| 19980615 (15 June 1998) | ||

| 1.3 | Inheritance | Fixed the declarations to include an omitted BODY rule, the lack of which was making some of the statements invalid; also changed color values of dark green to more obvious colors, based on user feedback that the specific dark green in use was too difficult to distinguish from black. |
