Enhancements:

New DocBook 5.1 assembly output format. For example, running w2x -o assembly mydoc.docx out/mydoc.xml
generates in the out/ directory DocBook 5.1 assembly file mydoc.xml and also all the topic files referenced by this assembly.
w2x-app:
- On Linux, FlatLaf and its light theme (called "FlatLight") is now used as the default Look & Feel. This is needed because on Linux, the “system” Look & Feel (called "Metal") looks rather outdated.
  If, for any reason, you prefer to use the “system” Look & Feel, please start w2x-app by running
  w2x-app -putpref lookAndFeelClassName fallback
  This setting is done once for all. If after doing that, you finally prefer to revert to FlatLaf, simply run
  w2x-app -putpref lookAndFeelClassName
- The setup assistant (AKA the “wizard” style dialog box) now supports the DocBook 5.1 topic and DocBook 5.1 assembly output formats.
Upgraded XMLmind Web Help Compiler (whc for short) to version 3.1.
XMLmind Word To XML, which passed all non-regression tests, is now officially supported on Java™ 14 platforms.

XMLmind Word To XML can automatically convert DOCX files to:

Clean, styled, valid HTML (single page or multi-page HTML, Web Help, EPUB) looking very much like the source DOCX file.
Unstyled, but structured and valid, DITA bookmap, map, topic, DocBook, XHTML (single page or multi-page HTML, Web Help, EPUB) or XML conforming to your custom schema.
