Revision r3400 introduces a new version of Textile — the most significant advancement in its history since, uhhh, the last upgrade :-)

It fixes a slew of leftover bugs from 2.0 (some from even earlier!) and adds a tonne of new features or improvements, plus some performance enhancements. It’s been through rigorous testing both from a custom test framework to verify backwards compatibility and an army of beta testers who have all done a magnificent job in finding little niggles and pointing out additional features.

Now it’s your turn! Please consider trying it out.

As it stands we don’t have an official home for this version of Textile; Alex’s guide and test page on Thresholdstate are no longer current. We will have some more news on this presently and we’ll try and give Textile a proper long-term abode. For the time being, please visit Sitemonks for testing and bug reporting. There are packaged demo texts on the site for you to try out and become acquainted with the syntax. General comments can go in this thread.

This version would not have been possible were it not for the tireless work put in by Steve (net-carver). He is the hero of this release, from writing the custom testing framework and sitemonks engine that allowed Textile to be stressed to the limit, all the way through to implementing Destry’s notelist request that allows Wikipedia-style references to be automatically generated and maintained with minimal involvement from you. Please raise your glasses and tip hats to Steve’s amazing work.

Thank you again to all involved. We hope it serves everyone well.
