Version 1.0.0

This is the first stable release of version 1.0 which is incompatible to the 0.9.x branch regarding the internal API which is used when extending the Markdown parser. The external API has no breaking changes. The rendered Markdown however has changed in some edge cases and some rendering issues have been fixed.

The parser got a bit slower compared to earlier versions but is able to parse Markdown more accurately and uses an abstract syntax tree as the internal representation of the parsed text which allows extensions to work with the parsed Markdown in many ways including rendering as other formats than HTML.

For more details about the changes see the release message of 1.0.0-rc.

You can try it out on the website: http://markdown.cebe.cc/try

The parser is now also regsitered on the Babelmark 2 page by John MacFarlane which you can use to compare Markdown output of different parsers.
