DOCBOOK-APPS: Announce: DocBook XSL Stylesheets V1.51.1

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

Sigh. There's a small glitch in common/en.xml in 1.51.0. So I'm
releasing 1.51.1. Hey, at least it gave me an opportunity to try out
the new three part numbering system, right?

|  These are the release notes for the DocBook XSL Stylesheets. This file
|  documents (mostly) changes to the public APIs. What, exactly, counts as a
|  public API is still somewhat in question, but it includes at least the
|  global parameters.
|
|  Release 1.51.0
|
|    o Added an extension function to determine the intrinsic size of an
|      image. Works for the image formats supported by the Java Image class
|      and or PostScript-derived formats.
|
|    o Added callout bullets 11-15.
|
|    o Removed obsolete using.chunker parameter.

|
|    o Completely reworked support for graphic attributes in HTML.
|
|    o Add additional LINK elements to the HTML HEAD (for site navigation as

                                        Be seeing you,
