Some mistake, surely?
I didn't see that you had attached a diff, but it doesn't matter. I confirmed what you are saying. As soon as I saw 6.3-rc2 at the top, I knew what you were saying was correct. I cannot explain it. I think it has something to do with the modifications made to the Makefile a few months ago. These changes had to do with not validating the book if there were no changes and going straight to rendering. I used the same directory as the rc2 release, and didn't delete the rc2 version of the single-page HTML file. I simply ran 'make all' after I completed all the changes for the rc3 version. 'make all' creates chunked and nochunked HTML and also a PDF version. Something doesn't work correctly with 'make all'. The date of the file looked correct, but obviously something went seriously wrong with the rendering. The chunked HTML was ok, and I had to re-render the PDF (using 'make pdf') due to some long lines that I had to correct. So it has something to do with 'make all' or the fact that it didn't properly overwrite the existing file. As I said, I can't explain it. Seems the Makefile should remove any existing file before it attempts to create a new one. Anyway, I removed the existing file and ran 'make nochunks' just now and it rendered properly. I'll upload the corrected file to the server as soon as I get a chance.
