   Subject: OpenJade 1.3 Released

   OpenJade is the DSSSL user community's open source implementation of
   DSSSL, Document Style Semantics and Specification Language, an ISO
   standard for rendering SGML and XML documents.

   OpenJade is based on James Clark's widely used Jade.

   OpenJade 1.3 is the second OpenJade release. 
   See below for a list of new features compared to OpenJade 1.2.2.

   You can download OpenJade from http://jade-cvs.avionitek.com.

   Changes in OpenJade 1.3

   * The SGML backend will no emit linebreaks when used as -t sgml-raw.

   * Jade can bind variables to arbitrary values on the command line. 

   * The prlabs1 module of the SGML property set is supported.

   * Style sheet extensions.dsl lists all known
   external procedures ready for easy inclusion
   as an external-specification.

   * External procedure with public identifier
   "UNREGISTERED::OpenJade//Procedure::expt"
   allows to form integral powers of quantities.

   * External procedure with public identifier
   "UNREGISTERED::OpenJade//Procedure::sgml-parse"
   allows to parse wrt. an architecture.

   * Jade supports force! for inherited characteristics.

   * Jade supports character properties.

   * Jade supports special-query-expressions.

   * Jade can bind variables to string values on the command line.

   * All standard color spaces supported. 

   * Jade ignores duplicate keywords in make expressions, as 
   mandated by DSSSL.

   * External procedure with public identifier
   "UNREGISTERED::OpenJade//Procedure::language"
   to create a language object by reference to a POSIX locale.

   * Language-dependent procedures of the expression language:
   language?, current-language, declare-default-language, 
   with-language, define-language, char<?, char>?, char<=?,
   char>=?, char-ci=?, char-ci<?, char-ci>?, char-ci<=?,
   char-ci>=?, char-upcase, char-downcase, string-ci=?,
   string-equiv?, string<?, string>?, string<=?, string>=?,
   string-ci<?, string-ci>?, string-ci<=?, string-ci>=?.

   * The style-sheet.dtd derived from the dsssl architecture
   has been extended (in a backwards compatible way) to
   include the delaration element type forms supported by
   Jade. The public identifier for the dtd is 

   "-//OpenJade//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN" 

   * char-repertoire, add-name-chars and add-separator-chars
   declaration element type forms are supported. When given
   the -s cmdline flag, Jade doesn't use its builtin 
   character repertoire.

   * Most of the derived procedures in the query language:
   current-root, node-list-reduce, node-list-contains?,
   node-list-remove-duplicates, node-list-union, 
   node-list-intersection, node-list-difference, 
   node-list-symmetric-difference, node-list-union-map,
   node-list-some?, node-list-every?, node-list-filter,
   node-list->list, node-list-tail, node-list-head,
   node-list-sublist, node-list-count, node-list-last,
   node-list-property, origin, origin-to-subnode-rel,
   tree-root, grove-root, source, subtree, subgrove,
   ancestors, grove-root-path, rsiblings, ipreced,
   ifollow, grove-before?, sort-in-tree-order, tree-before?,
   tree-before, property-lookup, select-by-property, 
   select-by-null-property, select-by-missing-property,
   attribute, referent, q-element, q-class, q-sdata.
