+ <para>This release is a minor bug-fix update to the 1.69.0

+ configuration-parameter change: The default value of the
+ <parameter>annotation.support</parameter> parameter is now
+ <literal>0</literal> (off). The reason for that change is that
+ there have been reports that <tag>annotation</tag> handling is
+ causing a significant performance degradation in processing of
+ large documents with <command>xsltproc</command>.</para>
