H2: Enhancements

The documentation now includes a draft version of an overview paper
called {{DOC:The SDF Document Development System}}. This is
recommended reading for all SDF users.

For [[Mincom]] users, Mincom-style title pages can now be generated
for technical documents. To do this, initialise the {{VAR:OPT_LOOK}}
variable using the {{MAC:init}} macro on the top line of the document
like this:

E:   !init OPT_LOOK='mincom'

{{CMD:sdf}}'s -k option can also be used to override the default look.
For example:

E:   sdf -2ps -kmincom mydoc.sdf

The {{DOC:SDF Reference}} has been improved - most of the filters and
macros now have a description and an example.

The {{MAC:build_title}} macro now outputs the date the document was
last modified when the target is HTML.

Section jumps across documents are now supported via the {{doc}}
phrase attribute. For example:

!block example; pure
See {{SECT[doc='SDF User Guide'] Event Processing}}
in the {{DOC:SDF User Guide}} for further details.
!endblock

The default {{target}} for the {{FILT:inline}} filter is now {{html}}.

The {{FILT:namevalues}} filter can now be used to specify a table of
names and values. This is useful at the top of QSD procedures, etc.

The search order for figure importing into PostScript documents is
now eps, pct, gif and finally bmp.

H2: Fixes

Under certain circumstances, figure importing into [[PostScript]]
documents was broken by the previous version. It should now be
working again.

Tables with titles no longer cause blank pages to be appended to the
end of the document. This was a [FrameMaker]] 5.0 bug which I now
workaround by producing "simple" titles. As a result, table titles
are no longer repeated when a table crosses a page boundary.

{{Encapsulated PostScript}} figures output by {{PRD:Visio}} are now
correctly sized.

URLs in [[PostScript]] documents are no longer blue.

A large number of bugs in the QSD templates have been fixed. These had
been introduced by the upgrade from [[FrameMaker]] to version 5.

The {{MAC:build_title}} macro (as implemented in the {{plain}} library)
no longer outputs a page break after the {{Document control}} stuff.

Change bars no longer cause example text (e.g. source code) to be badly
formatted in HTML.

H2: Incompatibilities

None.
