I'm pleased to announce the release of pandoc 0.45. The source
tarball and Windows binary package are now available at
http://code.google.com/p/pandoc/. The debian package should
be updated relatively soon; ports in Macports and FreeBSD may
take more time.

Some highlights:

* Many bug fixes and structural improvements. See
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/changelog.txt for full
details.

* Improved treatment of math. Math is now rendered using unicode by
default in HTML, RTF, and DocBook output. For more accurate
display of math in HTML, --gladtex, --mimetex, and --asciimathml
options are provided. For documentation, see
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#math. For
demonstrations, scroll to the bottom of
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/examples.html.

* Removed support for box-style block quotes in markdown.

* More idiomatic ConTeXt output, thanks in large part to
Idris Samawi Hamid.

* Text wrapping in ConTeXt and LaTeX output.

* Pandoc now correctly handles all standard line endings (CR, LF,
CRLF).

* New --no-wrap option that disables line wrapping and minimizes
whitespace in HTML output.

* Build process is now compatible with both GHC 6.8 and GHC 6.6. GHC
and GHC_PKG environment variables may be used to specify which
version of the compiler to use, when multiple versions are
installed. Note that compiling pandoc with GHC 6.8.1 gives a
considerable increase in performance over 6.6. The executables
are also smaller.
