Detailed Description
This should be a straightforward change: cmark will be updated from 0.30.3 to 0.31.1.
The main effort is just rebuilding all the dependent packages to avoid dependency breakage, since cmark-lib has a tight soname.
The list of known dependent packages is given below in the Dependencies section.
