Changelog

All notable changes made in 2.x releases are shown below. See the full list of releases for the complete changelog.

2.6.0 - 2024-12-07

This is a security release to address potential denial of service attacks when parsing specially crafted, malicious input from untrusted sources (like user input). See https://github.com/thephpleague/commonmark/security/advisories/GHSA-c2pc-g5qf-rfrf for more details.

Added

• Added max_delimiters_per_line config option to prevent denial of service attacks when parsing malicious input
• Added table/max_autocompleted_cells config option to prevent denial of service attacks when parsing large tables
• The AttributesExtension now supports attributes without values (#985, #986)
• The AutolinkExtension exposes two new configuration options to override the default behavior (#969, #987):
  • autolink/allowed_protocols - an array of protocols to allow autolinking for
  • autolink/default_protocol - the default protocol to use when none is specified
• Added RegexHelper::isWhitespace() method to check if a given character is an ASCII whitespace character
• Added CacheableDelimiterProcessorInterface to ensure linear complexity for dynamic delimiter processing
• Added Bracket delimiter type to optimize bracket parsing

Changed

• [ and ] are no longer added as Delimiter objects on the stack; a new Bracket type with its own stack is used instead
• UrlAutolinkParser no longer parses URLs with more than 127 subdomains
• Expanded reference links can no longer exceed 100kb, or the size of the input document (whichever is greater)
• Delimiters should always provide a non-null value via DelimiterInterface::getIndex()
  • We’ll attempt to infer the index based on surrounding delimiters where possible
• The DelimiterStack now accepts integer positions for any $stackBottom argument
• Several small performance optimizations

2.5.3 - 2024-08-16

Changed

• Made compatible with CommonMark spec 0.31.1, including:

Fixed

• Fixed ExternalLinkProcessor not fully disabling the rel attribute when configured to do so (#992)

2.4.0 - 2023-03-24

See the upgrading guide for more information about the exception-related changes

Added

• Added generic CommonMarkException marker interface for all exceptions thrown by the library
• Added several new specific exception types implementing that marker interface:
  • AlreadyInitializedException
  • InvalidArgumentException
  • IOException
  • LogicException
  • MissingDependencyException
  • NoMatchingRendererException
  • ParserLogicException
• Added more configuration options to the Heading Permalinks extension (#939):
  • heading_permalink/apply_id_to_heading - When true, the id attribute will be applied to the heading element itself instead of the <a> tag
  • heading_permalink/heading_class - class to apply to the heading element
  • heading_permalink/insert - now accepts none to prevent the creation of the <a> link
• Added new table/alignment_attributes configuration option to control how table cell alignment is rendered (#959)

Changed

• Change several thrown exceptions from RuntimeException to LogicException (or something extending it), including:
  • CallbackGenerators that fail to set a URL or return an expected value
  • MarkdownParser when deactivating the last block parser or attempting to get an active block parser when they’ve all been closed
  • Adding items to an already-initialized Environment
  • Rendering a Node when no renderer has been registered for it
• HeadingPermalinkProcessor now throws InvalidConfigurationException instead of RuntimeException when invalid config values are given.
• HtmlElement::setAttribute() no longer requires the second parameter for boolean attributes
• Several small micro-optimizations
• Changed Strikethrough to only allow 1 or 2 tildes per the updated GFM spec

Fixed

• Fixed inaccurate @throws docblocks throughout the codebase, including ConverterInterface, MarkdownConverter, and MarkdownConverterInterface.
  • These previously suggested that only \RuntimeExceptions were thrown, which was inaccurate as \LogicExceptions were also possible.
