Asciidoctor v2.0.12 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-11-10 // over 3 years ago

  • Summary

    🚀 This is a minor patch release that fixes some regressions that were introduced during the long release cycle of 2.0.11. We strongly recommend upgrading to this version instead of using 2.0.11.

    ⏪ Notable changes include restoring the type and target on unresolved footnotes (so they display properly), fixing a crash when an extension set a numeric width or height on an SVG image when using opts=inline, resetting the word wrap behavior to normal on tables to avoid aggressive word breaks, reverting the use of a Ruby 2.3 construct that prevented Asciidoctor from working on CentOS, including the role on an inline image in the DocBook output, and passing through the explicit width and height values on an SVG image as is when using opts=inline.

    🚀 Please note that it will not be possible to use Asciidoctor on Ruby < 2.3 after the 2.0.x release line. Those versions are already unsupported. However, since we had not yet made a change that prevented them from working, we'll wait until 2.1.x to do so.

    🚀 During this release, all the CI jobs were migrated from Travis CI to GitHub Actions. We also added a CI job to run the test suite on macOS.

    As usual, consult the CHANGELOG for all the details.

    Distributions

    Asciidoctor is also packaged for Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine Linux, OpenSUSE, and Homebrew. You can use the system's package manager to install the package named asciidoctor.

    Credits

    A very special thanks to all the awesome supporters of the Asciidoctor OpenCollective campaign who provided critical funding for the development of this release as well as ongoing development of the project. We'd also like to thank the maintainers of the Rouge project, who helped us work through the compatibility issue with Rouge and applied a fix to restore it ahead of our own release.


Previous changes from v2.0.11

  • Summary

    🚀 This is a big patch release that fixes a slew of issues that have been discovered from heavy usage. It's a larger release than we had planned because we're in the process of rewriting the docs and have been holding minor releases until the docs were merged. Unfortunately, that has taken longer than expected. But we're nearly there. In the meantime, we're putting out this patch release to publish the fixes that have accumulated in the meantime.

    💅 Notable changes include fixing two infinite loop scenarios, applying text formatting to cells in the implicit table head row when the column has the "a" or "l" style, restoring compatibility with Rouge >= 3.4 (by defining entry point API methods as class methods instead of module functions), fix bottom margin collapsing on an AsciiDoc table cell, removing excess hard line breaks in multi-line AsciiMath blocks, preserving repeating blackslashes in manpage output, move style tags for syntax highlighters into head of HTML output, for wrapping to avoid overflow in HTML output, fix cell borders for colspan or rowspan cells when frame and grid attribute values are congruent, and allow the encoding of the include file to be specified using the encoding attribute.

    💎 Oh, and the API docs on rubydoc.info are working once again! https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/asciidoctor/

    As usual, consult the CHANGELOG for all the gory details. 🎃
