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!
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
* New translations: Croatian (hr) (Robert Sedak), Japanese (ja)
(Mitsuru Oka)
* Updated translations: Albanian (sq) (Laurent Dhima), Serbian
(sr.po, ***@Latn.po) (Danilo ?egan), nl (Daniel van Eeden), Czech
(cs) (Miloslav Trmac), Greek (el) ( Kostas Papadimas), German
(de) (Christian Neumair), Croatian (hr) (Robert Sedak)
* Added preliminary support for the TEI Lite format (Roberto
Rosselli Del Turco)
* Big fix of XML namespace handling. Dispspecs now refer to
elements using a namespace URI (if any) and the local name
within that namespace. Element-matching code now uses namespaces
rather than prefixes in various places, including the XSL-FO and
RELAX NG plugins, which should lead to more robust handling of
arbitrary documents. (me)
* When determining which dispspec to use, calculate coverage of
the document elements and pick the best (above a certain
threshold percentage) (me)
* New dialog for selecting which child element to insert when a
DTD requires such a choice. The new dialog lists both the XML
names and the translated names with icons where available (me)
* Added a workaround for bug #124507 which pops up a dialog
explaining what the problem is and tells you which elements are
causing it. The problem elements will not appear in the editor
widget. The dialog repeats every time the document is editor,
but this is better behaviour than a silent crash :-) (me)
Fixes
* Reorganised source tree so that the xds files live in their own
"dispspecs" subdirectory, rather than sharing the "examples"
folder with the sample instance documents (Geert Stappers)
* Tidying up of plugin management code to use Service IDs to
identify instances and GType to identify classes (me)
* Big warning fix, should now compile cleanly on "-Wall -Werror"
(me)
* Big cleanup of the insides of the popup context menu, replacing
lots of obcure hackery with a more maintainable system. (me)
