A full version history of the jstransformer-markdown-it package with size, number of distributed files and dependency evolution.
Jstransformer-markdown-it has evolved significantly since its initial release, offering a bridge between JSTransformers and the popular markdown-it library. The early versions (0.0.1 to 0.2.3), released in 2015 and early 2016, primarily focused on establishing the core functionality of transforming Markdown into HTML. Initially authored by Rob Loach, the project transitioned to the JSTransformers Team. These versions saw incremental updates to support newer markdown-it versions, progressing from version 3.0.6 to 6.0.1, along with minor additions like the markdown-it-mark plugin.
A significant milestone was reached with version 1.0.0 in August 2016, marking a stable release and the integration of markdown-it-container as a dev dependency. Version 2.0.0 quickly followed, upgrading the required markdown-it dependency to version 8.0.0. The 2.1.0 release in April 2018 introduced the xo linter to the development process, signaling a focus on code quality.
The most recent major update, version 3.0.0, arrived in July 2022. This version represents a substantial leap forward, requiring markdown-it version 13.0.1 and upgrading the markdown-it-container and markdown-it-mark dev dependencies. These version changes highlight the project's commitment to keeping pace with the evolving markdown-it ecosystem, ensuring compatibility and leveraging the latest features for seamless Markdown transformation within JSTransformers.
