### BREAKING CHANGES
- `markdown-it-attrs` is disabled for fenced code blocks. For most users no change is required. If you want to add classes to code blocks, do it using shiki transformers instead.
- Rename `cjkFriendly` to `cjkFriendlyEmphasis` in your vitepress config. Most people should be unaffected unless they want to disable the CJK emphasis behavior added v2.0.0-alpha.12.
