Changelog for
w3c-markup-validator-1.1-1.2.noarch.rpm :
Thu Aug 19 14:00:00 2010 pgajdosAATTsuse.cz
- updated to version 1.1:
* Enhancement: XML wellformedness check is now run only if
other stages of the validation process report no errors.
This is to further mitigate a performance issue related
to the XML wellformedness check.
* Enhancement: improved error output performance.
* Enhancement: error/warning location information now
makes it clearer whether the error occurred in the validated
document or an external resource related to it.
* Enhancement: improved heuristics for incomplete input URLs.
* … and as usual, assorted minor spelling, code cleanup, link
and the like fixes.
- changes in version 1.0:
* Enhancement: when passing its internal transcoded document
to external validators, validator now reflects the
transcoding by modifying character encoding information
included in the passed document.
* Enhancement: updates to validator\'s internal DTD library.
* Enhancement: XML wellformedness check now supports external
entities instead of just suppressing error messages about
them internally. As a side effect, this should work around
a specific case of a certain performance problem with
XML::LibXML 1.70.
* Bug fix: doctype override could place a malformed comment
in the modified document.
* Bug fix: error messages were not properly HTML escaped when
\"show source\" was selected.
* Dependency changes: new minimum required versions:
HTML-Parser 3.60, XML-LibXML 1.70.
* … and a whole slew of minor spelling, code cleanup, link
and the like fixes here and there.

- added validator-opensuse-addons-ap_sroot.patch
o now it can be build for other dists, not just openSUSE
o moved installdir for w3c-markup-validator
from apache_docroot to apache_serverroot
while used alias(w3c-validator) is different from
installdir(w3c-markup-validator), directly browsing
to apache_docroot and entering validator dir, the check does
not work and will confuse user ;)
- some rpmlint stuff

- 0.8.5 release:
The 0.8.5 release of the markup validator is a feature and bugfix
release. Changes include:
- UI fix: many of our users were confused by the behaviour of the
\"More options\" arrow. A small UI change should make the user
experience less confusing.
- New Feature: fuzzy matching used to suggest corrected markup.
Analysis of many invalid pages shows that the most common error
comes from invalid (typo or non standard) elements and attributes
used. The new feature
(http://www.w3.org/blog/systeam/2009/02/16/validator_fuzzy_match)
will help by suggesting possible (valid) alternatives.
- Bug Fix: issues with SVG
(http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6524)
were creating very large log output when validating SVG documents.
The validator code has been amended to limit this log flood.
- Bug Fix: the HTML5 validator integration broke some of the
validator\'s “document type override” functionalities in version
0.8.4. This is fixed in 0.8.5.
- New: the validator icon code, which one can add to web pages,
now includes XHTML+RDFa
(http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=65252)
when applicable.
- Bug Fix / New: implementing XML::LibXML Structured Errors
(http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6329).
The validator uses libxml2 and the XML::LibXML for well-formedness
check. Recent versions of the perl library had bugs that made in
backard-incompatible, causing the validator to not output all
well-formedness errors reliably. Some code was added to the
validator to work with all future versions of that library,
but we recommend not using XML::LibXML between versions
1.67 and 1.69 inclusive
(see how (http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6329#c15)).
- Experimental: validation of SVG documents is now passed to the
validator.nu engine. At the time of this release, neither
validator.nu nor the DTD engine previously used are perfect for
the validation of SVG, but the technologies used in the
validator.nu engine (nvdl and relaxNG) makes it more promising.
- UI Fix: accessibility improvements for screen readers.
- Documentation: updated the Why Validate? (docs/why.html) document.
- Usability: the way in which the validator has to handle direct
input and character encodings
(http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6259)
has long been confusing to many. Improvements have been made
that explain in clearer ways what
the validator does.
- New: the validator now recommends to declare character encoding
in the document itself, especially if there is a chance that the
document will be read from or saved to disk, CD, etc -
in accordance with internationalization recommendations
(http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/#Slide0250).

- 0.8.4 release:
0.8.4 may sound like a very minor step from the version 0.8.3
released in August, but this new release of the W3C Markup Validator
brings some very important change:
in addition to checking documents against etablished standards such
as HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0, the validator can now check documents
for conformance to HTML5 (http://www.w3.org/html/), thanks to the
integration with the Validator.nu (http://about.validator.nu/)
html5 engine.
HTML5 is still work in progress and support for this next generation
of the publishing language of the World Wide Web will remain
experimental, but this integration should provide experimentation
grounds for those interested in trying on authoring in this new
version of html, as well as a feedback channel for the group
working on building a stable, open standard.
Other bug fixes and improvement in this version include:
- Bug Fix: version 0.8.3 came with a programming mistake that would
not affect validation, but would flood the validator servers\'
logs with warnings.
- Bug Fix - Document type support. A Typo in the machine-readable
grammar published with the latest specification for XHTML1.1
caused spurrious validation errors when checking documents
against XHTML1.1. Fixing the typo
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-cvs/2008Nov/0029.html)
solves the issue. Another fixed typo
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-cvs/2008Aug/0018.html)
now makes the validation against the historical
HTML i18n document type functional.
- Documentation updates and fixes: the installation documentation
used a misspelled option for the installation of the OpenSP
parser. The correction should make installation of the validator
a little easier. Also relevant to installing the validator, the
sample validator configuration now includes a documentation of
environment variables
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-cvs/2008Nov/0008.html)
affecting connectivity.

- Update validator and sgml-libs to stable release version 0.8.3:
The 0.8.3 release of the W3C Markup Validator is a bug fix release,
with a few small additional features.
Changes include:
- Bug Fix: in version 0.8.2, revalidation of an uploaded file was
broken (missing markup in the HTML form)
- Updates: Added support for XHTML Basic 1.1, XHTML Mobile Profiles
(1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) and the historical HTML i18n
- Bug Fix: the validator won\'t override a given document type with
itself
- Conformance: The validator now warns about inconsistent
public/system identifiers combinations
- API: The custom HTTP headers in validator responses now also
include the number of warnings
- Experimental Feature: added the new option to send specific
\'Accept-Charset\' and \'User-Agent\' headers, in addition to
\'Accept\' and \'Accept-Language\' in version 0.8.2.
- Experimental Feature: the validator can output its results
as JSON.
- Documentation: Some documentation updates
- Development: New automated support and regression test suite

- Update validator and sgml-libs to stable release version 0.8.2:
The 0.8.2 release of the W3C Markup Validator is a bug fix,
performance and usability release, addressing the following issues:
- Bug Fix: processing of documents through HTML Tidy would be
triggered even when not requested.
The fix should provide a noticeable performance boost.
- Bug Fix: forcing or overriding the Doctype declaration would
not work with documents using an XML Declaration Bug 857 -
DOCTYPE Override should take XML Decl into account,
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=857).
The fix should make it much easier to validate e.g. SVG documents.
- Bug Fix: Making sure that the validator requests a fresh version
of the online resources, when an older cached version could be
returned. (Bug 4998 - Validator sometimes uses cached content
(cache-control header on requests would be useful),
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4998).
- Usability: when using file upload or direct input modes, the
result page will now include a text area filled with the
validated source, for easy fixing and revalidation
(Bug 4342 - Revalidation form for Upload and Direct Input,
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4342).
- Accessibility: the main interface was made friendlier to
screen readers (Bug 4959 - screen reader reads contents of
entire form, http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4959).
- Experimental Feature: new options were added to trigger Format
(http://validator.w3.org/docs/users.html#option-accept)
and Language negotiation
(http://validator.w3.org/docs/users.html#option-accept-language).
- New Feature: automatic detection of the document type for SVG
documents, even without a DOCTYPE declaration.
Validation of SVG only supported for standalone SVG documents,
up to SVG 1.1.
- Documentation updates.

- Update validator and sgml-libs to stable release version 0.8.1:
The 0.8.1 release of the W3C Markup Validator is a bug fix
release, addressing the following issues:
- Bug Fix: changed set up of parser responsible for checking XML
well-formedness, which would retrieve schemas for entities
each time the validator would run.
- Bug Fix: the validator would incorrectly complain about HTML/XML
named entities (such as ©).
- Bug Fix: fixing referer checking
when running with Apache and mod_perl2.
- Bug Fix: the validator would crash when called from browsers
with rare language preference settings
- ... and small performance and code cleanup fixes.
