EPUBCheck 4.1.1

This is a maintenance release of EPUBCheck, the conformance validator for EPUB publications. It mostly consists of bug fixes and updated localized messages.

EPUBCheck 4.1.1 is the latest production-ready release of EPUBCheck.

This release was made by the DAISY Consortium, for the W3C.

Many thanks to the various people who contributed to this release, notably the team of translators including Elisa Molinari, Emiliano Molina, Gregorio Pellegrino, Masayoshi Takahashi, Merijn de Haen, Thiago de Oliveira Pereira, Vincent Gros, Woongyoung Park… and especially Tobias Fischer, who has been coordinating the translation contributions!

Note: This release is part of the 4.1.x stable stream, which checks conformance to the EPUB 3.0.1 family of specifications. It does not include support for the newer EPUB 3.2 specifications. For a preview of EPUB 3.2 conformance checking, feel free to try the latest release in the 4.2.x beta stream (currently v4.2.0-alpha-1)!
