How to use this errata.

  1. The order of the errata duplicates the order of the JDF 1.8 specification.

  2. Chapter headings are included for convenience only (to allow for an entry in the Table of Contents on this page).

  3. Each errata item is bounded by horizontal rule lines.

  4. If an errata affects multiple pages then it will be ordered by the first page it affects and all the revisions for the errata will be kept together in a single section.

  5. Each errata item is comprised of left and right columns where

    1. The left column contains the details, explanation, location and JIRA reference.

    2. The right column contains the revised content.

  6. Each errata will have a link to the JIRA entry that describes the issue in detail.

JIRA status value

The JIRA link is 'live'! It contains the current status of the issue.
If this entry has a value of IMPLEMENTED then it is complete and will be incorporated into the next version of the specification.
All other values, such as TSC VERIFY or SPECIFICATION mean that the entry is still in the process of being constructed and MAY change before being finally implemented.

Revised content format

The revised content is NOT formatted in the same manner as the specification due to editing restrictions of this wiki.
