                *** NOTE: new home page and ftp site ***
 .
Weblint 1.017 is now available:

http://www.cre.canon.co.uk/~neilb/weblint

ftp://ftp.cre.canon.co.uk/pub/weblint/weblint-1.017.tar.gz

 .
Weblint is a syntax and minimal style checker for HTML: a Perl script which
picks fluff off HTML pages, much in the same way traditional lint picks fluff
off C programs.
 .
This is probably the last release before weblint 2.000, which will require
Perl 5. Suggestions and ideas for weblint 2.000 would be appreciated.
 .
Changes are summarized below, see the ChangeLog file in the distribution for
more detail.
 .
Thanks to those who contributed to this release,
neilb
 .
                        Changes in Weblint 1.017
 .
    *   Added support for missing values of ALIGN for the IMG element with
        Netscape enabled: TEXTTOP, ABSMIDDLE, BASELINE, ABSBOTTOM.
 .
    *   Weblint now won't generate warnings for attributes of unknown elements
 .
    *   You now get multiple warnings if '>' occurs multiple times,
        where it should be represted as >.
 .
    *   Fixed the problem where warnings about use of literal '>' would
        often give the wrong line number.
 .
    *   Re-organized the weblint web pages, and added a page with information
        on supported platforms: Unix, NT, Mac, OS/2.
 .
    *   Added links to new weblint gateways, including a Japanese gateway.
 .
    *   I had accidentally deleted the section in weblintrc for things added
        in the 1.015 release. I put them back.
