Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook XSL 1.79.2 released
Stefan,

 

The dbxslversion PI on this version still says "snapshot" not 
"1.79.2". 

 

Is that part of the release process that got missed in the conversion to 
github?

 

 

Regards,

Dean Nelson

I'm 
  proud to announce the availability of the 1.79.2 release of the
DocBook XSL 
  stylesheets.

While this is a minor release only (with no new feature 
  additions), it
is a major milestone anyhow, which we have been working 
  towards for a
year: We have migrated the source repository from 
  subversion
(sourceforge.net) to git (github.com), with all the 
  associated
infrastructure (from issue tracking to continued 
  integration).

While there are no new features in this release, there 
  are a few
user-visible changes to note:

* Packages will no longer be 
  available from sourceforge.net, but rather
from http://cdn.docbook.org/. 
  (Specifically, the new release files can
be found in 
  https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets/releases)

* Online 
  stylesheets are also served from http://cdn.docbook.org/, 
  e.g.
http://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsl/1.79.2/

* As before, we 
  provide two sets of stylesheets, with and without
namespace support (for 
  DocBook versions >=5, as well as for DocBook
versions 4). However, 
  instead of using the special suffix "ns" to
identify the namespace-enabled 
  stylesheets, we now use "nons" to refer
to the stylesheets without 
  namespace support. This implies that the
"docbook-xsl-<version>" 
  packages (as well as the online stylesheets 
  at
http://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsl/) refer to the 
  namespace-enabled
stylesheets !

Any other changes are accidental 
  and likely due to bugs, and should be
reported 
  (https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets/issues).

With this 
  important milestone reached, we can now concentrate our effort
on bug fixes 
  and feature additions that flow into the next major release
(1.80) sometime 
  in the (hopefully not so distant) future.

Best,

    
      Stefan
