v2.0.18

First and foremost, this was the first fully-automated release of this library. This new process will allows us to put out releases faster. 🎉

While development on the 2.1.0 release continues, we pulled out some of the small improvements and bug fixes and put them into this patch release for the 2.0.x release line.

The most notable fix is to tighten up the uriish? helper so it only detects a URI pattern at the start of a string, avoiding misleading messages and a potential vulnerability if misused. Speaking of misleading messages, the highlight.js integration has been updated so it isn't run on a source block that doesn't define a language (when the data-lang attribute is absent) and thus doesn't issue a warning. If transcoding an attribute value passed via the CLI, the encoding is gracefully coerced to UTF-8. If extension code is malformed, the source location in the exception message is properly formatted.

Many of the other bug fixes and improvements came out of work on Asciidoctor Reducer. Those improvements include resetting the extension registry if activate is called on it again, prevent error if unregister is called on the registry before groups are initialized, format the source location in exception message when extension code is malformed, add the include role to the link macro that replaces the include directive when the include is not enabled, store an include path in the includes table of the document catalog with the value true if it is included both partially and full, propagate the :to_dir option to the document for an AsciiDoc table cell, and fix the lineno on the reader when the skip-front-matter attribute is set but the end of the front matter is not found.

As far as user-facing changes go, the default stylesheet has been updated to honor the marker style on a nested unordered list when a marker is defined on an ancestor list.
