Dear Martin, dear all,
Thanks Martin for keeping an eye on the latest Oxygen releases.
I agree that we need regular meetings with the Oxygen team. I can get in touch with them. Who would be interested in getting involved?
For now: how do we proceed? If I understand Alex's comment from today correctly, the references in *.framework to certain jar versions cause problems, or?
Best,
Martina

Betreff: [Tei-council] Oxygen plugin update
Hi all,
It turns out that we can't just adopt the new framework files provided by Radu. What we need to do is to compare each feature/transformation in the three current framework files with the new framework files, and figure out how to update each of our configurations based on the Oxygen ones; I'm really not sure what that will involve, and I don't have time to do it now, so I think it's time for Council to step in on this ticket:
https://github.com/TEIC/oxygen-tei/issues/27
I'm going to tentatively schedule some time next Friday to look at this if no-one else is interested, but until then I won't really be able to work on it, so be aware that if you update to Oxygen 25 and you're subscribed to the stable or bleeding-edge plugin, things may break. We might want to warn users too through TEI-L.
I thought we had managed to convince the Oxygen team that we really need plenty of warning when they're going to release a new version that will break things for us, but they don't seem to have got the message. It's not really in their interest, of course -- our plugin enables people to keep using old Oxygen versions and still have up-to-date TEI and Stylesheets, so I can see how that might not be something they're too keen on. But we also have mutual interests that are not being properly tended; it makes no sense for Oxygen to release a new version with baked-in TEI 4.4.0 when we're just a couple of weeks away from releasing 4.5.0. I think it would help if Council had a more formal relationship with the Oxygen team and held regular coordination meetings.
Cheers,
Martin
