[publican-list] Publican 2.2 Released

[Jeffrey Fearn]

Hi everybody! Publican 2.2 has been release! Brew and Koji builds have 
been started so updates will be coming to a repo near you.

I'd like to give a shout out to all the Fedora users, please become 
familiar with the updates testing process and add some karma to bodhi so 
we can get updates out to the main repositories sooner! Rudi will be 
following up with links to the bohdi jobs.

There are a couple of new technologies in 2.2 that are basically tech 
previews, OPDS support and man page output.

Man page support is pretty raw and untested, but without a preview it's 
unlikely to get tested robustly, so we are shipping it as is.

OPDS support is fully functional, but the final decision on how to 
segment content has not been been made. We believe the current layout is 
workable and definitely good enough for people to use it, and hopefully 
the feedback we receive from it's use will help us nail down the final 
structure.

OPDS support has lead to some changes to the web database and relocation 
of some settings from the home page publican.cfg file to the site.cfg 
file. If you are running your own site here are the changes you need to 
apply:

$ sqlite3 <path/to/site>.db

ALTER TABLE main.books ADD COLUMN subtitle text;
ALTER TABLE main.books ADD COLUMN abstract text;
drop table settings;

The settings that have moved from the home page publican.cfg to the 
site.cfg are:

1: def_lang, same format and name.
2: web_search, same format, renamed to search.
3: web_host, same format, renamed to host.

Also there is a new site config value, title, which replaces 
'Documentation' on the main index, TOC, and Sitemap files.
