Breaking Changes

• Requires Parsedown 1.8.0 or later (previously 1.7.4)

Fixed

• PHP 8.2+ deprecation: replaced mb_convert_encoding(..., 'HTML-ENTITIES') with mb_encode_numericentity() (#192, #173)

• Tests run on PHP 7.1 through 8.4
• Updated phpunit requirement to ^7.5|^8.5|^9.6

This is a pre-release.

There are a few bugfixes, mostly changes have been towards compatibility with the latest Parsedown beta.

0.7.1 was released a while ago under the 0.7.1 tag, but GitHub release notes weren't added: causing https://github.com/erusev/parsedown-extra/releases/latest to link to version 0.7.0 as the latest release. These release notes only fill the purpose of updating that link and the latest release as noted by GitHub.
