Subject:   DocBook XML V4.1.2 Released (& mirrored)

[Note: DocBook Version 4.1.2 was released [with a small change] on August 27, 2000.]

DocBook XML V4.1.2 has been released.

Changes from DocBook V4.0 to DocBook V4.1.1/V4.1.2:

Removed some 4.0 future use comments that had accidentally been left in the DTD
Fixed system identifiers in docbook.cat
Added version information to all the ent/*.ent files
Fixed a number of numeric character references in the ent/*.ent files
Fixed a couple of incorrect FPIs.
Renamed dbgenent.ent to dbgenent.mod for parity with SGML version

See 40chg.txt for a list of the significant changes.

You can retrieve DocBook XML V4.1.2 from:

http://docbook.org/xml/4.1.2/

You can also retrieve DocBook V4.1 from

http://docbook.org/sgml/4.1/

In fact, several recent releases of each DTD are now mirrored on

http://docbook.org/.

As several people have noticed :-), the DocBook Home Page on http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ is down. The mirror on docbook.org should keep everyone in business until the official site can be rebuilt. (I have all the sources, it's a simple matter of running the right mirror script, but apparently things are proceeding slowly on the server end.)

Be seeing you,
norm

P.S. I will be on vacation for the first two weeks of September, so there are not likely to be any updates during that period. :-)
