We talked about doing a 4.2 release asap, so I've put together a first stab at the release. It's available, though not publically linked to, at

http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/sgml/4.2b0/

and

http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2b0/

The 4.2 spec is

http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/docbook-4.2b0.html

We'll need to coordinate a release of the XML Character Entities with this release because I've removed them from the 4.2 XML distribution.

Comments, etc. most welcome.

FWIW, here's dtddiff output for DocBook XML 4.1.2 and 4.2b0:

And Bob Stayton has run 4.2b0 through LiveDTD:

And you can also browse the hypertext version of the 4.2b0 XML DTD that I created with LiveDTD and posted on my website at:

http://www.sagehill.net/livedtd/docbook42/

Or you can download the collection of HTML files for local browsing (which is usually much faster since the html files are kind of big):

http://www.sagehill.net/livedtd/docbook42.zip

That site also has DocBook XML 4.1.2 for comparison, and a description of how LiveDTD works. It makes reviewing changes like these much easier.
