"At some point real soon now, we're going to have to declare V5.0 “feature complete”. Sooner rather than later, I hope. ¶"
"Content Model Interoperability is centered around enabling all or part of one standard's content model to be included as part of another standard. For example, DITA's specialization capabilities could be employed to create custom topic types for DocBook sections or refentries (in a DITA-like way). Conversely, DocBook's DTDs are designed to create customizations on top of the core content model."

The is mainly a bug-fix release, but it includes a few feature changes.
Norm Walsh provides DocBook V5.0b7 at http://norman.walsh.name/2006/07/28/docbook50b7.
This is the seventh test release of DocBook V5.0.
"All MySQL documentation, even the manual pages, internal help tables, and all of the various formats we generate, come from a single source using the standard DocBook XML format. Every destination format but one (CHM) are then built using open source tools. Using a single source for all of this information is obviously a massive benefit, but it is not entirely without its own problems. DocBook XML is great, but there are certain areas where we have had to tweak the format and work around bugs. When it comes to outputting information in specific formats, there are even more issues to consider."
"The DocBook Technical Committee has published the third Candidate Release of DocBook V4.5. We really, really expect this one to go out for balloting as an OASIS Standard."
"Product development, marketing, PR, support, design, programming, etc — it’s all the same thing. We don’t put time aside for PR or time aside for design or time aside for tech support. We’re always doing all of these things. They are all part of the same thing: building products we love to build."

The DocBook Technical Committee has published the fifth test release of DocBook V5.0.
"Sarma is a live, over-the-web documentation editor supporting DocBook imports and exports, per-unit (paragraph, title, figure, ...) revision control and handling, and WYSIWYG interface to make editing docs a natural process: you view it and edit it right away. It's written by DaniloSegan as his Google SummerOfCode project."
DocBook specialization made easy by Jiří Kosek at http://xmlguru.cz/2006/03/easy-docbook-specialization.
"Comparison of XML schema for narrative documents is aimed at helping you to choose between DITA, XHTML, Docbook and BNML (Elkera). But as it underscores the weaknesses and danger of each kind of markup, it allow to better use the one you have choosen, maybe for other reasons."
"The DocBook Technical Committee has published the third test release of DocBook V5.0. Something for you to do on my winter vacation: test, test, test."
Norman Walsh
The DocBook Technical Committee has published the second test release of DocBook V5.0.
Go Norm!
. My idea is to create recent changes lists in RSS for DocBook documents automatically by using an XML-aware version control system
and an extension of the DocBook XSL Stylesheets that will output an recent changes feed with links to the relevant changed parts of the document." from http://weblogs.goshaky.com/weblogs/page/lars?entry=rss_in_documentation
