DITA OT release 1.4.2

Release 1.4.2 is a maintenance release to fix defects and make patches based on release 1.4.1.

Release 1.4.2 comes in three versions:

  1. Minimal package contains only the core processing code.
  2. Standard package contains the core processing code, plus demos, documentation, and samples.
  3. Full "easy install" package contains the standard package plus external libraries useful for many toolkit processes (such as Xalan and ANT), plus a batch file to setup a local environment.
