This is a patch release in the 2.0.x release line to further compatibility with Ruby 3.3.

The most critical fix in this release is to remove use of the base64 library since it will no longer being provided as part of the Ruby language starting with Ruby 3.4. When using Ruby 3.3, users would see a warning if this library is used, which happens when the data-uri attribute is set. The functionality has been replaced with a lower-level method on the String object (String#pack), which the base64 library delegates to anyway.

This release also sets the cloaked-context attribute on a source block that is defined using either a styled paragraph or a literal or fenced code structural container. This matches the functionality used for custom block extensions (when the source context does not match the final parsed context).

Distribution

• RubyGem (asciidoctor)

Asciidoctor is also packaged for Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine Linux, OpenSUSE, and Homebrew. You can use the system's package manager to install the package named asciidoctor.
