Release

(0.7.13)
The 0.7.13 Release

2004-05-20

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 now requires GTK+ version 2.4.0 or later. We use the new file chooser dialog by default, and hope to make use of the other good stuff as we work towards the 0.8 release.

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

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this release; my apologies if I missed anyone from the credits below.

Enhancements

• Implementation of Find and Replace, adapted from GEdit (Nickolay V. Shmyrev)
  
• Added a Convert to Comment/Convert from Comment feature to the popup context menu (Dave Malcolm)
  
• Added the beginnings of a plugin to view the document with a CSS stylesheet, using Dodji Seketeli's Sewfox library (Dave Malcolm)

• Big improvements to namespace handling code, including adding namespace support to attribute editing (Johannes Hölzl)

• Added stubbed plugins for AbiWord, HTML and TEI support. Began work on a "View RELAX NG in compact form" plugin. (Dave Malcolm)
  
• Finished implementating the "node tools" category of plugin; they now appear in the context menus and work; some simple examples implemented. (Dave Malcolm)
  
• Added item to debug menu to dump plugin information into an XML file (Dave Malcolm)
  
• Various packaging improvements (Geert Stappers)
  
• Big rewrite of DTD->RELAX NG importer: now has a struct to handle options; inlines elements where it can to give a Russian Doll-style schema; adds a <start> element (Dave Malcolm)
  
• Added a Properties dialog for the first span element (if any) when right-clicking in text areas. (Dave Malcolm)
  
• Improvements to internal API support for DTDs, with new utility functions (finding cross-referencing of elements within DTD content models, guessing likely start elements, etc) (Dave Malcolm)
  
• Building from CVS now requires the use of the flags: -Wall -Werror; various warnings fixed as a result of this (Dave Malcolm)
  
• Cancelling the addition of required children elements now works properly, with enhancements to the internal API for modifying the document. See bug #135865 for details. (Nickolay V. Shmyrev)
