        This version of doxia includes an upgraded version of the markdown 
processor.  Combined with the upgraded maven-site-plugin, fixes two very 
important bugs:

        * MUCH better handling of URLs.  Older versions would exit with failure 
if it hit hdfs:// as a URL, despite being perfectly legal. [I’ve been 
"hand-fixing” release notes and the like to avoid hitting this one.]
        * Parser doesn’t have the infinite loop bug when it hit certain 
combinations of broken markdown, usually tables.

        I agree that it’s… less than ideal. 

        When I wrote the original version of that patch months ago, I was 
hoping it was a stop-gap.  Worst case, we publish our own version of the 
plugin.  But given that users will be empowered to fetch their own notes at 
build time, I felt it was important that this be more bullet proof…
