^ Except dependencies like Parsedown.
The readme is now out of date. The legacy version of Parsedown was removed because we no longer need to support PHP versions older than 5.3. The stub file that loads ParsedownModern.php stays in place because it has the "class_exists" check.
See #300. Apparently, when using the `files` autoloading mechanism, Composer will only include the files for one version of the library (i.e. the first one loaded). Let's see if we can fix that by switching to a `psr-0` autoloader. This requires a bunch of changes to the standalone autoloader and the factory registration process.
- Added experimental GitHub support. The new PucGitHubChecker subclass can check a GitHub repository for plugin updates. Depending on configuration, it will use either the latest release, the latest tag, or the specified branch. It can also automagically extract version details (description, changelog, etc) from a number of different locations - release names, plugin headers, readme.txt, changelog.md and more.
- The "slug" field of the metadata file is no longer used. The update checker will now use the slug passed to the class constructor, or generate a slug based on the plugin file name.
- Other minor changes to slug handling.
- Version bump to 2.0.
