Manual 1.6.1 released

[Alex Cabal]

This is a minor version number change but an important release,
especially for our long-time contributors.

This release removes the last vestiges of unsemantic classes in favor of
z3998/se semantic vocabulary.

Of note:

- `<abbr class="time">` has been removed. Time abbreviations now have no
class or semantics.

- The little-used `<abbr class="state">` and `<abbr class="timezone">`
have been removed. You can use `z3998:place` instead of `state`.

- `<abbr class="postal">` has been replaced with `<abbr
epub:type="z3998:place">`.

- `<abbr class="degree">` has been replaced with `<abbr
epub:type="z3998:name-title">`.

- `<abbr class="initialism">` and `<abbr class="acronym">` have been
replaced with `<abbr epub:type="z3998:initialism">` and `<abbr
epub:type="z3998:acronym">`.

- `<abbr class="name">` has been replaced with the corresponding z3998
vocabulary items. `z3998:personal-name` is the high-level semantic for
all names of people. More specifically, `z3998:given-name` is for first
names. There are several other options but those are the ones you'll be
using most often. Examples:

<abbr epub:type="z3998:given-name">H. P.</abbr> Lovecraft

Sincerely, <abbr epub:type="z3998:personal-name">J. K. R.</abbr>

Your friend, <abbr epub:type="z3998:surname">D.</abbr>

- `<abbr class="temperature">`, `<abbr class="era">`, and "<abbr
class="compass">` have been replaced with the corresponding SE
vocabulary items. E.g., `<abbr epub:type='se:temperature">C</abbr>`

The only remaining use for classes is for unsemantic SE styles, like
`together`, `elision`, `full-page`, etc.

Very timely, as I’m finalizing An American Tragedy.

I made the various changes, but lint now complains about almost all of the abbreviations with either a s-045 and/or t-032. The t-032’s are on postals that end a sentence, “John Doe, Franklin, TN.”

[Alex Cabal]

You can ignore that for now. The new version of the tools, not yet
released, will deal with those correctly.

This all makes sense. How about class=“eoc”?

I think we'll leave that as a class, as it's more of a functional
internal label and I don't know if it's meaningful enough to call it a
semantic. Maybe TEI has some semantic label for them, but we aren't
including TEI-style semantics like for nouns, verbs, phrases, etc.
