My goodness, can you make this any easier? --Wes ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laurens M. Fridael" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 9:53 AM Subject: JPluck 0.9 beta 2 released
> Hi, > > > I've released JPluck 0.9 beta 2. > > http://jpluck.sourceforge.net/ > > Beta 2 has several important improvements: > > - New: Scheduling > Documents can now be scheduled for conversion on specific days of the week > and times of the day. More information on the special Scheduling page. (See > the Manual section on the site.) > > - Improved Windows HotSync conduit > The conduit has been upgraded significantly and is now part of the main > distribution. The big improvement is that PDBs can be synced to RAM right > after they have been generated, while the rest of the documents are > downloaded and queued in parallel. This can greatly reduce HotSync time when > you convert multiple documents, especially on a serial or IR connection. The > second improvement is that you can instruct the conduit to convert only > scheduled and due documents. Finally, the Windows installer now registers > the conduit automatically. (Note that the conduit cannot sync PDBs to memory > cards yet. Documents meant to be stored on memory cards are still synced at > the end of the HotSync process. This will be addressed shortly.) > > - New: Broken links handling > Links to pages that are not present in the resulting Plucker document can be > given a distinct color or removed from the document altogether. > > - New: HTML to XML conversion dialog > This feature is meant for developers who want to create XSLT stylesheets to > transform HTML pages. Simply specify a filename or URL and JPluck > automatically retrieves the HTML page and converts it to well-formed XML. > You can then paste this XML into a dedicated XSLT editor and develop > stylesheets there. > > - Improved character handling > JPluck now translates Unicode entities to the PalmLatin character set where > possible. Examples include the curly quotes, the promille, the ellipsis and > the Euro. > > - Improved logging > JPluck C can now send log messages to standard out, a log file and the > progress window simultaneously. JPluck X can now automatically save messages > to a global log file and/or to a JXL-specific local log file. > > - Miscellaneous > Added the ability to override the user agent on a per-Document basis. Added > the option to specify the HotSync destination on a per-Document basis. Made > several interface improvements. > > > Broken links handling is a particularly useful feature that, at least for > me, greatly affects usage of the Viewer. By giving them a distinct color (I > prefer red) I can quickly scan a document and skip the broken links. No more > tapping on a link and then finding out it isn't in the document. > > To configure the conduit, click on the HotSync icon in the system tray and > select Custom... from the popup menu, then double-click on JPluck in the > conduit listing. This brings up the conduit configuration dialog. > > Let me know what you think. > > > Regards > -Laurens > --- > http://jpluck.sourceforge.net/ > JPluck - open-source Plucker document creation toolkit. > > NOTE: > Please report JPluck bugs and issues directly to me by e-mail. > Do not discuss JPluck technical issues on the Plucker mailing lists. > > _______________________________________________ > plucker-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list > _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
