This release contains only a few new features and significant changes: A new element called surplus has been added to the Transcription module, originally proposed by SF ticket 2242434 Content models of char and glyph were changed to require figure rather than any model./graphicLike element (2812295) An attribute role is now provided by the att.naming class making it possible to distinguish the functions of the people assopciated with particular name in a source without the trouble of defining person elements for them (1954920) Following changes made to permit better documentation of constraints within an ODD, the element valList was changed from being a possible child of content to being a sibling of it.

Various minor clarifications and corrections were made to the wording of the Guidelines in response to Sourceforge tickets (e.g. 2881723, 2883950, 2813423 2877747, 2761884, 2863337, 2750513, 2820540, 2820541)
