3+## pandoc 2.8.1 (2019-12-05)
4+
5+ * Add `ascii_identifiers` as a supported extension for `markdown`.
6+ This fixes a regression in 2.8.
7+
8+ * Fix regression with behavior of `--variable` (#5962).
9+ Previously `-Vfoo=1 -Vfoo=2` would produce a list value for foo;
10+ with 2.8 it produced just `2`. This commit restores the earlier
11+ behavior.
12+
13+ * Roll back part of of `--shift-heading-level-by` change (#5957).
14+ With positive heading shifts, starting in 2.8 this option
15+ caused metadata titles to be removed and changed to regular
16+ headings. This behavior is incompatible with the old
17+ behavior of `--base-header-level` and breaks old workflows,
18+ so we have rolled back the change. Note that there is now an
19+ asymmetry in positive and negative heading level shifts:
20+ With positive shifts, the metadata title stays the same and
21+ does not get changed to a heading in the body, while with
22+ negative shifts, a heading can be converted into the
23+ metadata title.
24+
25+ * Text.Pandoc.Shared: Fix `makeSections` so it doesn't turn
26+ column Divs into sections.
27+
28+ * HTML writer: add task-list class to ul if all elements are
29+ task list items. This will allow styling unordered task
30+ lists in a way that omits the bullet.
31+
32+ * HTML-based templates: Add CSS to suppress bullet on unordered task lists.
33+
34+ * ConTeXt template: Fix `\startcslreferences` and use ConTeXt syntax
35+ conventions (#5945, Denis Maier). The old version had a too large
36+ a skip at the beginning of the reference list.
37+
38+ * LaTeX template: keep the `\author{}` command even if author is not
39+ specified (#5961, Yihui Xie). Avoids a LaTeX warning.
40+
41+ * Generate Emoji module with TH.
42+
43+ + Add Text.Pandoc.Emoji.TH.
44+ + Replace long literal list in Text.Pandoc.Emoji with one-liner
45+ generating it from `emoji.json` using TH.
46+ + Add Makefile target to download `emoji.json`.
47+ + Remove `tools/emoji.hs`.
48+
49+ * Increase GC allocation space for compilation in cabal.project.
50+
51+ * Clean up manual on PDF generation backend options (#5940).
52+
53+ * Update release checklist to include code signing step and update
54+ Windows release-candidate builds (#5950).
