[publican-list] RFC: Publican 4.2 changes

[Jeff Fearn]

Hi, some of the more interesting changes in Publican 4.2 can be seen at [1]. Now is the time to give feedback on them, particularly the cross browser video changes & HTML5 style update.

Note: many of these changes will only be available for DocBook5 books. Might be time to update!

Important: Publican has shipped the `db4-2-db5` tool for sometime, you might want to give it a run on test branch of your book. Don't forget to switch to a db5 brand as well.

Warning: Many changes have been made to the underlying common-db5 brand, so it your db5 brand is based off of that you may want to test with the updated common-db5. See: "Running publican from a GIT checkout" [2]. (but
use common-db5 eh).

Cheers, Jeff.
