Hello folks,

At the last TC meeting, I took an action[1] to begin assembling a
DocBook V4.3 release. The first attempt at that release is V4.3b2
(you didn't miss it, there never was a b1 release).

You can get V4.3b2 from

   http://docbook.org/xml/4.3b2/

or

   http://docbook.org/sgml/4.3b2/

This release is experimental and has no normative standing.

The changes are summarized below. I think these are all the backwards
compatible changes approved by the TC since the 4.2 release, but I
haven't double-checked yet. (If you think I've missed something,
please let me know.)

- - Fix SDATA entity for euro
- - Related to RFE 514435: allow multiple refnamediv elements in refentry (2003 Jul)

- - RFE 570068: new values for pubwork (2003 Jan)
- - Added xrefstyle (2002 Dec)

I don't have an updated spec to publish yet, nor have I gone through
the SF RFEs to close the implemented ones, but I will.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
