_____________________________________________________________________________________
List of major issues resolved in this update (from the "readme"):
1. (Ref? 1838069): Type?ahead functionality of Control key shortcuts (Ctrl+0 to
Ctrl+9) does not work. However the following are the changes from legacy
behavior (which are not fixed) :
2274062
Search in type?ahead area doesn't auto?start if the next chars match
with another
tag name
2273267
When focus is on type?ahead area, with a tag displayed in it, clicking
in the document
applies that displayed tag. So, one should use ?ESC? key to exit from
the status
bar?s type?ahead area.
2. (Ref? 1884451): When the starting letter is pressed the fly?out menu of the
status bar applies the value automatically if there is a SINGLE entry
3. (Ref ? 2252804): Inability to control index "see" characteristics with DITA
indexterms
The user shall now be able to configure the following things about the index
see & see?also features of DITA v1.1:
? The text that shall be used for DITA index see/see?also keywords. By default
it shall be ?See? and ? See Also? respectively.
? The character format to be used for displaying DITA index see/see?also text.
By default it shall be ?Emphasis? for both.
These can be configured by using the following entries in the ditafm.ini file:
SeeString=See
SeeAlsoString=See Also
SeeCharFmt=Emphasis
SeeAlsoCharFmt=Emphasis
Earlier these strings & the character formats were imposed by FrameMaker
itself. The user had no mechanism to modify these at the time of importing a
DITA document.
4. (Ref ? 2248303): Dita val filter is not working correctly if we have
conditional text applied on some elements
Following issues related to DITA filtering feature have been identified & fixed
corresponding to this bug:
? DITAVAL filter incorrect for "Gen Compound FM document" with a tag (in Show)
applied to a content to be filtered.
? DITAVAL filter incorrect for "Gen FM book with FM components" with a tag (in
Show) applied to a content to be filtered.
? DITAVAL filter incorrect for "Gen Compound FM document" with a tag (in Hide)
applied to a content NOT to be filtered.
5. (Ref? 2268619): Save As CMYK PDF ? imported PDFs are rendered as RGB
previews only.
6. (Ref? 2273344 :) FrameMaker crashes if a wrong file name is given in browse
dialog while inserting a new topicref (using element catalog) in a Map/BookMap
file.
7. (Ref? 1930191 :) The Para designer panel gets updated even when it is in
minimized mode.
8. (Ref ? 2253035): Incorrect messages appear in XML Schema Log while using
German Locale.
9. (Ref ? 2251492 ) :Graphics imported by copy are getting dropped in CMYK PDF
if ConvertGraphicsToEPS flag is On in maker.ini and a RGB PDF is created before
creating the PDF.
10. (Ref ? 2284304) : File?>preferences?>interface? > Hide Panel on Close
,should be checked OFF by default.
This preference was ON by default in 9.0 making the panels stay open in the
background resulting in slow speed of the system. Now with this fix, the
make.ini in the installation directory will have "HidePanelsOnClose=Off" entry.
Pls. note that if old maker.ini is already present in the user area, one needs
to manually make "HidePanelsOnClose=Off" in it. If no maker.ini is present in
user area, FrameMaker will create one on the first launch automatically
