Version 2.0.1 of BlueCloth has been released.

BlueCloth is a Ruby implementation of [Markdown][1], a text-to-HTML  
conversion tool for web writers. To quote from the project page:  
Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain  
text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
