Dear all, A new version of the W3C Markup Validator was released today. online http://validator.w3.org/ documentation http://validator.w3.org/docs/ download http://validator.w3.org/source/ Version 0.8.1 of the W3C Markup Validation service (a.k.a "HTML Validator" if you are old skool) is a bug fix release of the popular service, building upon the recent 0.8.0 major release, and fixing a number of issues discovered in the past couple of weeks: * the xml-well-formedness checking engine was made more processor and badwidth efficient * we fixed some bogus error about HTML/XML named entities (such as ©) * there were reports of a (rare) case of crashing the validator when called with some browser setups: this should not happen any longer. Along with this bug fixes were a number of code cleanup and performance fixes. Changelog: http://validator.w3.org/whatsnew.html Many thanks to those who have helped with this release, by reporting bugs, suggesting fixes or documentation tweaks, or provided patches. ** Send Feedback - Get Involved ** The markup Validator is one of the many open source software projects created and maintained at W3C: your participation in sending feedback and ideas, patches and bug reports helps build better tools.
