Version 3.4.0

Released on Oct 19, 2026

• Add Python 3.15 support and include it in the CI test matrix.
• Require Python 3.10 or later.
• Parse inline links with an opening-bracket stack and replace per-syntax failure caches with source-local delimiter scanning.
• Share one inline nesting budget across images, links, emphasis, and plugins. Expose InlineParser.max_nested_level; the older max_emphasis_depth and max_image_depth settings configure the same limit.
• Preserve later valid syntax when a candidate fails or reaches a nesting limit, rather than treating the remaining input as unparsed text.
• Enforce CommonMark's 999-character reference label limit, balanced and bounded destination parentheses, and link title constraints.
• Improve performance for unclosed inline HTML, unmatched code delimiters, deeply nested images, and repeated text fragments.
• Recognize inline HTML comments permitted by CommonMark 0.31.2.
• Parse links containing full reference images without treating the image's reference label as a nested link.
• Preserve reference definitions parsed inside multi-paragraph footnotes.
• Accept definition-list markers indented by up to three spaces.
• Prefer longer registered abbreviation matches over shorter prefixes.
• Require at least one digit in ordered list continuation markers.
• Add Markdown rendering for strikethrough, mark, and insert plugins.
• Preserve escaped pipes in table code spans, literal trailing heading hashes, meaningful code span edge spaces, and leading blank lines in Markdown output.
• Keep images whose alt text matches their URL from becoming autolinks.
• Preserve non-line-break separator characters in rendered lists and hard line breaks in tight ReST list items.
• Document per-document renderer context and correct the custom Markdown renderer example.
• Preserve literal backslashes, image introducers, HTML delimiters and entity prefixes when rendering Markdown for a round trip.
• Only recognize task list markers in a list item's leading paragraph, preserving literal markers in headings.
• Bound the global convenience-parser cache and avoid retaining caller-owned renderers and plugin objects.
• Add public HTML output helpers for raw HTML, attributes, and URL policy.
• Share collision-safe default heading IDs between both TOC APIs.
• Add explicit start-character hints for custom inline rules; unhinted custom rules now use the correctness-first regular-expression scanner.
• Consolidate adversarial parser growth tests and document the security model.
