Wikitext 2.1.1 released

A minor bugfix release of the Wikitext gem, version 2.1.1, is now available. It handles a couple of edge cases in which supplying invalid link markup would cause the unexpected token to be omitted from the output (the desired behavior is for the link to be "rolled back" and the unexpected token to be included in the output so as to provide feedback to the markup author about his/her mistake).

About the gem

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 docs here. If you have RubyGems then you can install it with either gem install wikitext or sudo gem install wikitext.
