Plans for DITA-OT 1.5

Plans for DITA Open Toolkit version 1.5

Note: while the DITA Standard itself is owned and developed by OASIS, the DITA Open Toolkit is an independent, open source implementation of the standard.

We currently anticipate that DITA-OT 1.5 will contain support for the DITA 1.2 specification. Development of 1.5 will be broken up into a series of iterations, with one or more DITA 1.2 item completed in each iteration. We will update the plans here as each iteration begins and ends. Each iteration will end with a milestone release available under the "test build" heading at the DITA-OT download page on SourceForge.

The original proposal for each OASIS DITA 1.2 Item is at ImplementationStatus1.2, although the items may be revised as they are added to the draft specification. The latest draft specification is available in DITA, CHM, or TOCJS format.

Items under development in the current iteration

Due to holiday schedules for the primary developers, Milestone 21 will be a smaller update, with an approximate release date of September 30. Due to the shorter development period, Milestone 21 will focus on small bug fixes and enhancements.

Items available in Milestone 20 (September 14, 2009)

Additional work is being completed on several PDF2 related items. For more information about PDF2, see Plans for the DITA Open Toolkit PDF2 Plug-in.

Items available in Milestone 19 (August 24, 2009)

Milestone 19 adds support for DITA 1.2 constraint validation into the conref processor. It also contains the following items from the SourceForge trackers:

Items available in Milestone 18 (August 3, 2009)

Milestone 18 completes the initial implementation of Delayed Conref for Eclipse output. It also contains the following fixes and enhancements:

Items available in Milestone 17 (July 10, 2009)

Milestone 17 contains an initial implementation of the DITA 1.2 "Delayed Conref Resolution" function. This function will be completed for Eclipse XHTML output in a future milestone. The milestone also includes several bug fixes from the SourceForge bug tracker:

Items available in Milestone 16 (June 23, 2009)

Milestone 16 completes the initial implementation of the OASIS DITA 1.2 Controlled Values File. In addition, it contains the following items:

Items available in Milestone 15 (May 27, 2009)

Milestone 15 includes support for filtering based on Controlled Values Files (a new map specialization that is part of DITA 1.2). In addition to that major new item, the Milestone contains the following updates from the SourceForge enhancement, patch, and bug trackers:

Items available in Milestone 14 (April 29, 2009)

Milestone 14 now uses the DITA 1.2 document types when processing, without the need to reference those document types directly. It also includes support for the processing-role attribute in maps, which is the most recent addition to DITA 1.2 and allows a map to reference topics that will not generate output with other topics.

Items available in Milestone 13 (April 9, 2009)

Milestone 13 includes an update to metadata cascading within maps; previously, metadata would cascade from topicref to topicref and into the referenced topic, but the temporary map was not re-saved with the cascaded values. This is now fixed, so that additional processing may be done on the map without having to re-implement the cascade logic.

Milestone 13 also fixes several bugs reported at SourceForge:

Items available in Milestone 12 (March 18, 2009)

Milestone 12 was released April 18, 2009. Due to delays in approval of DITA 1.2, and consequential delays in the 1.2 based DITA-OT 1.5, milestone 12 also released as the official an official release in the 1.4.* series: DITA-OT 1.4.3 Release

Milestone 12 includes the following updates over previous milestones:
