- `dblatex` supports the new option `-T target_style`. It specifies which latex style to use for formatting the output. See this section for more details.

- The configure script can select the default latex style to use with the option `--target`. Example:

        ./configure --prefix=/where/to/install --target=db2latex

- The use of `make` instead of `gmake` is now detected by configure.

- Any document language should be well supported, since babel is now included for the related language.

- New table support, completely re-written by David Hedley. It is very good and no Perl parsing is needed. One can use this new XSL table code by setting the parameter newtbl.use=1.

- The following XSL parameters are added:

  latex.babel.use

    Set to 1 the babel package corresponding to the document language is included. Set to 0 no babel package is included whatever the document language is. Default is 1.

  latex.babel.language

    Empty by default, this parameter forces the use of the specified babel language whatever the document language is.

  newtbl.use

    Set to 1, use the David Hedley table support. By default it is set to 0.

  figure.note

    Figure to use to render a `note` block. This parameter is added to allow new latex styles to use their own figures in admonitions.

  figure.tip

    Figure to use to render a `tip` block. This parameter is added to allow new latex styles to use their own figures in admonitions.

  figure.important

    Figure to use to render a `important` block. This parameter is added to allow new latex styles to use their own figures in admonitions.

  figure.warning

    Figure to use to render a `warning` block. This parameter is added to allow new latex styles to use their own figures in admonitions.

  figure.caution

    Figure to use to render a `caution` block. This parameter is added to allow new latex styles to use their own figures in admonitions.

- XML source files with any extension are correctly handled. Previously one needed to give XML files with extension .xml.

- Better `footnote` support: it can be used in section titles and in `term`s.

- Some latex rendering aspects are removed from the XSL stylesheets (they should never have been in these stylesheets): \parindent value, \parskip value, \thispagestyle{fancy} for pages containing chapters.

- Bug fixes.
