This release-notes document is available in the following formats: HTML, PDF,
plain text; it provides a per-release list of enhancements and changes to the
stylesheets’ public APIs (user-configurable parameters) and excludes
descriptions of most bug fixes. For a complete list of all changes (including
all bug fixes) that have been made since the previous release, see the separate
NEWS (plain text) or NEWS.html files. Also available: An online hyperlinked
change history (warning: big file) of all changes made over the entire history
of the codebase.
As with all DocBook Project “dot one plus” releases, this release aspires to be
stable (in contrast to dot-zero releases, which are experimental).
