Recent updates

  • 10.1.0

    Release 10.1.0 introduces a new `fallback` prop for `MarkdownHooks` and includes a fix for a race condition. The implementation also changes how `MarkdownHooks` renders before the markdown processor finishes and adjusts internal hook lifecycle handling.

    Features

  • 10.0.1

    Release 10.0.1 is described as a TypeScript performance fix around how components are typed. The diff shows no runtime logic changes, but there are multiple TypeScript-relevant type definition adjustments in the main entrypoint’s JSDoc, plus README and internal type-test harness changes.

  • 10.0.0

    Release 10.0.0 removes support for the `className` prop from `react-markdown`. The change eliminates the automatic wrapping `div` that previously applied the provided `className` to the rendered markdown output.

    Breaking

  • 9.1.0

    Release 9.1.0 introduces support for async Remark/Rehype plugins. The implementation adds new React components that route unified’s processing through sync, async-await, or client-side hook-based execution.

    Features

  • 9.0.3

    Release 9.0.3 appears to be a packaging-only update. The provided code diff shows only a version bump in package.json from 9.0.2 to 9.0.3, with no other code changes visible.

  • 9.0.2

    Release 9.0.2 focuses on TypeScript type updates intended to fix React 19 compatibility, and on enabling declaration maps. It also includes minor documentation fixes (typos) in the changelog.

  • 9.0.1

    Release 9.0.1 mainly updates the default URL sanitization logic to fix an issue with double encoding, and refreshes documentation examples to use React 18+ `createRoot`. The code changes also remove a dependency and reimplement the “safe protocol” decision logic directly in `defaultUrlTransform`.

  • 9.0.0

    react-markdown 9.0.0 is a major release that modernizes the package to ESM exports, requires Node.js 16 and React 18, and consolidates URL rewriting into a single urlTransform option. It also removes multiple legacy/unsafe options and changes runtime behavior to surface errors for removed props with improved messaging.

    BreakingFeatures

  • 8.0.7

    react-markdown 8.0.7 includes a documented performance tweak related to React element keys and a documentation/types fix for the syntax highlight example. The code change for keys is more substantial than the release notes describe, as it changes how element keys are generated during rendering.

  • 8.0.6

    Release 8.0.6 is presented as an update to TypeScript 5. The actual diff is small, with only minor type-definition changes plus a dev dependency and test update.
