Hi folks,

Hopefully frequent release announcements won’t be too distracting. I
expect the pace will slow down after the obvious kinks are sorted out.

* Reworked CALS table formatting to fix #48. Starting with this release,
  it should be possible to process arbitrarily long tables. This is
  accomplished by processing the tables in a single forward pass.
  Consequently, it is no longer possible for the stylesheets to work out
  the align-char-width by inspecting the cells in the column. If an
  align-char-width is not specified with a PI, the default
  $align-char-width will be used.

* Updated the documentation in the reference guide to be explicit about
  build prerequisites. (Fix #49.)

* Changed the default chunking rules so that the first section of a
  chapter, appendix, or other component is included in the chunk with
  that component. This will improve the presentation of components that
  have only a short amount of introductory material before the first
  section (and greatly improve the presentation when there is no
  introductory material before the first section). (Fix #45.)

* Updated the JavaScript libraries to avoid use of .replaceAll() which
  is not yet widely (enough) supported. (Fix #52.)

* Updated the CSS for admonitions so that it’s more easily configured
  with CSS variables. I tweaked the presentation of code inside
  admonitions to avoid contrasting background colors that I found
  aesthetically problematic.

* Changed the CSS for literal so that it will imply white-space: nowrap.
  Adding a role="break" will return white space to normal.

* Documented that building on Windows does not work. (Close #44.)

* Added trademark marks (™,℠,©,®) for the trademark element. For the
  moment, this is done with ::after in CSS rather than putting the marks
  explicitly in the HTML output.

* Changed package, markup, token, returnvalue, type, and errorcode
  formatting to use code instead of span.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
