Greetings FOSSology users,
The FOSSology team is happy to announce the release of version 2.6.0 Release
Candidate 1.
• monk. This is a new license scanner contributed by our friends at
Siemens and TNGTech. Monk looks for complete licenses (as defined in the
database) and reports the percentage match (see also License highlighting
below).
• License highlighting. Now when you view a license you can see exactly
what was added or removed from a license. This works especially well with monk
since monk scans for complete licenses (stored in the fossology database). But
it also works to show you what snippet nomos matched to identify a license.
• fo_copyright_list can now list files that contain a copyright, or
list files that do not contain a copyright.
• New license browser
• fo_license_list has new options to exclude licenses (or directories)
• Many new licenses added
• Old bugs fixed, new ones added. see our issue tracker at
http://fossology.org
Installation and upgrade instructions can be found at
http://www.fossology.org/projects/fossology/wiki/Install_2_6
If no critical issues are found in RC1 we hope to put out the general release
on Sept 24.
Many thanks to Larry, Vincent, Johannes, Andreas, Daniele, Steffen, Paul,
Oliver, and everyone who have filed bug reports, contributed code,
documentation and made FOSSology a great tool.
Thanks,
Bob
