Dear All, The W3C Link Checker [1] and W3C Markup Validation Service [2] (a.k.a HTML Validator) have both received a maintenance update today. Both tools are open source software available for download, and available as free online services from W3C: * Link Checker v4.3 [1] online http://validator.w3.org/checklink documentation http://validator.w3.org/docs/checklink.html download http://search.cpan.org/dist/W3C-LinkChecker/ * Markup Validator v0.7.3 [2] online http://validator.w3.org/ documentation http://validator.w3.org/docs/ download http://validator.w3.org/source/ ** Changelog - Markup Validator v0.7.3 ** Version 0.7.3 of the W3C Markup Validation Service is a maintenance release of the popular "HTML Validator" from W3C. This new version includes a number of bug fixes, improvements to usability and feedback, and updates in supported document types and character encodings. Of interest to developers is the addition of a public API, similar to the ones already available for the CSS Validator and Feed Validator at W3C.

The mailing-list www-validator is the promary discussion channel for users and contributors of the Markup Validator and Link Checker. Please make sure to search the archives before sending in a new idea or request, as a courtesy to the many readers of the list. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/ Bug reports and patches can be sent to the public W3C Bugzilla database. Usual bug reporting guidelines apply - make sure your bug is a bug, make sure it is not yet known, and give precise and complete information to reproduce. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/ And finally, many thanks to everyone who constantly helps make these tools better: developers (with special thanks to Ville Sk˙tta for these two releases), authors of documentation, users who sent bug reports, and a great community of users here on www-validator. For a very incomplete list: http://validator.w3.org/about.html#credits Thanks to all. Stay tuned to this mailing-list and to the W3C QA Weblog (http:// www.w3.org/QA/) for upcoming news, and feel free to forward this announcement to relevant forums.
