xenoData users?
by Lou Burnard 11 May '22

11 May '22

a few weeks ago i posted a query about usage of xenoData on tei-l and followed it up with a repeat on twitter. i was a bit surprised to receive absolutely zero response (full disclosure : i did get a reply from m.mueller but not to the question i asked) . so either no one is using this lovely tag or no one wants to admit to it. either of which seems somewhat of a problem. maybe, i thought, maybe the mandarins of the tei council know better? are any of you using it for real in a project?do you know any project which is?

Deprecation for ident changes?
by Martin Holmes 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

Hi all, OUr LEMDO project got bitten by an unexpected change in the latest TEI release: we have a customization which deletes the Schematron rule which disallows nested ab elements, because we believe they should be nestable. However, the @ident of that rule was changed in the release, so suddenly our customization failed and a pile of files were suddenly invalid. No problem to figure out and fix, but it does show that changing an @ident should be subject to deprecation warnings if we aim not to catch people out with a release. I don't know how that could be done, though. We noticed a bunch of other unexpected changes too, and I was a bit surprised because I subscribe to the bleeding-edge Oxygen plugin so that I get plenty of warning of changes landing in the dev branches. However, I think what has been happening is that a lot of changes have been taking place in feature branches, and then languishing there until the last-minute mad scramble to land them in dev and release branches before the release date. That means that the value of the bleeding-edge plugin as an advance testing mechanism is diminished. Again, not sure what could be done about that.

altIdent screw up
by Bauman, Syd 21 Apr '22

21 Apr '22

Oh BLEEP! I failed to change the manual deprecation date from "2022-07-14" to "2022-10-21" on the "deprecate_altIdent_in_non-ODD_places" constraint specification (in file P5/Source/Specs/altIdent.xml). Now that we have published 4.4.0 with the “wrong” date I see 3 possible courses of action: 1. Leave things as is, and just act on the deprecation on 2022-07-14. Yes, that makes the deprecation period pretty short, but who uses `<altIdent>` anyway? 2. Do nothing in July. For the _next_ release (call it 4.5.0, as that is likely what it will be) reset the valid until date from 2022-07-14 to a date a few months after the 4.5.0 release. 3. Issue a point release (4.4.1) now that corrects the date to the desired 2022-10-21.

Dear, All, I have now created the release branch for version 4.4.0 of the Guidelines (https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/tree/release-4.4.0) and for version 7.53.0 of the Stylesheets ( https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/tree/release-7.53.0) Please refrain from committing anything to dev until the release is completed.

how many namespaces?
by Bauman, Syd 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

I added a new routine to TEI/P5/Utilities/ called namespaces.xslt that generates a table that gives you counts of namespace nodes. See https://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/4TEICouncil/namespaces_in_P5.xhtml.
