Hi everyone,
EPUBCheck v4.2.6 is now available at the following page:
https://github.com/w3c/epubcheck/releases/tag/v4.2.6
This is a maintenance release of EPUBCheck, which only reverts two checks recently introduced in v4.2.5. In this new version:
• the 'role' property can now refine 'creator', 'contributor', and 'publisher' properties more than once
• Media Overlays no longer have to match the reading order of the associated Content Documents
It had come to our attention that the stricter checks introduced in v4.2.5 were problematic to some users. As the related conformance criteria will be relaxed in EPUB 3.3, we decided to proactively relax them in EPUBCheck too.
**Note**:
Only users who were negatively impacted by these two checks have to update their setup to EPUBCheck v4.2.6. For others, EPUBCheck v4.2.6 will behave exactly like EPUBCheck v4.2.5. We always advise users update to the latest version, but we understand that you may like to avoid the overhead of updating your production systems at shorter intervals!
As usual, feedback or bug reports are always welcome! via replies to this email or directly to our issue tracker on GitHub:
https://github.com/w3c/epubcheck/issues
Many thanks to everyone who keeps contributing via bug reports, testing, pull requests, or localization!
Best,
Romain.
