DITA Open Toolkit Version 1.5.2

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. 

Version 1.5.2 of the DITA Open Toolkit will be a point release based on version 1.2 of the DITA Standard. The release date for 1.5.2 is tentatively planned for late 2010, to coincide with the expected final approval of DITA 1.2 as a Public Standard.

Work on DITA-OT 1.5.2  is currently under way. Development of 1.5.2 will take place as a series of 3-week iterations. Each iteration will end with a milestone release available under the DITA-OT Latest Test Build heading at the DITA-OT download page on SourceForge.
