ANN: pandoc 2.2.2

ANN: pandoc 2.2.2

[John MacFarlane]

I'm pleased to announce the release of pandoc 2.2.2:

Changelog and binary packages:
  https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/tag/2.2.2
API docs and source code:
  https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc

This is mostly a bug-fix release (see changelog for
details).  Take note in particular of the following changes:

- We now use a different library to parse YAML
  metadata fields. This library implements YAML 1.2,
  where the valid boolean "true" values are "true",
  "True", "TRUE". Previously, "on", "yes," and "y"
  would count as "true" values, but they no longer do.

- --template can now take a URL as argument.  In this
  case the contents of the template will be fetched
  over the network.

Thanks to all who contributed, including Mauro Bieg,
Anders Waldenborg, Raymond Ehlers, Alexander Krotov,
Albert Krewinkel, Adrian Sieber, Gandalf Saxe,
wiefling, kaizshang91, lux-lth, and Felix Yan.

The parser is choking on YAML that used to work. Running it through a 1.2 validator I get this error:

```
found unknown escape character "'"
  in "<unicode string>", line 83, column 67:
     ... n class='nocase'>a.k.a</span>. \'hacking\'"
```

Apparently \ is not the way to escape single quotes... Do they need escaping or is there some other way?

When I run pandoc-2.2.2-windows-x86_64.msi, it says it is installing version 2.2.1, and then takes me to the page to uninstall.

It depends on the context.  Can you give the whole
field?  ALso, check the spec: http://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html

The new version installs correctly, thanks.

FWIW, the original 2.2.2 msi file (x86-64) was 24.7 MB in size, exactly the same as the 2.2.1 msi file. And comparing the two msi files (as binary files) showed them identical except for a short section at the end of the file.

The new 2.2.2-1 msi file is 5.5 MB in size and is completely different. Of course comparing the zip files would probably be more informative...

Thanks for the quick fix.

Chris

pandoc's diagnostics aren't specific, but I think it's the single quotes because the following fails at:

Simply put: in YAML single quotes inside double quotes and double quotes
inside single quotes need not and cannot be escaped `"I don't"` and `'Say
"Yes!"'` respectively, double quotes inside double quotes are escaped with
a preceding backslash `"Say \"Yes!\""` while single quotes inside single
quotes are escaped by doubling: `'I don''t'`. Note also that backtick is a
reserved character in YAML so strings containing it must be quoted or put
in a block scalar although not all YAML parsers enforce that rule.
