Podlite 2.0 is tagged. Podlite is a block-based markup language built around typed blocks and explicit boundaries — the same document is meant to read cleanly whether a person or a tool parses it. This release adds eight blocks and attributes and changes two parsing rules.

The specification is at podlite.org/specification; the full changelog sits inside the spec under =head2 v2.0.

The Coming in Podlite 2.0 article from the review window covered what is new in depth. This post focuses on what to do now: how to migrate existing documents and where to find the rest. For most documents the answer is short — a well-formed v1.0 document renders unchanged under v2.0.

Breaking changes

Two changes parse differently than before. Neither touches a well-formed document — if anything needs updating, it is a parser, not your text.
