Installing nicl/silex-markdown with Silex 1.1

I experienced two issues when installing nicl/silex-markdown with Silex 1.1:

Installing nicl/silex-markdown failed with Silex 1.1 when following the installation procedure. Composer said:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- Installation request for nicl/silex-markdown 1.0.* -> satisfiable by nicl/silex-markdown[1.0.0
].
- Conclusion: remove silex/silex v1.1.2
- nicl/silex-markdown 1.0.0 requires silex/silex 1.0.* -> satisfiable by silex/silex[v1.0.0, v1.0.1, v1.0.2].
- Can only install one of: silex/silex[v1.1.2, v1.0.0].
- Can only install one of: silex/silex[v1.1.2, v1.0.1].
- Can only install one of: silex/silex[v1.1.2, v1.0.2].
- Installation request for silex/silex == 1.1.2.0 -> satisfiable by silex/silex[v1.1.2].

This can be resolved by changing the composer.json to the following. Note also that "minimum-stability": "dev" line was not necessary.

{
    "require": {
        "nicl/silex-markdown": "1.*"
    }
}

Ad. Usage: Registering Nicl\Silex required a name space:

So this line: $app->register(new MarkdownServiceProvider());
... was changed to: $app->register(new Nicl\Silex\MarkdownServiceProvider());

I am aware that this repository is no longer being maintained and provide the above information to others experiencing the same issue.
