These are the release notes for the DocBook XSL Stylesheets. This file documents (mostly) changes to the public APIs. What, exactly, counts as a public API is still somewhat in question, but it includes at least the global parameters.
Release 1.50.0
This release introduces a new version numbering scheme. Version numbers are now three part: major.middle.minor. Changes to the middle version number indicate a change in the public API. Changes in only the minor number indicate simply a new release.
The generate.*.toc and generate.*.lot parameters have been replaced by a single structured parameter, generate.toc.
It's likely that the HTML and FO stylesheets do not handle ToC generation in exactly the same way, but they should.
Added strip-attributes.xsl to the profiling stylesheets. This allows one to strip off, for example, profiling attributes after a document has been profiled.
Improved numeration of footnotes and table footnotes. Made table footnotes render “properly” in FOs.
Added a formal.title.placement parameter, allowing users to select placement of formal object titles either above or below the object.
Improved control over delimiters for TeX equations.
Support classsynopsis and friends in FOs.
Changed HTML stylesheets to use em instead of i for emphasis.
Added chunk.quietly parameter.
Improved profiling code to support the full range of profiling attributes and to support one-pass profiling (if your XSLT processor understands the EXSLT node-set function.
