[Python-markdown-discuss] Version 2.6 Released

[Waylan L. <way...@ic...>]

Python-Markdown 2.6 has just been released. Please, install, test and report bugs.

Extension authors will want to read the release notes carefully. There are a number of deprecated things that will break with the next release.  You may want to run Python with deprecation warnings turned on (they are off by default) to see if your code raises any. And while I'm on the subject, I will point out that a new tutorial for creating extensions has been created and includes instructions on how to provide installation in a proper way (may extensions have been observed instructing their users to use weird, hacky, unpythonic methods  -- which will likely stop working with the next release). Get your fixes in now and your users shouldn't notice anything.
