[TxMt] [ANN] TeXMLMate 1.2

[Todd Ditchendorf]

TeXMLMate 1.2 is out:

http://www.ditchnet.org/texmlmate/



First, validation against Schematron is now supported. If you haven't  
seen schematron, I highly recommend reading about it here (it's the  
bomb):

Second, there's now a checkbox in the UI for toggling sound on/off.  
it's off by default. this clutters the ui a bit, but it was the least  
crappy solution i could think of for now.

This is fixed. No more need to save your document before parsing --  
TeXMLMate will pick up the most current text in the front most  
window, saved or not. One caveat, you must save the document to disk  
at least once (so libxml can have a base uri to work with).

Er... this is kinda embarrassing, but Turns out that TeXMLMate 1.1 &  
earlier had some *serious* encoding issues with non-ASCII text. For  
XML software, that's really totally unacceptable.

I *think* I've got everything worked out... There are no UI  
additions, but TeXMLMate should intelligently auto-discover (with or  
without an encoding psuedo-attribute on the XML prolog/decl) any  
encoding that TextMate is capable of saving your document in, and  
handle it correctly when parsing. This sort of thing is , of course,  
fully supported by libxml (which powers TeXMLMate), but frankly, I  
was f*cking it up. :)

I encourage anyone with non-ASCII XML documents lying around to  
please kick the tires on 1.2 and send me a quick note with a thumbs  
up or brief bug report.

Agreed. this is now be the default.

A huge thanks to all who've sent feedback and bug reports. Response  
for this little plugin has been *way* beyond what I expected, and  
I'll def. be working on more features.

Thanks again,
