# W3C MarkUp Validator: Beta 3 #
-===================================================-
The W3C MarkUp Validator Team is pleased to announce the third Beta Release
of The W3C MarkUp Validator version 0.6.0. The following changes and new
features have been added since Beta 1:
* The error message when the configuration file is not found is now
much clearer.
* The XML Output is now much improved, and nominally at Beta status.
* Many spelling, captialization, and grammar fixes.
* The DOCTYPE override will now replace the orginal DOCTYPE instead
of always inserting it at the beginning fo the file.
* Sample code in output and documentation has been updated.
* More error messages now take into account whether file upload or
normal processing was done.
* Output layout has changed to adress usability concerns.
* Many POST requests are now redirected to a GETable URL when possible.
* Perl version 5.6.0 is now the minimum required version.
* The jump links in output are now context sensitive.
* We're now excruciatingly up fromt about SP's limitations with XML.
* More links to external resources (thanks to Liam Quinn and the WDG).
* We now allow the pedantically correct /referrer as well as /referer. :-)
* Many output-escaping fixes and entity reference related fixes.
* Properly escape URIs in result pages to avoid setting a bad example
(people were just blindly copying it instead of reading the specs).
* The documentation has been updated somewhat.
This also closes the following reported bugs:
