Epubcheck 5.2 is giving an error for an email link. The same EPUB shows no error in epubcheck 5.1.

ERROR(RSC-007): Referenced resource "mailto:[address]@[school].edu" could not be found in the EPUB.

Is there another step needed now to properly include an email link?

    Thanks for the report!
    Sounds like a regression bug, possibly introduced by #1582.

    I’ll try to reproduce and fix in the next maintenance release.

    If it's helpful at all, I just came across this bug as well in multiple EPUB files while running my standard regression test for Kobo EPUBCheck integration. This causes EPUBs that previously validated with no errors in versions 4.2.6, 5.0.1, and 5.1.0 to throw validation errors.

    I was about to create a new issue of this too. I get the same error with the version 5.2.0 but not with version 5.1.0. Hope it will be fixed asap before more and more people start to use the 5.2.0 version.

    Dear @rdeltour,

    We have encountered the same issue with mailto: links in Epubcheck 5.2. Thank you for acknowledging the problem and your efforts to address it in the next maintenance release.

    Could you kindly share if there is an estimated timeline for the release? This information will help us plan accordingly on our end.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Best regards,
    Prithiviraj M

    We have encountered the same issue with mailto: links in Epubcheck 5.2. Thank you for acknowledging the problem and your efforts to address it in the next maintenance release.

    The "...@personnel.com" links, but I know for a fact that "mailto:marsh@innsmouth.net" is not a valid email link.

    Please check and update

    Thanks,
    Purushothaman M

    Thanks everyone for confirming the bug. I am able to reproduce it myself and will work on a fix ASAP.

    As for an estimated timeline, I can publish a patch release (v5.2.1) as soon as the bug is fixed.

    This is quite a serious bug (false positive) which is likely to impact a significant number of publications, so I believe it is worth releasing a patch release sooner rather than wait for the next regular maintenance release.

    I just came across this bug as well in multiple EPUB files while running my standard regression test for Kobo EPUBCheck integration.

    have you noticed any other issues in Kobo's regression tests? I'm trying to estimate if I can publish a patch ASAP or wait a little in case other regression bugs are detected.

    I haven't seen any other issues in our regression tests, everything else is the same!

    I just published v5.2.1, which fixes this regression bug.
    Thanks again to everyone who reported the issue and tested for regression issues!
