Wikitext 1.11 released

A new version of the Wikitext gem, version 1.11, is now available. This is a maintenance release which includes a number of internal tweaks and cleanups in preparation for the imminent Rails 3 final release. This is still preliminary work, however, and it is almost certain that more changes will be required and will follow in a subsequent Wikitext update.

Wikitext is a fast wikitext-to-HTML translator with a syntax very close to that used by MediaWiki. It is a Ruby extension written with speed and robustness in mind using a Ragel-generated scanner and an extremely fast hand-coded parser, all in C. It has an enormous spec suite.

You can browse the source code repo, or download the gem from the rubygems.org downloads page. For an overview of how to use the extension check out the RDoc here. If you have RubyGems then you can install it with either gem install wikitext or sudo gem install wikitext.
