> over the coming month, I, Romain Deltour and Thomas Ledoux will be working on pushing the next version of EpubCheck out. This will include a programmatically accessible report interface as in Thomas' patch (which will include version info). After this is completed we will assess whether there is a need for (more) getters and such, but the expectation is that the report interface will suffice.
