ℹ️ Note

EPUBCheck v4.2.6 reverts two checks recently introduced in v4.2.5. Only users who were negatively impacted by these two checks have to update their setup to EPUBCheck v4.2.6. For others, EPUBCheck v4.2.6 will behave exactly like EPUBCheck v4.2.5. We always advise users update to the latest version, but we understand that you may like to avoid the overhead of updating your production systems at shorter intervals.

Release Notes

This is a production-ready release of EPUBCheck. It provides complete support for checking conformance to the EPUB 3.2 family of specifications.

Version 4.2.6 is a maintenance release, which reverts two checks recently introduced in v4.2.5. In this newer version:

  • the role property can now refine creator, contributor, and publisher properties more than once
  • Media Overlays no longer have to match the reading order of the associated Content Documents

Reverting these checks is a proactive adoption of the rules that will be relaxed in EPUB 3.3, as the stricter checks recently introduced were problematic to some users.

This release was made by the DAISY Consortium for the W3C. Many thanks to everyone who contributed and reported issues!

This EPUBCheck version is also available in the Maven Central Repository as org.w3c:epubcheck:4.2.6.

Features
