Changes
-------

See [Change Log](CHANGES.md)


Building
--------

[Gradle](https://gradle.org) can be used to build Markdown Writer FX from source
code. **Java 19** is required to run Gradle (and Markdown Writer FX).

The Gradle task `assembleDist` builds a distribution for the current platform
(uses `jpackage`) and requires that Gradle is running on a JDK that includes
JavaFX. E.g. BellSoft Liberica JDK (package 'Full JDK') or Azul Zulu JDK
(package 'JDK FX').
