Updated: asciidoc-8.5.2-1


A new version of the asciidoc package, asciidoc 8.5.2-1, is now available
for download, leaving 8.4.5-1 as previous.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release, with release notes listed below.  See also
the package documentation in /usr/share/doc/asciidoc/.

DESCRIPTION:
============
AsciiDoc is a text document format for writing short documents, articles,
books and UNIX man pages. AsciiDoc files can be translated to HTML and
DocBook markups using the asciidoc(1) command. AsciiDoc is highly
configurable: both the AsciiDoc source file syntax and the backend output
markups (which can be almost any type of SGML/XML markup) can be
customized and extended by the user.

UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'asciidoc' from
the 'Devel' category.

DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need to
find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you:

QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

       Inguaggiato).
     * Added header table style. See:
       [1]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/a23fea
       28394c8ca9
     * Pass icons, data-uri, imagesdir, iconsdir attributes to asciidoc
       table style filter so that images are rendered in table cells.
     * Pass trace and verbose attributes to asciidoc table style filter so
       diagnostic information is printed from table cell source.
     * The eval system attribute can be nested inside other system
       attributes.
     * HTML outputs: Table and figure caption punctuation set to more
       usual syntax.
     * docbook backend: footnotes can now contain embedded images. See
       [2]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/50b28f
       6941de111a
     * CSS tweaks so that tables processed by DocBook XSL Stylesheets have
       the default asciidoc xhtml11 backend styling. See
       [3]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/dfe520
       4d5b2c9685
     * Block titles take precedence over section titles to avoid titled
       delimited blocks being mistaken for two line section titles (see
       [4]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/f0b6f9
       989f828c3).
     * Section title trace displays level and title text.

     * Implemented auto-lettered appendix names and updated example
       documents.

       :numbered!: AttributeEntry.
     * xhtml11: Nicer default quote block styling.
     * Exclude floating titles from xhtml11 table of contents. Patch
       submitted by Mark Burton (see
       [5]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/14aefc
       1cb6bd85f5).
     * Enhanced doc/article-docinfo.xml example docinfo file.
     * Vim syntax highlighter improvements.

   Bug fixes
     * FIXED: Absolute imagesdir and iconsdir attribute path names do not
       work with the xhtml11 data-uri encoding. See
       [6]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/cb8b76
       94bbc82a6
     * FIXED: Regression issue with inline data-uri images. See
       [7]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/cb8b76
       94bbc82a6
     * FIXED: An unexpected error occurred when processing a table
       containing CSV data if the cols attribute was not explicitly
       specified. See
       [8]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/4b0f36

2. Version 8.5.1 (2009-10-31)

   Additions and changes
     * If an AsciiDoc document file begins with a UTF-8 BOM (byte order
       mark) then it is passed transparently through to the output file.
       The BOM is stripped from included files. See
       [9]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/e5e618
       23ff4203cd
     * Added AsciiDoc role attribute to quoted text. Sets class attribute
       in HTML outputs; role attribute in DocBook outputs. See:
       [10]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/2aa3e
       5711d243045
     * Conditional attribute syntax extended: they now accept multiple
       ORed or ANDed attribute names.
     * The xhtml11 backend dynamically processes footnotes using
       JavaScript.
     * Tidied up and namespaced xhtml11 JavaScript.
     * Superceded javascripts/toc.js with javascripts/asciidoc-xhtml11.js.
     * Added disable-javascript attribute (xhtml11 backend).
     * Styled HTML footnotes.
     * Added links to HTML footnote refs.
     * Added title attribute to inline image macros to display popup
       "tooltip" (HTML outputs only).
     * Single-quoted attribute values are substituted in block macros
       (just like the AttributeList element).
     * For consistency changed underscores to dashes in attribute names.
       Public attributes with underscores retained for compatibility.
     * Added Brazilian Portuguese language configuration file (contributed
       by Thiago Farina).
     * Added leveloffset attribute to make it easier to combine documents.

   Bug fixes
     * FIXED: a2x: --dblatex-opts is now processed last so
       asciidoc-dblatex.xsl params can be overridden. Patch submitted by
       Mark Fernandes (see
       [11]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/5215c
       99dcc865e7d).
     * FIXED: An error occurred if a directory in current path with same
       name as executable.

  2.1. Regression issues

   There's been quite a bit of tiding up to the xhtml11 JavaScript. The
   most obvious change is that the toc.js script has been superceded by
   asciidoc-xhtml11.js so if you're linking you'll need get a copy of the
   new file from the distribution javascripts directory.

   If you use customised xhtml11 configuration file [header] and [footer]
   sections and you want them to use the new footnotes feature then you've
   got a bit more work to do:
    1. The onload event expression changed.
    2. The new <div id="content">...</div> div envelopes document content.
    3. You need to add <div id="footnotes">...</div> div to the
       [footnotes] section for footnotes to work.
    4. Drop the ifdef::toc[] macro that surround JavaScript inclusion.

   Take a look at the [header] and [footer] changes in the xhtml11.conf
   diff to see what's going on:

   Additions and changes
     * Implemented a float attribute for tables and block images (HTML
       outputs only).
     * Added unfloat::[] block macro to cancel floating.
     * Added table align attribute to (HTML outputs only).
     * The image align attribute now works with HTML backends.
     * Renamed table cell align attribute to halign so it doesn't clash
       with the new table align attribute.
     * Added breakable and unbreakable options to AsciiDoc example and
       block image elements.
     * [miscellaneous] section entries now update properly when set from a
       document AttributeEntry.
     * [miscellaneous] section pagewidth entry accepts fractional values.
     * Fractional column widths are now calculated correctly when using
       fractional pageunits (DocBook tables).
     * Use DocBook XSL table width processing instructions.
     * asciidoc KeyboardInterrupt exits with error code 1.
     * Added set system attribute to allow attributes to be set from
       configuration file templates.
     * Allow constrained quotes to be bounded on the left by a colons and
       semicolons, see
       [13]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/b276a
       927fdc87995
     * Titled listing and literal blocks (DocBook outputs) no longer
       default to examples. See
       [14]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/f4df7
       c9eec01a9bd
     * Updated language file table, figure and example captions to
       accommodate new auto-numbering in html4 and xhtml11 backends.
     * Titled source highlight filter listings generated by docbook
       backend are now rendered as examples. See
       [15]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/f4df7
       c9eec01a9bd
     * Implemented counter system attribute.
     * Use counter system attributes to number titled tables and block
       images in HTML backends.
     * Added program name suffix to console messages.
     * Added substitution to the AttributeEntry passthrough syntax, this
       replaces the now unnecessary attributeentry-subs attribute.
     * Allow passthrough inline macro syntax to be used in
       AttributeEntrys.
     * Reinstated 8.4.4 default lang attribute behavior. See
       [16]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/d2992
       4043e21cb6a.
     * Added max-width attribute to the xhtml11 backend to set maximum
       display width. See

       by Todd Zullinger. See
       [18]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/ea3a8
       ea399ae5d2a and
       [19]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/69b31
       83fdab7c6a5
     * Added CHECK and TEST todo highlight words to Vim syntax
       highlighter.
     * Line breaks, page breaks, and horizontal rulers are now processed
       by dblatex, thanks to a patch submitted by Mark Fernandes
       ([20]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/a254
       cf949ea7c6c5).
     * Allow footnote macros hard up against the preceding word so the
       rendered footnote mark can be placed against the noted text without
       an intervening space (patch submitted by Stas Bushuev,
       [21]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/e1dcb
       7ee0efc17b5).
     * Normalized path in safe_filename function (submitted by Todd
       Zullinger,
       [22]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/69b31
       83fdab7c6a5).
     * The Asciidoc numbered and toc attributes cause DocBook outputs to
       include asciidoc-numbered and asciidoc-toc processing instructions,
       these are used by DocBook XSL to include section numbering and
       table of contents (like Asciidoc HTML backends). For backward
       compatibility both numbered and toc attributes are defined by
       default when the docbook backend is used. See
       [23]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/1bada
       d21ff9447ac.
     * data-uri attribute is now evaluated dynamically and can be set in
       document body (previously could only be set from command-line).
     * Added sys3 and eval3 system attributes to passthrough generated
       output, this fixes the data-uri inline image problem:
       [24]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/a42db
       6bc54c2c537.
     * Missing language file generates a warning instead of an error.
     * Updated Spanish language file (updates contributed by Gustavo
       Andrés Gómez Farhat).

   Bug fixes
     * FIXED: Options in an AttributeList option attribute are merged with
       (rather than replace) configuration file options.
     * FIXED: Comment blocks and comment block macros no longer consume
       preceding block titles and attribute lists.
     * FIXED: examples/website/layout1.conf and
       examples/website/layout2.conf TOC problem. Submitted by Mark
       (burtoogle). See
       [25]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/b9c63
       be67dd1d11c
     * FIXED: Only the first occurrence of passthrough macro was
       substituted. Patch submitted by Peter Johnson. See
       [26]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/1269d
       c2feb1a482c
     * FIXED: asciidoc now runs on Jython 2.5.0.
     * FIXED: Wordpress margins and pads in a number of block elements
       ([27]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/36ff
       073c79cbc20a).

  3.1. Regression issues

     * Tables generated by dblatex occupy 100% of the available space
       regardless of the width attribute setting. To restore width
       behavior change the pageunits miscellaneous parameter to pt. You
       can do this from the command-line with the -a pageunits=pt option.
       See [28]DocBook table widths.
