DITA OT release 1.4.3Release 1.4.3 is a maintenance release and is intended to be the last released based
fully on DITA 1.1.
It contains a significant amount of preview function for the upcoming DITA 1.2 standard,
but the DITA 1.2 document types must be specifically referenced in order to use this
capability.
Major Updates
The PDF codebase switched from the older deprecated code to the plugin previously
known as PDF2. Running a build with the transform type PDF or PDF2 will now run the new
code. To continue using the older code, set your transform type to "legacypdf".
The PDF plugin now runs with FOP, as well as with the latest version of Saxon.
The Full Easy Install package now ships with Saxon 9B instead of with Xalan, and code
in the DITA-OT package has been updated to work with Saxon 9B.
The Full Easy Install package updates the versions of many open source libraries
(including Ant and FOP)
