These are the release notes for the DocBook XSL Stylesheets. This file documents (mostly) changes to the public APIs. What, exactly, counts as a public API is still somewhat in question, but it includes at least the global parameters.

Release 1.50.0

- This release introduces a new version numbering scheme. Version numbers are now three part: major.middle.minor. Changes to the middle version number indicate a change in the public API. Changes in only the minor number indicate simply a new release.

- The `generate.`*`.toc` and `generate.`*`.lot` parameters have been replaced by a single structured parameter, `generate.toc`.

  It's likely that the HTML and FO stylesheets do not handle ToC generation in exactly the same way, but they should.

- Added `strip-attributes.xsl` to the profiling stylesheets. This allows one to strip off, for example, profiling attributes after a document has been profiled.

- Improved numeration of footnotes and table footnotes. Made table footnotes render “properly” in FOs.

- Added a `formal.title.placement` parameter, allowing users to select placement of formal object titles either above or below the object.

- Improved control over delimiters for TeX equations.

- Support `classsynopsis` and friends in FOs.

- Changed HTML stylesheets to use `em` instead of `i` for `emphasis`.

- Added `chunk.quietly` parameter.

- Improved profiling code to support the full range of profiling attributes and to support one-pass profiling (if your XSLT processor understands the EXSLT `node-set` function.
