[publican-list] Publican packager heads up for 3.2.0

[Jeff Fearn]

Hi, Publican 3.2.0 is well under way, 51 bugs completed so far, and I thought I'd give the packages out there a heads-up about dependency changes for 3.2.0.

We expect the release date to be around July 29th depending on progress of QE.
  

1: cdata support (BZ #958343) requires an updated XML-TreeBuilder package

http://search.cpan.org/~jfearn/XML-TreeBuilder-4.3/

NOTE: There are more changes coming for XML::TreeBuilder related to BZ #963994, unsure of the timing of that due to opening up new upstream communication channels for other deps, so 963994 and the asscoaited changes may not make the 3.2.0 release.



2: case insensitive names for syntax highlighting (BZ #919474) requires a patch for Syntax-Highlight-Engine-Kate

https://github.com/szabgab/Syntax-Highlight-Engine-Kate/pull/7



3: titles out of sync in page header (BZ #912550) requires a patch for wkhtmltopdf

http://jfearn.fedorapeople.org/wkhtmltopdf/

This is based off wkhtmltopdf-0.10.0_rc2.tar.bz2, and the order the patches are applied is:

short-anchors.patch
notocintoc.patch
align-page-header.patch

For those who would like an rpm you can rebuild the srpm:

http://jfearn.fedorapeople.org/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf-0.10.0_rc2-8.el6.src.rpm

Note: this package has the epoch set so it will not be updated by the shipped wkhtmltopdf packages on Fedora.


All of these changes are compatible with Publican 3.1.5 so they can be updated before 3.2.0 ships. 3.2.0 should work fine without those updated deps, it just won't have those specific issues addressed.


If you want to keep an eye on the development you can view the Changes file in the devel branch in your browser [1]. We keep it updated as we push fixes in to the repo.

Cider time!

Cheers, Jeff.
