          <title>Configuration file for defaults</title>
          <p>In previous versions, <filepath>lib/configuration.properties</filepath> was generated
            by integration process. Integration has been changed to generate
              <filepath>lib/org.dita.dost.platform/plugin.properties</filepath> and the role of the
            old <filepath>lib/configuration.properties</filepath> has been changed to contain
            defaults and configuration options, such as default language.</p>
        </section><section>
        <title>Plug-in extension point for file extension configuration</title>
          <p>New plug-in extension points have been added allow configuring DITA-OT behaviour based
            on file extensions.</p>

      </section><section>
          <title>Strict integration mode</title>
          <p>Two modes have been added to integration process: lax and strict. In strict mode the
            processing will fail if any errors are encountered. In lax mode an error message may be
            thrown for an error and the integration process will try to run to the end, even if
            there are errors that were unrecoverable. The default mode is lax.</p>
          <note>In lax mode, even if the process runs to the end and reports a successful result,
            DITA-OT may not be able to function correctly because of e.g. corrupted plug-in files or
            unprocessed template files.</note>

          <title>Code reference charset support</title>
          <p>Encoding of the code reference target file can be set using the <codeph>format</codeph>
            attribute, for example </p>
          <codeblock xml:space="preserve">&lt;coderef href="unicode.txt" format="txt; charset=UTF-8"/&gt; </codeblock>
        </section><section>
          <title>Plugin URI scheme</title>
          <p>Support for <keyword>plugin</keyword> URI scheme has been added to XSLT stylesheets.
            Plug-ins can refer to files in other plug-ins without hard coding relative paths, for
            example </p>
          <codeblock xml:space="preserve">&lt;xsl:import href="plugin:org.dita.pdf2:xsl/fo/topic2fo_1.0.xsl"/&gt;</codeblock>

          <title>PDF</title>
          <p>Support for mirrored page layout has been added. The default is the unmirrored
            layout.</p>
          <p>The <codeph>args.bookmap-order</codeph> property has been added to control how front
            and back matter are processed in bookmaps. The default is to reorder the frontmatter
            content as in previous releases.</p>
          <p>A new extension point has been added to add mappings to the PDF configuration catalog
            file.</p>

          <p>Support for the following languages has been added:</p>
          <ul><li>Finnish</li><li>Hebrew</li><li>Romanian</li><li>Russian</li><li>Swedish</li></ul>
          <p>PDF processing no longer copies images or generates XSL FO to output directory.
          Instead, the temporary directory is used for all temporary files and source images are
          read directly from source directory. The legacy processing model can be enabled by setting
            <codeph>org.dita.pdf2.use-out-temp</codeph> to <codeph>true</codeph> in configuration
          properties; support for the legacy processing model may be removed in future releases.</p>
          <p>Support for FrameMaker index syntax has been disabled by default. To enable FrameMaker
            index syntax, set <codeph>org.dita.pdf2.index.frame-markup</codeph> to <codeph>true</codeph> in
            configuration properties.</p>
          <p>A configuration option has been added to disable I18N font processing and use
            stylesheet defined fonts. To disable I18N font processing, set
              <codeph>org.dita.pdf2.i18n.enabled</codeph> to <codeph>false</codeph> in configuration
            properties</p>

          <p>The <codeph>print_transtypes</codeph> property in <filepath>integrator.properties</filepath> has been deprecated in favor of <codeph>dita.transtype.print</codeph> plug-in extension point.</p>
          <p>The <codeph>dita.plugin.org.dita.*.dir</codeph> properties have been changed to point
            to DITA-OT base directory.</p>
        </section><section><title>PDF</title><p>Support for mirrored page layout was added and the following
            XSLT configuration variables have been
            deprecated:</p><ul id="ul_hkv_oyj_bd"><li><codeph>page-margin-left</codeph></li><li><codeph>page-margin-right</codeph></li></ul>

              <codeph>fileProfilePrefix</codeph> have been removed in favor of
              <codeph>customizationDir.url</codeph> parameter.</p>
          <p>A new shell stylesheet has been added for FOP and other shell stylesheets have also
            been revised. Plug-ins which have their own shell stylesheets for PDF processing should
            make sure all required stylesheets are imported.</p>
          <p>Font family definitions in stylesheets have been changed from Sans, Serif, and
          Monospaced to sans-serif, serif, and monospace, respectively. The I18N font processing
          still uses the old logical names and aliases are used to map the new names to old ones. </p></section></refbody></reference>
