a pretty wet summer made us stay indoors, so we present a new DAPS version just before the summer holidays. We are especially proud of finally having implemented Bash completion for DAPS. Sourcing configuration files has been replaced by properly parsing them, making DAPS more secure.
Config File Parser: Up to now, config files (DC-files, /etc/daps/config and ~/.config/daps/dapsrc) have been sourced. This has been a major security issue, since every shell code gets executed when a file is being sourced. DAPS 2.3.0 now comes with a parser that fixes this security hole. Apart from one exception (see below) existing config files do not need to be changed. However, the parser offers more flexibility, see https://github.com/openSUSE/daps/blob/develop/etc/config.in for documentation (the manuals has not been updated, yet). The only exception that requires changes in the config file is something like FOO="$FOO bar" To concatenate values, use "+=" now. See the following commit for an example: https://github.com/openSUSE/daps/commit/7a2ce04
Bash Completion: TAB-completion for DAPS has been one of the very first feature requests we opened (almost five years ago). Now we finally managed to conquer the black Bash magic required to get it!
Automatically detect the DocBook 5 version: If you have DocBook 5.1 installed, docbookxi.rng from 5.1 will automatically be used as the validating schema for DocBook 5 documents. If you rather want to use the 5.0 schema or a custom schema, set DOCBOOK5_RNG_URI accordingly in /etc/daps/config (for a system wide configuration), in $HOME/.config/daps/dapsrc (for a user specific configuration), or in the DC-file (for a document-specific configuration)
Bugfixes:
subcommand locdrop failed when the book did not include images
spellcheck now ignores text in <replaceable> tags
obsolete 'daps-susespellhas been removed (replaced bydaps ... spellcheck` long ago)
paths starting with "~" were not always correctly resolved
several fixes for ePUB, among them a fix that now correctly chooses mediaobject entries with role="html" rather than choosing the first one listed ion the XML source
