Hello, my name is Dice. I’m rubyist in Japan.

I have released BlueFeather 0.20. This software is extended Markdown  
converter  
based on BlueCloth 1.0.0.

These are changes from BlueFeather 0.10.

- Adapt to ruby 1.9.x series! And so encoding handling rule was clearly  
documented.

- Add --force option to command-line tool. If you use it, target files  
are  
converted despite modified time.

- Extend TOC format for specifing header-level.

BlueFeather is software for converting text written by extended  
Markdown like  
PHP Markdown Extra to html. It is pair of command-line tool and pure  
Ruby  
library. (It adapts to ruby 1.8.x and 1.9.x)

BlueFeather is based on BlueCloth 1.0.0. And that, some extensions is  
added –  
known bug fix, changing interface and extension of Markdown syntax.  
Especially, it imported many extension from PHP Markdown Extra –  
definition list, footnote, table, and others.

This software is such as alpha edition, so it is _unstable_ yet. But, I  
will improve actively it. Please try BlueFeather!
