<para>These are the release notes for the DocBook Slides
distribution. This file provides a high-level overview of features
and API changes in each release.</para>
<para>Bug fixes are (mostly) not documented here. For a complete
list of changes, including descriptions of bug fixes, see the <ulink
url="NEWS"/> file, which is auto-generated from the commit
descriptions for changes in the project CVS repository.</para>
<section>
<title>Release 3.4.0</title>
<para>This is a feature release that includes some significant
schema changes as well as fixes for a few bugs. The feature
changes include newly added support for generating presentations
in HTML Help format. There are also experimental versions of
stylesheets for generating presentations in Keynote and SVG
formats. It also includes a new (and still experimental)
<filename><ulink url="install.sh" >install.sh</ulink></filename>
script to facilitate XML catalog and locating-rules setup.</para>
<section id="V340_schema">
<title>Schemas</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Slides (non-full) is now based on <ulink
url="http://docbook.org/xml/simple/1.1/index.html" >Simplified
DocBook 1.1</ulink> and Slides "full" is now based on <ulink
url="http://docbook.org/xml/4.4/index.html" >DocBook
4.4</ulink>. The main benefit this provides is the ability to
use HTML tables in your Slides XML source (instead of just CALS
tables).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>RELAX NG schemas in RNC (compact-syntax) form as well as
in RNG (XML syntax) form are now included in the
distribution. You can use those to do context-sensitive
Slides editing in a RELAX NG-aware editor such as Emacs/nXML,
oXygen XML Editor, XMLBuddy, or Exchanger XML Editor. (Note
that the RELAX NG schemas are currently generated from the
DTDs).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>A <filename><ulink url="locatingrules.xml"
>locatingrules.xml</ulink> </filename> file has been added
to the distribution. The
<filename><ulink url="locatingrules.xml"
>locatingrules.xml</ulink></filename> file tells a
"locating rules"-aware editor such as Emacs/nXML to
automatically associate the included RELAX NG Slides schema
with any document whose root element is
<sgmltag>slides</sgmltag>, <sgmltag>foil</sgmltag>,
<sgmltag>foilgroup</sgmltag>, or
<sgmltag>speakernotes</sgmltag>.</para>
