After a few months of very active development and some testing, the CSS validation service was updated yesterday: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ Among the changes brought by this latest code is a cleanup of the SOAP interface to the validator, making it now stable and officially supported. A WSDL description for the service is being worked on, and should also be released shortly. Another notable addition is a CSS 2.1 profile. If you are writing stylesheets using the CSS 2.1 (working draft) specification, you can now specify the profile using one of the "advanced" interfaces of the CSS validator. Note that since CSS2.1 is still under work in the W3C recommendation track, it is not the default profile against which the CSS validator will check your content. A large number of bugs are also fixed in this version. The list (62 bugs!) would be too long to give here, so here is a pointer, from our Bug database: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product=CSSValidator&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&chfieldfrom=2005-06-01&chfieldto=2005-09-15 Congratulations to Jean-Guilhem Rouel who, under the supervision and with the help of Yves Lafon, is the one to thank for all these new features and bug fixes. Bravo! Thanks, also, to all the users of the CSS validator who had provided the feedback and bug reports. This public list ( www-validator-css@w3.org ) and the W3C public bug database ( http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/ ) are two of the feedback channels we encourage you to use. The source for the CSS validator, like all of our validation/qa tools, is available, and we invite all developers wishing to participate in its development to contact the Team through this mailing-list.
