This release incorporates the usual set of bugfixes, some general improvements, and support for dvipng. The way how ARG/XARG commands/macros work has changed.

Incompatible changes:
- deplate currently is slightly instable. This is related to a change of how ARG and XARG type of commands/macros work within #Def... regions, which are now passed through the template filter. In order to retain the old behaviour, set the legacyDefine1 variable.
- the locale-related modules were renamed to lang-* (in some cases underscores and dashes were transposed)
- most lists (e.g. css variable) are now comma-separated lists
- many regions (e.g. #For, #Def*) are first processed by the template filter before being actually expanded
- The use of @regNote (the part after the colon) will be deprecated in some future version; deplate currently displays a warning message that isn't always useful/correct and should currently be ignored in certain cases... read more

Debian packages are kindly provided by Maxim Komar at http://komar.org.ua/files/deplate/

- Remove blacklisted LaTeX commands from input (unless allow=t is set)
- Support for a general style attribute (support for styled LaTeX and HTML output; not supported for DocBook output)
- Extended wiki names my include interwikis (e.g. [[WIKI::FooBar#a][Foo and Bar]])
- Slightly improved support for international characters in camel-case type wiki names
- More commands were made volatile (i.e. they don't close elements)
- Experimental hack for nukumi2 (v0.5)
- Support for jsMath

I enabled the CVS, which can be accessed from the web at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/deplate/

As I personally use (a non publicly accessible) subversion, this is mainly meant to distribute the development version at the moment.

It supports page templates, embedded LaTeX code, footnotes, citations, bibliographies, automatic generation of an index, table of contents etc. It can be used to create web pages and (via LaTeX or Docbook) high-quality printouts from the same source.

Apart from some important bug and security fixes, this release features: inline filter definitions; the ability to read ruby's rdoc format and a restricted version of the orginal viki/deplate markup; a really plain text formatter; slightly revamped multipage html output; a first try on saving metadata in auxiliary files (currently in ad-hoc yaml format only).

0.7.1 fixes problems when running R and identify; it also includes some minor adjustments to LaTeX output.

Happy first anniversary! deplate is one year old. At the core of this release is a rewrite of how formatters are linked into the system. This change engenders a few new features: Templates and LaTeX output (especially tables) were greatly enhanced. Possibility to style output, which is demonstrated in some new modules: html-headings-navbar, numpara, mark-external-urls, latex-styles. A #Code region was added for displaying source code. For other changes please see the change log.

The current testing version can be downloaded from

http://deplate.sourceforge.net/deplate-testing.zip

For a change log, please see the project homepage (http://deplate.sourceforge.net). Apart from some bug fixes underway, this version should correspond mostly to the upcoming 0.7.

The new set of files contains the following changes relative to the 0.6 release notes:

* regions.rb: Put all regions into a module Deplate::Regions.
* elements.rb: Work-around for unexpected const_get feature (further changes are necessary)
* builtin.rb: added missing comma
* define.rb: arguments to be interpreted by deplate and named arguments to the user-defined regions/macros/commands are no longer separated
* html.rb, particles.rb: require "cgi", not "CGI"

The files for deplate 0.6 were temporarily removed. I will upload a new version soon.

Many small changes were made in order to make deplate more consistent and more stable. The biggest "user-visible" changes are: the standard markup for emphasis and code has changed (a module is provided for re-enabling the old markup); you can define simple regions/macros/commands inline without writing any ruby code; regions can be indented; improved navigation bar for html slides; arguments to regions/macros/commands can be put in double quotes; added support for Russian; improved support for Chinese; new macros and aliases: plain, \, code, ', verb, _, emph, em, stacked, sup, super, sub, text, idx, label; new commands: ABBREV, MODULE; new elements: --8<----

The highlights of this release are a simple template mechanism and docbook output (currently book, article, or reference pages are supported). The layout of the user configuration directory was modified and many other changes were made.
