3 Upgraded from 3.20180105 to 3.20180228 (from pkgsrc).
4 No change to installed Text::Markdown::Discount (0.11nb4 from pkgsrc, using upstream's bundled Discount library).
6 # What I expected to happen
8 Markdown-style links to continue being rendered as before.
10 # What actually happened
12 Markdown-style links stopped being links.
13 Instead, they render the part in square brackets as ordinary text.
17 In [f46e429](http://source.ikiwiki.branchable.com/?p=source.git;a=commitdiff;h=f46e429d96ead32943cb2670d7686df8c77de361), if I comment out the `MKD_GITHUBTAGS` if block, the problem goes away.
19 # Further causes and possible solutions
23 - Sufficiently old versions of the Discount library may break when passed unrecognized flags, in which case ikiwiki might want to version-check before passing flags
24 - The version of the Discount library bundled with upstream Text::Markdown::Discount may be extremely old, in which case pkgsrc might want to make it depend instead on an external Discount package
26 > This appears to be because `MKD_GITHUBTAGS` and `MKD_LATEX` both have numeric values that

34 > Orthogonally, pkgsrc should probably use an up-to-date version of Discount, and

38 >> This should be [[fixed|done]] in current git. The mdwn module now
