Change log as recorded in the README:
Version 1.2.0 [02/Jun/2011]
* support for the StartDoctypeDecl handler
* add parser:stop() to abort parsing inside a callback
* CLDR 2.0: The CLDR 2.0 release contains numerous improvements and bug fixes
approved by the CLDR committee, including much additional data for many
languages.
* Explicit parent locale support in data imported from CLDR.
* MessageFormat and related classes (choice/plural/select) have been
reimplemented, with several improvements and some incompatible changes.
* Extended PluralFormat pattern syntax supports explicit-value forms and
offsets.
* Utility APIs in PluralRules (get some/all/unique keyword values)
* Time zone API to return a list of available canonical system time zone IDs.
* Time zone API to return a region.
* Collation: Full implementation & public API for script reordering
* Dictionary-type trie
* GB18030-2005 update
Release highlights:
* The addition of an html5 backend to generate HTML 5 output. Apart from the
inclusion of audio and video block macros the html5 backend is functionally
identical to the xhtml11 backend.
* A new flask theme for xhtml11 and html5 backends inspired by the Flask
website styling (see toc2 example in the next item below).
* The new toc2 attribute generates a table of contents in the left hand
margin (xhtml11 and html5 backends).
* a2x(1) now has a flexible mechanism for copying arbitrary resource files
to HTML based outputs#-#this is very handy for generating EPUB files with
embedded fonts and other resources.
o The a2x(1) --resource option can be used to inject any file into
EPUB output documents e.g. CSS resources such as fonts and background images.
o Explicitly specified resources are added to the EPUB OPF manifest
automatically.
o You can explicitly specify file extension MIME types.
o The enhanced resource processing works around a couple of DocBook
XSL bugs (see EPUB Notes).
