+* Autolink validation is now stricter in the default mode, to maintain conformance with the GitHub Flavored Markdown autolinks extension spec. Those parses which previously worked but no longer do --- such as `http://localhost` (!), `www.com` (!?), or `https://` (!?!) --- are now part of the `relaxed_autolinks` option.
