Publican 2 is finally finished and released. The most significant update
is the incorporation of the web-publishing component that was previously
used stand-alone by Red Hat internally and, more recently, has been used
by the Fedora Documentation Project to build the Fedora documentation
suite.[0] With web publishing built in, Publican can handle the whole
publication process from DocBook XML to a live website. The new feature
is documented in a new chapter in the Users' Guide.[1]
Apart from this major new feature, Publican 2 also includes fixes for
several bugs; most notably: xrefs to various elements that didn't work,
problems with <indexterms> for translators, and various presentation flaws.
Publican 2 is not yet available as a Fedora update; however, you can
download builds from the Fedora build system (Koji) for testing.[2]
Publican 2 will become generally available in Fedora once it has
accumulated enough Karma in the Fedora update system (Bodhi).[3]
For users of other operating systems, the source tarball is available
from Fedorahosted.[4]
Cheers,
Rudi
