Subject: Announce: DocBook V4.4CR2
DocBook V4.4CR2 is now available from http://docbook.org/. If no
problems are reported in the next thirty days, the DocBook Technical
Committee expects to make CR2 the official DocBook V4.4 release.
The following changes have been made since V4.3:
3. The DocBook Document Type V4.4CR2
The DocBook document type is distributed for XML and SGML from the DocBook
site at OASIS. DocBook is also available from the mirror on
http://docbook.org/.
3.1. Changes in DocBook V4.4CR2
There are no backwards-incompatible changes in this release.
Each of the changes made between DocBook V4.4CR1 and DocBook V4.4CR2 is
summarized here. For complete details, consult the individual RFEs and the
meeting minutes.
3.1.1. Bug Fixes
None.
3.1.2. Enhancements
o Added wordsize as a global effectivity attribute, per the June, 2004
minutes.
o Added a pointer from the DTD back to this specification.
3.2. Changes in DocBook V4.4CR1
There are no backwards-incompatible changes in this release.
Each of the changes made between DocBook V4.4b2 and DocBook V4.4CR1 is
summarized here. For complete details, consult the individual RFEs and the
meeting minutes.
3.2.1. Bug Fixes
None.
3.2.2. Enhancements
o Added xml:space to verbatim environments in the XML schemas.
o Added "protocol" to the list of class values allowed on the systemitem
element.
o Added the HTML forms hook to several "mix" parameter entities so that
HTML forms can occur in more places when the HTML Forms Module is
used.
3.3. Changes in DocBook V4.4b2
There are no backwards-incompatible changes in this release.
Each of the changes made between DocBook V4.4b1 and DocBook V4.4b2 is
summarized here. For complete details, consult the individual RFEs and the
meeting minutes.
3.3.1. Bug Fixes
o Version 4.4b2 includes the W3C XML Entity Declarations for Characters.
These entities are distributed for historical compatibility and user
convenience. The DocBook Technical Committee no longer attempts to
maintain these definitions and will periodically update them from the
W3C site if and as they are updated there.
o Removed xml:base from the SGML DTD.
o Allow HTML tables to nest (allow table and informaltable inside td and
th).
o Changed the rules attribute, which can appear on HTML tables, from an
enumeration to CDATA. This avoids a conflict with the enumerated
values on the frame attribute on CALS tables.
3.3.2. Enhancements
o Added bibliolist.
o Added a parameter entity to allow customizers to exclude the €
character entity.
3.4. Changes in DocBook V4.4b1
There are no backwards-incompatible changes in this release.
Each of the changes made between DocBook V4.3 and DocBook V4.4b1 is
summarized here. For complete details, consult the individual RFEs and the
meeting minutes.
3.4.1. Bug Fixes
o Added the HTML Table Module to the catalog files for DocBook and
DocBook XML.
3.4.2. Enhancements
o Added package element per the Febuary, 2004 meeting.
o Allow imageobjectco as a child of mediaobject (this effectively makes
mediaobjectco unnecessary) per the Febuary, 2004 meeting.
o Added biblioref element per the May, 2004 meeting.
o Added spacing attribute to variablelist per the April, 2004 meeting.
o Added superscript and subscript to the content model of the gui*
elements per the May, 2004 meeting.
Be seeing you,
norm
