| History</H2> |
|
| Version 0.90 add a lot of new stuff, tree dump, RDF encoding/decoding, |
|
| and should fix all the known bugs. |
|
| |
|
| <P>Version 0.85 is a maintenance release. Bug fix + portability are the |
|
| targets. There is experimental code for dumping the installation tree. |
|
| |
|
| <P>Version 0.80 add site map, per-directory browsing and faster execution |
|
| on large sites. A subdir directive has been added for config files to select |
|
| the HTML output directory per distribution (it's better to use it instead |
|
| of dir with a full path). |
|
| |
|
| <P>Version 0.70 integrated Changelog (Gary Thomas), ability to add new |
|
| headers, removal of nasty memory bugs, spell checking improvements, etc. |
|
| |
|
| <P>Version 0.60 limits the size of HTML files by splitting big one in multiple |
|
| chunks. |
|
| |
|
| <P>Version 0.50 add recursion in RPM storage, and Spanish language support. |
|
| |
|
| <P>Version 0.40 add multi architecture support, help rendering of big tables, |
|
| and correct bugs, of course! |
|
| |
|
| <P>Version 0.30 add navigation links on top of pages and correct a few |
|
| bugs. |
|
| |
|
| <P>Version 0.25 clean up the mess with config files and add proper support |
|
| for multiple architectures. <B>NOTE: some of the configuration name semantic |
|
| have changed, you need to reedit them</B> (especially <B>url</B> and <B>mirror</B> |
|
| fields). <B>Read the PRINCIPLES file</B> in the distribution to learn more |
|
| about rpm2html algorithms and how to configure your config file(s). |
|
| |
|
| <P>Version 0.20 Added features are colorization, localization and possibility |
|
| to dump the actual installed base of RPM on the local machine. |
