There are a few fairly minor backward compatibility issues, please read the compatibility issues section in the CHANGLOG before upgrading. ## New Features AsciiDoc tables have been redesigned. The new syntax and features are a huge improvement over the old tables. The old tables syntax has been deprecated but is currently still processed. Lists can now be styled like other block elements. This allows a single list syntax for glossary, qanda (Question and Answer) and bibliography lists instead of having to remember a different syntax for each type. Here is some more information. Inline passthroughs macros have been improved and block passthrough macros added. Attribute substitution can be optionally specified when the macro is called. The passthrough block has a fully transparent passthrough delimited block block style called pass. The asciimath and latexmath passthrough macros along with asciimath and latexmath passthrough blocks provide a (backend dependent) mechanism for rendering mathematical formulas. There are LaTeX Math, AsciiMathML and LaTeXMathML examples on the AsciiDoc website. Read the CHANGELOG for a full list of all additions and changes.
