r1.6.1
6e80713

1.6.1 contains an index cross-referencing tool, support for the LaTeX/HTML/SVG workflow, and several new small features and user interface improvements, as well as the latest versions of ebookmaker and the validators.

All bugs reported by 1st January 2024 have also been fixed.

As described in UPGRADE.md, all users should run install_cpan_modules.pl to ensure all necessary Perl modules are installed.

Users who have already utilized the Copy Settings From A Release and header_user.txt features should not need to manually copy across files or settings when upgrading to 1.6.1. If upgrading from a pre-1.5 release and you want to take advantage of these features to ease future upgrades, see the 1.5.0 release notes, the manual, or this forum post for more details.

For details of significant changes and bug fixes between releases, view CHANGELOG.md included with the release, or the more detailed Changelog on the Distributed Proofreaders wiki, which also has links to the relevant sections of the Guiguts Manual.
