## Release 0.3.8

This release fixes some bugs and contains some new features.

- Add the endnotes feature: the `footnote`s can be turned to be end notes in the printed document. Some parameters are added to configure the endnotes display.

- Add an XML configuration file format: it replaces the simple text configuration format. It gives a more consistent setup and more possibilities to configure dblatex, like overriding the commands used to convert images.

- Add the parameter `figure.default.align` to change the default `figure` and `informalfigure` alignment.

- Add a workaround to fix a Xindy bug appearing when ranges of an index overlap.

- Add a workaround to fix the incompatibilities between Xindy and the new hyperref when hyperindex is on.

- Add the possibility to build a document from a tex file that includes other tex files.

- Allow a `segmentedlist` to be formatted as a table if the parameter `segmentedlist.as.table` is set to '1' or if the `<?list-presentation?>` Processing Instruction is set to 'table' (Karl O. Pinc patch). Other PIs can be used if a segmentedlist is formatted as a table.

- Internal refactoring of Processing Instructions.

- Add a 'pdfscan.py' script to find out the fonts and their size used in a PDF file, and find out how the PDF is built.

- Fix some bugs:

  - Fix a bug when passing a dialect language (e.g. '[5.2]Lua') to `programlisting`.

  - Link the 'nn' lang to 'norwegian' for Xindy.

  - Fix the alignment of `imagedata`> that is now handled even without an explicit viewport.

  - Take into account the `caption`> align attribute.

  - Fix `seealso` in `indexterm`.

  - Fix a bug about ordered lists that loose their counter in `informaltable`s.

  - Put the `dedication`s in the book front matter (was in the body matter).

  - Add the `table.continue.caption` parameter to fix the hardcoded 'continued' caption used for tables covering several pages (Ricard Mones patch).

  - Fix SF bug #102: the figure paths used in windows.

  - Fix SF bug #111: adapt the file paths used in windows by saxon or xsltproc.

  - Fix dbk_locale.sty to be an ASCII file.

  - Correctly strip spaces for docbook 5 elements.
