Hi,

This is an automatic notification about a new xml2rfc release, 
v2.47.0, generated when running the mkrelease script.

Release notes:

xml2rfc (2.47.0) ietf; urgency=medium

  **CSS fixes, Built-in documentation, manpage mode, and more**

  The major feature in this release is the addition of built-in documentation
  generated from:

   - the actual XML schema distributed with the tool
   - the differences between the current schema and the RFC7991 schema
   - the code's settings for which elements and attributes are deprecated
   - text snippets describing the schema parts and how the code handles them.

  There are new --doc/--docfile and --man/--manpage switches; the first will
  generate documentation in the form of a v3 XML document that can then itself
  be processed to generate the various supported formats. The second, --man,
  will generate the documentation XML internally and then process it to text
  output which is shown with a pager, like 'man'.

  From the commit log:

  * Corrected the CSS line height of compact lists (it should not be different
    than for non-compact lists; compact should only affect spacing between
    items, not line height).  Also corrected the CSS top margin for nested
    lists; extra top margin is desired for a top-level list, but not when
    nesting them, due to the resulting inconsistency in apparent line height
    variations.

  * Changed <section> within <toc> from oneOrMore to zeroOrMore, in order to
    make it possible to honour the tocInclude setting, and reordered some
    true/false entries for consistency, and changed the line breaking of some
    lines in the RNG compact representation to fit on 72-character lines.

  * Added .rng and .rnc files with the RFC7991 schema, in order to be able to
    automatically determine which elements and attributes are new in the schema
    since 7991.

  * Added a new writer, 'doc', and template and text snippet files for 
    autogenerated documentation.

  * Updated the requirements file with some new module requirements.

  * Refactured the code a bit to make it more straightforward to generate 
    text without writing it out to file.

  * Moved the list of deprecated attributes to writers/base.py, and did some
    slight refactoring for consistent naming of some class variables and
    avoidance of duplicate parsing of the schema file.

  * Did some minor code cleanup and dead code removal, and corrected the 
    header generation for non-IETF documents (using <rfc ipr=''>).

  * Fixed an issue where XML parser errors could be reported for '<string>' 
    instead of the actual input file name.

  * Added new options --docfile/--doc and --manpage/--man, used to trigger
    generation and display of the built-in documentation.  Reorganised the
    option grouping.  Updated some option help strings.  Made it possible to
    propagate all command-line option information to the documentation template.

  * Corrected the default templates path.  This is related to change [3723].

  * Reverted a change from [3722] in the v2v3 converter.

  * Added a custom Jinja2 filter 'capfirst()', for use in the documentation 
    template.

  * Tweaked the documentation template: Some changed wording, support for 
    sub-items not wrapped in <t>, corrected capitalisation using the 'capfirst' 
    filter.

  * Updated hastext() and iscomment() to do the right thing if given 
    content with embedded xml processing instructions.

  * Tweaked the handling of default values for --date, so as to give better 
    documentation of the option, and also tweaked the help text for 
    --table-borders.

  * Added a class utility method to get any current PI related to a given 
    setting, and fixed another case of template path default value, related to 
    [3722].

  * Added PI support for text table borders setting, and improved the text 
    table output for transitions between <th> and <td> rows> for 'light' and 
    'minimal' borders.

  * Added makefile support for testing of the --manpage and --docfile 
    switches.  Added silencing of one unavoidable warning in the test of 
    --unprep.

 -- Henrik Levkowetz <henrik@levkowetz.com>  17 Jul 2020 14:07:39 -0700

The preferred way to install xml2rfc is by doing 'pip install xml2rfc',
and 'pip install --upgrade xml2rfc' to upgrade.  If there are system-
installed python modules which pip will not upgrade, you may have to
use 'pip install --upgrade --no-deps xml2rfc' and install dependencies
manually.

The new version is also available through SVN checkout, with
  'svn checkout http://svn.tools.ietf.org/svn/tools/xml2rfc/tags/cli/2.47.0'

Regards,

	Henrik

Hi,

It's taken a lot longer than we thought, but I expect the next release of=

xml2rfc to be 3.0.0.  I currently plan to do the 3.0.0 release shortly af=
ter
IETF 108.

Best regards,

	Henrik

I've been asked to clarify whether the conversion to 3.0.0 will mean the
end of support for the v2 (RFC 7749) vocabulary or whether that vocabular=
y
(DTD/Schema) will continue to be supported.

Short: The v2 vocabulary will continue to be supported.

The longer answer is that (as indicated below) the default _output_ forma=
t
will change to use the v3 renderer.  xml2rfc will continue to accept v2 i=
nput,
but by default it will send it through the v2-to-v3 converter, and proces=
s
the resulting v3 xml through the v3 formatters.

If you want to use the v2 formatters directly from the v2 XML, you will n=
eed
to give the --legacy switch to xml2rfc.


Best regards,

	Henrik
