Release 3.0.0 · remarkjs/remark

⛄🎅🎄 Happy hollidays!

Today marks the release of remark, the markdown processor previously known as mdast, with, other than the cool name, many awesome updates.

Completely rewritten parser, resulting in huge performance improvements (up-to 50% faster), and much more pluggable;
Remove escape nodes from the AST (which is, by the way, now called mdast), meaning there’s no chance plug-ing authors accidentally insert markdown syntax into the tree;
Many different, miscellaneous bug-fixes.

Migrating

If you’re a plug-in author, see “Renaming from mdast to remark”.

In package.json files, rename mdastConfig to remarkConfig;
