* [1]Incompatible changes

* [2]New features

* [3]Bug fixes

* [4]Housekeeping

Incompatible changes

* The String#to_inline_xhtml method has been removed. Use
the String#to_xhtml method, which now returns inline
XHTML, instead.

New features

* Add "text" and "code" nodes for <pre> and <code>.

* Add "chain" parameter to [5]XHTML node definitions.

* Add [6]command! floats for listing shell commands and
their output.

* Reduce XHTML output size by activating image data URIs at
runtime using JavaScript. Previously, data URIs were
emitted into XHTML at compile time.

* Upgrade from XHTML 1.0 Transitional to Strict.

Bug fixes

* Add support for [7]multiple tab rows in jQuery UI tab
bars.

* Auto-detected mime types were inserted incorrectly in
base64 embeds.

* Prevent block-level children of <ins> from appearing
underlined on screen (Opera browsers) and in print
(Microsoft browsers).

* <blockquote/> icon did not appear in print style.

* Prevent mini navigation menus from colliding.

Housekeeping

* Remove the need for highlighting scroll target by setting
body height so that any element can be brought to the top
of the screen via scrolling.

* Place mini navigation menus on jQuery UI tab bars when
possible.

* Show logo image in full and centered above document
header.

* Completely remove <p> around block-level child (added by
Markdown).

* Fix XHTML validation errors on <table>, <tfoot>, <img> in
RDoc strings, and output of syntax coloring library.

* DRY up XHTML node definitions using YAML hash merging
operator.
