Enhancements:
- Support of new OASIS Standard: "The DocBook Schema Version 5.2". Corresponding reference is "DocBook 5.2: The Definitive Guide" by Norman Walsh.
- New remark editor makes it now possible to reply to a remark made by another user of XXE. See Tools menu, Remark submenu.
- Added a
merge
attribute to thecategory
child element of configuration elementsattributeVisibility
andelementVisibility
to make it simpler and less error prone customizing these elements. - "Paste from Word Processor or Browser" add-on: when generating XHTML 1.0 Strict, XHTML 1.0 Transitional, XHTML 1.1, the
xml:lang
attribute is automatically added to elements having alang
attribute. Note that is does not happen when generating XHTML 5.0. However this feature may be controlled using new boolean parametertransform.add-xml-lang
. - Upgraded XMLmind Assembly Processor to version 2.0, which now supports processing DocBook 5.2 documents.
- Upgraded XMLmind DITA Converter (ditac for short) to version 3.15.
- Upgraded XMLmind Ebook Compiler (ebookc for short) to version 1.10.
- Upgraded the "Word To XML" add-on to XMLmind Word To XML version 1.11.
- Upgraded the XMLmind XSL-FO Converter (XFC for short) plug-in to version 6.4.2.
- Upgraded Saxon to version 12.4.
- Upgraded XMLResolver to version 5.2.3.
- "FlatLaf Look and Feel" add-on: updated FlatLaf to version 3.4. (On Linux, the "FlatLaf" light theme is used as the default Look & Feel.)
Possible incompatibilities:
- All the DocBook configurations (
.xxe
) have been renamed (example: "DocBook
" becomes "DocBook 4
"). All the DocBook configuration add-ons (.xxe_addon
) have been renamed (example: "DocBook v5+ configuration
" becomes "DocBook 5.0 configuration
"). Some DocBook configuration files have (.xxe
,.incl
) been renamed (example:docbook51/assembly.xxe
becomesdocbook51/assembly51.xxe
). - XMLmind Assembly Processor v2 introduced a number of breaking changes, so please make sure to read "How to “port” your assemblies to XMLmind Assembly Processor v2" if you want to successfully convert your DocBook 5.1+ assemblies to other formats using XXE.
Bug fixes:
- Saving a document containing a processing-instruction whose text contained "
?>
" (or a comment containing string "--
") caused XXE to report an error (which is correct) but also caused the saved file to be completely empty. - macOS only: the "Use Windows® standard fonts" button found in the FOP and XEP preferences sheets (Options|Preferences, Add-on|FOP and XEP sections) was always disabled.
