Hi folks,
maybe some of you already noticed, but there has already been an 1.0.8.9 release of GeSHi about a month ago. If you now wonder why there is no download yet: Well, there was no time for packaging it yet, thus the only way for now is to grab the RELEASE_1_0_8_9 tag from the GeSHi SVN.
Again there are quite some changes in the release thus don’t forget to read the changelog to fetch ‚em all 😉
The next steps in getting the release out will be a small revise of a PHING release script by cweiske at the IRC channel, that aims to automate some of the stuff that has to be done for packaging, even though not necessary when just doing the tagging part of the releases. Just in case you wondered why actually packaging takes so long 😉
There will be a kinda preview of the next GeSHi release for 1.0.8.10 sometime soon for all the changes that already got integrated so far. Mostly this affects a lot of new language files and changes to existing ones but minor patches to the LangCheck script are waiting too. To grab it just have a look at the RELEASE_STABLE branch at the GeSHi SVN; updates will go there. Currently I’m still trying to reduce the backlog of mails that accumulated, But I’m mostly done with it.
There’s one somewhat bigger patch still waiting in the pipeline that addresses an issue with „highlight-within-highlighted“ situations but due to major changes to the parser this patch introduces I didn’t review it yet. But more on this in another post.
