+ <dd>
+ <p>
+ The 0.8.6 release of the markup validator is an enhancement and
+ bugfix release. Changes include:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Removed feature: the "fuzzy matching" feature introduced in
+ 0.8.5 has been removed because it produced too many confusing
+ and invalid suggestions.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Removed feature: the proprietary XML output option has been
+ removed (finally, it was supposed to be gone already in 2006).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Enhancement: improved error handling and diagnostics for problems
+ occurred when decoding Content-Encodings, when cleaning up
+ markup with Tidy, and when interpreting non-document errors from
+ the HTML5 validator.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Enhancement: recognition of more (non-recommended) aliases for
+ various character encodings.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Enhancement: the document outline feature is
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6748">now
+ available for invalid documents</a> as well, and its layout
+ has been improved.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Enhancement: a
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7399">direct
+ link for validating an error page</a> has been added to the
+ "this document can not be checked" error page.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Enhancement: updated
+ <a href="http://qa-dev.w3.org/unicorn/">Unicorn</a> output.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Enhancement: several updates to validator's internal DTD library
+ and catalog, most notably switching to use/reuse more modular DTDs
+ rather than flat ones than before.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Enhancement: validator can now be configured to do file based
+ caching of its templates, resulting in noticeable performance
+ improvement in non-mod_perl environments.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fix:
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5132">full
+ document doctype was incorrectly in effect</a> when validating
+ a document fragment wrapped in a doctype template.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fix: recommended
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6573">system
+ identifier for XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0 documents</a> was
+ incorrect.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fix: HTML5 validator error messages were
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6302">doubly
+ escaped</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fix: direct input whenout overriding doctype or charset
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6747">passed
+ an invalid Content-Type header</a> to the HTML5 validator.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fix:
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7592">"wide
+ characters"</a> in Tidy's output caused an error which prevented
+ the whole Tidy output from being displayed.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fix: there were
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7000">several
+ errors in the JSON output</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fix: the description for missing xmlns errors contained
+ an example for XHTML documents that was
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6995">not
+ valid XHTML 1.1</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fix: bad DC terms namespace prefix in the XHTML+RDFa "badge"
+ example code.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fix: the state of the "validate error pages", verbosity,
+ error grouping, and "clean up with Tidy" options were not always
+ preserved.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fix: several issues in error message locators in shown
+ source snippets as well as showing the actual portion of a
+ line with errors on it have been fixed.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fix: HTTP responses
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6678">containing
+ lines longer than 4k bytes</a> could not be processed.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Dependency changes: new dependency: JSON >= 2.00; new minimum
+ required versions: libwww-perl 5.802, Config-General 2.32,
+ SGML-Parser-OpenSP 0.991; String-Approx is no longer required.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ … and a whole slew of minor spelling, code cleanup, server error
+ log warning trash, minor performance and the like fixes here and
+ there. Kudos to
+ <a href="http://perltidy.sourceforge.net/">perltidy</a> and
+ <a href="http://www.perlcritic.org/">perlcritic</a> for many of
+ these.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
