Conglomerate 0.7.15 (original) (raw)

Conglomerate 0.7.15 ("Teenage Kicks") Released

Conglomerate is a free, user-friendly XML editor. It is particularly aimed at DocBook, but should be able to handle any XML document type.

This is still an unstable release; there are still some known repeatable crash bugs. Please download it and test that no new bugs have been introduced!

Conglomerate requires GTK+ version 2.4.0 or later

You can download it from the usual place: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82766

Enhancements * Conglomerate now has rudimentary spell-checking, using the enchant library. It highlights misspelt words by underlining them. Spell-checking can be disabled for certain elements in the dispspec as appropriate; for example the DocBook element disables spellchecking. (David Malcolm) (Jeff Martin) * Hybrid documents should work much better (e.g. where you embed fragments of one document type e.g. XHTML within another document type) . Conglomerate no longer needs to have a dispspec, and the notion of a document-level dispspec is now merely a default. The elements within a dispspec are now required to all be in the same XML namespace (or in none), allowing various simplifications and improvements in document type detection. (David Malcolm) * The popup menu now allows you to add arbitrary XML elements (David Malcolm) (Jeff Martin) * Dispspecs with namespaces now store typical prefix strings for those namespaces, so that when Conglomerate needs to autogenerate a namespace, it can name it something sane like "xhtml" or "xsl" as appropriate. (David Malcolm) * Added internal hooks for stylesheet parameters; added callbacks to create option widgets for exporters and importers; added dummy Paper Size options for the PDF and XSL:FO exporters (David Malcolm) * "Unknown elements" in the main editor view now have disclosure triangles for their children; improvements and simplifications to the layout code of the main editor widget (Nickolay V. Shmyrev) * Namespace URIs and attributes now appear in the main editing view for unknown elements. (David Malcolm) * Added support for CDATA sections, generalising text editing code where necessary to support these (and some comment editing support where it seemed appropriate) (David Malcolm) * The status bar now shows the XPath of the selected node (David Malcolm) * Attribute editing now supports NMTOKEN attributes. (Douglas Burke) * Improvements to the parser error dialog: it now uses selection/single-click rather than double-click for moving between the parser errors, and highlight the line containing the error when an error is selected. (David Malcolm) * Newly-created documents have their source cleaned, rather than appearing on a single line. Various infrastructure improvements towards the ultimate goal of having Conglomerate autodetect the whitespace settings of a document and making fresh edits conform to it. (David Malcolm) * Improvements to feedback and error-handling of transform dialogs (Douglas Burke) * Gained a big speedup by disabling some overzealous internal self-testing. (David Malcolm)

Fixes * Ported to the GtkUIManager API (David Malcolm) (Douglas Burke) * Dispspec files should now be set up for translation (Nickolay V. Shmyrev) * Ask for confirmation when replacing an existing file bug # 154844 (Nickolay V. Shmyrev) * Various improvements to the API documentation (Nickolay V. Shmyrev) * Fixes to use URIs rather than paths in more places, partially fixing bug # 145422 ; improvements to command-line parsing. (Nickolay V. Shmyrev) * Enumerations are now edited using GtkComboBox rather than GtkOptionMenu, and are now set to the attribute value on creation, rather than being left at "(unspecified)" (if the attribute is actually set). Various other GtkOptionMenus ported to GtkComboBox. (Douglas Burke) * Fixes for newline characters in when in a whitespace-preserving element (part of bug # 108404 ) (Douglas Burke) * Fix to namespace handling within the Random Document plugin ( bug # 153358 ) (David Malcolm) * Added hacks to ensure that Glade and XSL files appear in file chooser (David Malcolm) * Ensure new DocBook files are valid ( bug # 149307 bug # 149305 bug # 148117 ) (Geert Stappers) * The node-properties dialog window now displays the properties of the parent node if sent a CONG_NODE_TYPE_TEXT node. This is to allow editing the attributes of nodes marked as span by the display specification for the document type. (Douglas Burke) * Edit->Preferences dialog now closes properly (Keith Sharp) ; a crash bug has been fixed, and now has a Plugins tab. The dispspec list has been changed from a two-column name/description list to a single column with the titles presented in a different style. (David Malcolm) * Removed the experimental FO code since it never worked. (David Malcolm) * The Dialog of Doom that appears when bug # 124507 is about to bite you now only appears once per document, rather than continuously popping up as the error recurs. (David Malcolm) * Improvement to validation dialog: the icon used when there is an error is now different than when the document validates. (Douglas Burke) * Fix to Conglomerate's desktop file bug # 151845 (Stephane Loeuillet) * Various other fixes and cleanups (removal of dead code, fixes for various memory leaks, i18n work, improvements to the example files, fixes to the dispspec DTD and to some dispspecs etc). (David Malcolm) (Geert Stappers) (Jeff Martin) (Michele Garoche) (Douglas Burke) (Nickolay V. Shmyrev)
