MathJax-node v1.0 released

We’re happy to announce the public release of MathJax-node v1.0. This marks the first major release and a milestone for enabling MathJax-quality math rendering in Node.js applications.

Since the start of its development in 2014, MathJax-node has seen several pre-releases and large-scale adoption, in particular on Wikipedia (via its new mathoid backend). Thanks to the feedback from the community, we could streamline the API for v1.0, removing several features in favor of separate modules. And of course we fixed several important issues.
