```md
* one
* two
* three
```
Before (ouput):
```html
- one
```
After (output):

```
To migrate either fix source md files or activate the option `disableForced4SpacesIndentedSublists`:

## [1.0.2](https://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/compare/1.0.1...1.0.2) (2015-05-28)
### Bug Fixes

## [1.0.0](https://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/compare/0.3.4...1.0.0) (2015-05-27)
### Release Information
This is a major code refactor with some big changes such as:
- showdown.js file was split in several files, called sub-parsers. This should improve code maintainability.
- angular integration was removed from core and move to its own repository, similar to what was done with extensions
- A new extension registering system is on the "cooks" that should reduce errors when using extensions. The old mechanism
is kept so old extensions should be compatible.
### Bug Fixes
* **extensions:** support for old extension loading mechanism ([95ed7c68](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/95ed7c68))
* **helpers:** fix wrong function call 'escapeCharacters' due to old strayed code ([18ba4e75](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/18ba4e75))
* **showdown.js:**
- fix showdown extension loader ([a38c76d2](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/a38c76d2)),

### Features
* **registerExtension():** new extension loading mechanism. Now extensions can be registered using this function.
The system, however, is not final and will probably be changed until the final version([0fd10cb] (http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/0fd10cb))

### Breaking Changes
* **NAMESPACE:** showdown's namespace changed.
To migrate your code you should update all references to `Showdown` with `showdown`.
* **Converter:** converter reference changed from `converter` to `Converter`.
To migrate you should update all references to `Showdown.converter` with `showdown.Converter`
* **angular:** angular integration was removed from core and now lives in it's own [repository](http://github.com/showdownjs/angular/).
If you're using angular integration, you should install ng-showdown. Ex: `bower install ng-showdown`
* **extensions:** showdown extensions were removed from core package and now live in their own repository. See the [project's github page](https://github.com/showdownjs) for available extensions
