DITA-OT Release 1.5.4
Note: while the DITA Standard itself is owned and developed by OASIS, the DITA Open Toolkit is an independent, open sourceimplementation of the standard.
DITA-OT 1.5.4 is a point release based on version 1.2 of the DITA Standard. The 1.5.4 release took place as a series of 3 week iterations, with each iteration ending in a Milestone build available for testing. The final 1.5.4 version was released December 15, 2011.
For full description of new features and fixed bugs, see 1.5.4 release notes.

Arbortext and the OT Part 2
It's time for the next installment of the DITA OT in the Arbortext Monster Garage.
In the first session on Arbortext and the DITA OT (last month), shop coach Mark Giffin from Mark Giffin Consulting, Inc., explained the basics of how Arbortext works with the DITA Open Toolkit.
Java coding practices in the DITA-OT
The core developers on the DITA Open Toolkit generally try to keep several coding practices and design patterns in mind when adding to the toolkit's Java code. If you are interested in digging around in the DITA Open Toolkit, or in contributing Java patches back to the core toolkit, you may want to keep these practices in mind.
