for Emphasis. Previously the nesting
+ Strong (Emph (...)) was preferred over Emph (Strong (...)).
+ This change makes Emph (Strong (...)) preferred.
+ Note that the commonmark reference implementations
+ were not entirely consistent about this rule, giving
+ different results for
+
+ ***hi***
+
+ and
+
+ ***hi****
+
+ This change simplifies parsing. It goes against the majority
+ of implementations, but only on something utterly trivial.
+ * Acknowledge Aaron Swartz's role in developing Markdown.
+ * Remove misleading backslash in example for disabling image markup
+ (Matthias Geier).
+ * Fix Unicode terminology (general category, not class)
+ (Philipp Matthias Schaefer).
+ * Add another illustrative case for code spans (#463).
+ * Remove possibly misleading 'either's (#467).
+ * Fix typo (Aidan Woods).
+ * Clarify that some blocks can contain code spans (Matthias Geier).
+ * Fix typo and clarified tab expansion rule (Scott Abbey).
+ * Add a missing "iff" (Matthias Geier).
+ * Add release checklist.
+ * Added npm package for spec (Vitaly Puzrin).
+ * Remove SPEC variable from Makefile.

* Update statement on blank lines and lists (Jesse Rosenthal).
