The spec has been updated to 0.26:
http://spec.commonmark.org/0.26
New versions of cmark, the C reference implementation, and commonmark.js, the JavaScript reference implementation, have also been released:
There are quite a few changes to the spec: see the changelog for full details. Among the more important changes:
- empty list items can no longer interrupt a paragraph; this resolves an ambiguity with setext headers
- ordered lists can interrupt a paragraph only when beginning with
1 - the two-blank-lines-breaks-out-of-lists rule has been removed
- the spec for emphasis and strong emphasis has been refined to give more intuitive results in some cases
- tabs can be used after the
#in an ATX header and between the markers in a thematic break
cmark and commonmark.js have seen many improvements, including
- a better algorithm for parsing emphasis and links (due to Robin Stocker)
- an optional interface in cmark which permits use of a custom memory allocator for nodes (Vicent Marti)
- improvements to cmark’s renderers, especially the commonmark renderer
