[ANN] BlueCloth-1.0.0fc3

Hi,

I'd like to announce the release of the final candidate for the 1.0.0 version of the BlueCloth module. BlueCloth is a Ruby implementation of Markdown, a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

This version includes fixes for a longstanding bug which overflowed the Ruby regexp engine when given large HTML sections, lists, or code blocks, and brings the implementation of the syntax up to Markdown 1.0. Thanks especially to Ian Macdonald and Martin Chase for their help in tracking down the overflow bug.

If there's no immediate problems with the release, it will become 1.0.0 this weekend.

More information about the Markdown syntax can be found at:

while the BlueCloth module can be found at:

   http://bluecloth.rubyforge.org/

or you can download this release directly from:

Thanks,
