SVG 1.1 (Second Edition) – 22 June 2010

Appendix Q: Changes

Contents

This appendix is informative, not normative.

This appendix summarizes the changes from SVG 1.1 First Edition.

Q.1 Stylistic changes

A number of stylistic changes have been made to the specification to make it more readable. These include the following:

Q.2 Incorporation of errata

All of the SVG 1.1 proposed errata available at http://www.w3.org/2003/01/REC-SVG11-20030114-errata have been incorporated into the Second Edition. While some of these errata have not been incorporated verbatim due to various stylistic changes that have been made in the Second Edition, the underlying issues that resulted in these errata have still been fixed. For example, the "Incorrect entries in the attribute index" erratum specifies corrections to the Attribute Index appendix. However, the Second Edition presents the attribute index somewhat differently from the First Edition, so while the exact erratum changes have not been applied, the attribute index in the Second Edition is indeed free of the errors that were addressed by the erratum.
