  • 1.  [ANN] Publican 2 released

    Posted 07-07-2010 06:03
    Publican 2 is finally finished and released. The most significant update
    is the incorporation of the web-publishing component that was previously
    used stand-alone by Red Hat internally and, more recently, has been used
    by the Fedora Documentation Project to build the Fedora documentation
    suite.[0] With web publishing built in, Publican can handle the whole
    publication process from DocBook XML to a live website. The new feature
    is documented in a new chapter in the Users' Guide.[1]

    Apart from this major new feature, Publican 2 also includes fixes for
    several bugs; most notably: xrefs to various elements that didn't work,
    problems with <indexterms> for translators, and various presentation flaws.

    Publican 2 is not yet available as a Fedora update; however, you can
    download builds from the Fedora build system (Koji) for testing.[2]
    Publican 2 will become generally available in Fedora once it has
    accumulated enough Karma in the Fedora update system (Bodhi).[3]

    For users of other operating systems, the source tarball is available
    from Fedorahosted.[4]

    Cheers,
    Rudi
