What’s New in MathJax v2.5¶

MathJax v2.5 includes a number of new features, as well a more than 70 important bug fixes. The following are some of the highlights.

Features¶

Speed improvements. The HTML-CSS output performance was improved by 30-40% (depending on content complexity, with higher gains in more complex content such as very long documents).
New output for fast preview. The new CommonHTML output provides a rough but 10x-faster rendering. The CHTML-preview extension will use this fast output as a preview mode for HTML-CSS or SVG output.
Improved Content MathML support. Content MathML is now fully supported via a new extension, in particular this allows customization of the conversion process.
Improved elementary math support The experimental support for elementary math elements has been significantly improved special thanks to David Carlisle.
NodeJS compatibility. Enable the implementation of a NodeJS API (released as MathJax-node).

Numerous display bugs, line-breaking problems, and interface issues have been resolved; for a detailed listing please check the release milestone.
