+AsciiDoc Version 8.3
+====================
+
+This is significant release, it gets rid of unused cruft, simplifies
+the http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/newlists.html[lists] syntax and
+introduces a decent
+http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/newtables.html[tables] syntax.
+There are a few fairly minor backward compatibility issues, please
+read the link:CHANGELOG.html#X1[compatibility issues] section in the
+CHANGLOG before upgrading.
+
+New Features
+------------
+- AsciiDoc tables have been redesigned. The link:newtables.html[new
+ syntax and features] are a huge improvement over the old tables. The
+ old tables syntax has been deprecated but is currently still
+ processed.
+- Lists can now be styled like other block elements. This allows a
+ single list syntax for 'glossary', 'qanda' (Question and Answer) and
+ 'bibliography' lists instead of having to remember a different
+ syntax for each type. link:newlists.html[Here is some more
+ information].
+- Inline passthroughs macros have been improved and block passthrough
+ macros added. Attribute substitution can be optionally specified
+ when the macro is called.
+- The passthrough block has a fully transparent passthrough delimited
+ block block style called 'pass'.
+- The 'asciimath' and 'latexmath' link:userguide.html#X77[passthrough
+ macros] along with 'asciimath' and 'latexmath'
+ link:userguide.html#X76[passthrough blocks] provide a (backend
+ dependent) mechanism for rendering mathematical formulas. There are
+ link:latexmath.pdf[LaTeX Math], link:asciimathml.html[AsciiMathML]
+ and link:latexmathml.html[LaTeXMathML] examples on the AsciiDoc
+ website.
+
+Read the link:CHANGELOG.html[CHANGELOG] for a full list of all
+additions and changes.
