Conglomerate 0.7.12

Application

Conglomerate 0.7.12

Description

Conglomerate is an XML editor for GNOME, aiming to be as
user-friendly as possible, to help non-technical people to use
DocBook and similar formats.

Enhancements

  • New translations: Croatian (hr) (Robert Sedak), Japanese (ja)
    (Mitsuru Oka)
  • Updated translations: Albanian (sq) (Laurent Dhima), Serbian
    (sr.po, sr@Latn.po) (Danilo egan),
    nl (Daniel van Eeden), Czech (cs) (Miloslav Trmac), Greek (el) (
    Kostas Papadimas), German (de) (Christian Neumair), Croatian (hr)
    (Robert Sedak)
  • Added preliminary support for the TEI Lite format (Roberto
    Rosselli Del Turco)
  • Big fix of XML namespace handling. Dispspecs now refer to
    elements using a namespace URI (if any) and the local name within
    that namespace. Element-matching code now uses namespaces rather
    than prefixes in various places, including the XSL-FO and RELAX NG
    plugins, which should lead to more robust handling of arbitrary
    documents. (me)
  • When determining which dispspec to use, calculate coverage of
    the document elements and pick the best (above a certain threshold
    percentage) (me)
  • New dialog for selecting which child element to insert when a
    DTD requires such a choice. The new dialog lists both the XML names
    and the translated names with icons where available (me)
  • Added a workaround for bug #124507 which pops up a dialog
    explaining what the problem is and tells you which elements are
    causing it. The problem elements will not appear in the editor
    widget. The dialog repeats every time the document is editor, but
    this is better behaviour than a silent crash 🙂 (me)

Fixes

  • Reorganised source tree so that the xds files live in their own
    “dispspecs” subdirectory, rather than sharing the “examples” folder
    with the sample instance documents (Geert Stappers)
  • Tidying up of plugin management code to use Service IDs to
    identify instances and GType to identify classes (me)
  • Big warning fix, should now compile cleanly on “-Wall -Werror”
    (me)
  • Big cleanup of the insides of the popup context menu, replacing
    lots of obcure hackery with a more maintainable system. (me)
