The June 2026 GovInfo release included 106 individually tracked changes. Highlighted features included a new Annual Reports derived collection which enables search and browse functionality for agency annual reports that are published in various collections such as the Congressional Serial Set collection and the Congressionally Mandated Reports collection. Also included in this release was initial functionality to support server-side transformed XML files ahead of major browsers' deprecation of XSLT 1.0 as well as foundational work for a new user interface for the internal GovInfo content management system and preservation repository. There were also security patches and component upgrades, design improvements, collection and system enhancements, bug fixes, and more.

Over 55,000 content packages (roughly equivalent to one bound printed document) were made available from April 1 to June 30.

Annual Reports Collection Derived

GPO is excited to share the availability of the new derived collection of Annual Reports, which are reports produced by Federal agencies and other entities of the U.S. Government to document performance, financial, and program activities of the preceding year. To enable easy navigation and searchability of Annual Reports within GovInfo, this compilation of related publications was built from packages across several collections and can be browsed or searched.

Prototype XHTML Rendition in Bills Collection for Browser XSLT Deprecation

Major browsers have announced plans to deprecate in-browser support for XSLT 1.0. As a result, prior to November 2026, the earliest known deprecation date for this in-browser functionality, the GovInfo team will provide access to a new server-side transformed XHTML rendition for impacted collections. The new XHTML rendition will be made available in addition to the existing unformatted XML rendition. Essentially, GovInfo will perform the same transformation a browser would perform, but the transformation will be done on a GovInfo server before the file is rendered in a browser. During this release, the team deployed a prototype XHTML rendition in the Congressional Bills collection. The XHTML is currently available on the Congressional Bills collection Content Details pages and through the GovInfo API, and it will be added to search results and browse in an upcoming release. For more information including impacted collections and to follow our progress, please see .

America’s 250th Anniversary

On July 4, 2026, the United States celebrated its 250th anniversary. This milestone marked two and a half centuries since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It offered Americans an opportunity to reflect on the nation’s history, its progress, and the values that shaped its founding. To recognize this historic occasion, the GovInfo team added a special “America 250” banner to the GovInfo homepage and published a commemorative feature article. The article highlighted the semiquincentennial and directed users to related collections, historical documents, and resources available on GovInfo and from other Federal websites. The article supported public engagement with primary source materials that tell the story of the nation’s early years and its ongoing democratic institutions.
