EPUBCheck 4.2.0 RC published: Check EPUBCheck!

The DAISY Consortium has just delivered today the Release Candidate of EPUBCheck 4.2.0. It brings complete support to the latest specification of EPUB: EPUB 3.2.

EPUB 3.2 is the a sound and reliable specification of the EPUB 3 standard, massively used in the digital publishing industry. The EPUB3 Community Group has published it as a CG report. Beyond full compatibility with EPUB 3.0.1 and better specification document structure, EPUB 3.2 opens a full Web standards support for content.

As without EPUBCheck, no EPUB distribution can be reliably done along the digital supply chain (see No EPUBCheck, no EPUB! post here), we at the Publishing Business Group strongly encourage distributors and retailers to verify the usability of this 4.2.0 RC.
