Hi folks,

I=E2=80=99ve been trying to get a new version of the DocBook xslTNG Stylesh=
eets
finished for a few weeks now. The big (and sometimes backwards
incompatible changes) are:

* The system for dealing with generated text has been completely
  rewritten. We=E2=80=99re back to using templates as described in Chapter =
4 of
  the updated reference guide. Most of the parameters, variables, and
  functions associated with gentext have been removed. Properties have
  been removed and all template lookups are now done with XPath
  expressions instead ad hoc string matching.

* It=E2=80=99s likely that there are small changes to the way lists-of-titl=
es
  and cross references are formatted by default in some cases.

* Labels for formal objects may be different, but I think these changes
  actually fix previously unreported bugs.

* In some contexts, for example callouts, labels are now used for the
  links instead of titles.

* The parameters for the t:top-nav and t:bottom-nav templates have
  changed. These templates are now always called, even when chunking is
  not being performed. The new $chunk parameter indicates whether or not
  a chunk is being formatted.

* Fixed a bug where orderedlist numeration was not handled correctly in
  cross-references to list items.

* Made another attempt at sorting out how media object URIs are resolved
  in the source (for reading their properties) and formatted in the
  output. If the $mediaobject-input-base-uri is specified, it is always
  used. Documented some subtleties with respect to the
  $chunk-output-base-uri parameter.

* Added support for ISO 690 bibligraphes.

* Fixed bug where authorgroup wasn=E2=80=99t being processed in biblioentry.

* I reworked the way the persistent ToC is generated. You can now have a
  single, external ToC instead of nesting it in every chunk. The way
  navigation works and the CSS have been improved.

* I removed up arrow from $chunk-nav (issue #170). That will be in 2.0.3
  which hasn=E2=80=99t been pushed to Maven yet.

There are probably other changes as well, fixing localization was a
pretty substantial change.

Many customization layers will need to be updated before they=E2=80=99ll
generate the right output. If you=E2=80=99re having trouble, please open up=
 a
bug report and I=E2=80=99ll try to help.

I have pushed 2.0.2 to Maven for everyone=E2=80=99s convenience.

I=E2=80=99ve reworked The Definitive Guide and a couple of other projects t=
o use
the 2.x stylesheets and it seems to be going well. I=E2=80=99d love feedback
from folks who use the localization support.

I expect if there are no new reports, I=E2=80=99ll wrap it up as 2.1.0 in a=
 week
or so and make it the current official version.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
