## kramdown 0.14.0 released

First of all please note that this release contains a
**backwards-incompatible** change: The syntax for specifying a code
language for a code block or code span has changed. Instead of using
`lang='CODELANG'` one has to use `.language-CODELANG` now.

This change has been introduced to avoid problems because the
`lang="..."` attribute is used by HTML for other purposes than setting
the code language. Furthermore using `.language-CODELANG` is also
proposed by HTML5 and it seems to be a good way to achieve the needed
functionality.

Other changes in this release include the possibility of setting the
code language on the starting line of a fenced code block and a way of
excluding certain headers from the table of contents by assigning the
`.no_toc` class to them.
