I'm trying to upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5 (because I was really happy to see your
fix to list steps). Unfortunately, we've customized our interface and the
customization mechanism seems to have changed.
Our customizations are in three files that I replace in the DITA plugin:
common.imp, topic.css, and map.css.
The customizations are pretty simple, for example, I have the following text
in the map.css for the DITA plugin:
@property-value open-file()
command-button(icon, square,
color, blue
command, "XXE.open",
parameter, xpath("resolve-uri(@href)"));
This lets me open files in my ditamaps directly. I have something similar in
the topic.css that lets me open files from my cross-references directly. This
is functionality that is present in every other word processing tool for
technical writers that I have ever used. When I was introduced to XMLMind, it
was by someone whose department had also customized XMLMind in the same way.
I can't migrate to the new version without this functionality. Can you tell me
how you changed the customization mechanism so I can get it to work with the
new version? This functionality was user-visible to me, because I was using it.
If it isn't in your changes file, then it's an oversight.

I'm sorry but:

only describes user-visible changes.

--> In XXE, ".imp" is a file extension used for *CSS* modules.
The DITA add-on has all its CSS files in:
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/dita/css/
AND
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/dita/css_classed/
For performance reasons, these folders contains large, flat, CSS files
(topic.css, map.css, bookmap.css). Note that these folders contained the very
same files in v5.1.
--> In XXE, ".incl" is a file extension used for XXE configuration modules.
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/dita/ contains a file called "common.incl".

This cannot be a problem. In terms of contents of the distribution (i.e.
files), Personal Edition (discontinued since v5.4)/Evaluation
Edition/Profession Edition are strictly identical.
