  • Improved scroll synchronization for Markdown preview.

  • Substantially improved syntax highlighting performance.

  • Code blocks can now properly be nested under other block-level elements in Markdown preview.

  • Newlines in Markdown are now rendered as line breaks, similar to GitHub-flavored Markdown.
