Changes since the last packaged release (0.4.1, July 2006)
are listed briefly below (please refer to the ChangeLog in
directory ReleaseNotes at the Sourceforge archive for a full
list).
Following the major architectural changes introduced in the
previous release, this release has focused on improving the
prose of several chapters, on extending the suite of available
examples and templates, and on a number of minor corrections and
enhancements deriving from Sourceforge feature requests.
-
Work on rationalising and making consistent the representation of
dates on various attributes began, but is not yet complete. Elements
<dateRange> and <timeRange> have been removed.
-
Changes in the way that model class references are
processed by the ODD processor were implemented. These changes
will help to avoid problems of inter-module dependency as well
as enhancing the range of facilities in the ODD
language.
-
At Council's request the XML source files have been
given longer names reminiscent of their English chapter
titles.
-
The draft chapter on linking and segmentation was
revised for readability and one of its longer examples was
enhanced to demonstrate use of SVG graphics within a TEI
document.
-
A first draft of a revision of the chapter on
non-hierarchic markup was included.
-
Several new exemplars and templates were added,
complementing a major revision of the Roma schema generation
tool. Each example now includes a template. Examples of the
use of SVG, XInclude, and MathML have been added.
-
Spanish language translations for element descriptions
etc. were added.
-
The process of replacing explicit element or attribute
references with class references continued in several content
models and element declarations.
-
The P5 colophon was updated.
-
A new <age> element was added.
-
Numerous minor typographic errors have been corrected.
