I am pleased to announce that after much hard work, a Release Candidate for Python Markdown version 2.0 is now available for [download][]. Please, download it, install it, test it, beat it... and report any [bugs][]. Assuming no major bugs, we will release 2.0 final approximately one month from today. Until then, the project [site][] will continue to document version 1.7. Updated documentation is available in the `doc/` directory in the source files. Hopefully, all the included extensions will be documented before the final release.

Extension authors should see the included documentation in `docs/writing_extensions.txt`. All parts of the syntax are now completely overridable by extensions. * Numerous extensions added to the standard distribution (off by default), including an "extra" extension which matches PHP Markdown Extra. See the `markdown/extensions/` directory for the full list. * The code has been refactored into a full Python library with a separate command line script. * Optional output of XHTML1 (default) or HTML4 with the option for extensions to add more. * Uses ElementTree to build (X)HTML document rather than home-grown NanoDom. * Most of the differences in Python-Markdown's output compared to perl and/or php have been eliminated. * And much more... See the changelog and [Git log][] for more details.
