This is an extension and it has its own release lifecycle. It used to be bundled in XWiki core which is why it has a “high” version number.

The instructions to install it are on the extension page: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Markdown+Syntaxes/#HPrerequisites26InstallationInstructions Thanks -Vincent
