About:
SiSU (Structured information, Serialized Units) is a lightweight markup based, text structuring and publishing framework (that features granular search). With minimal markup of a plaintext file, it produces: plain-text, HTML, XHTML, XML, ODF, LaTeX, PDF, and populates an SQL database at an object/paragraph level for granular searches. Prepare documents using your text editor of choice, then use SiSU to generate the desired output formats. SiSU is controlled from the command line.

[»] Marketing gimmick
by Web Smart - May 17th 2007 22:40:45

One of the many who do not give changes information while releasing new version. Do they just give new version number and resubmit to remain on the front page of freshmeat ?

This kind of marketing gimmick is adopted by lot others who resubmit without any considerable change in their versions. This kind of manipulation of platform like freshmeat must be plugged by freshmeat administration.

A url to the changelog is submitted with each release
(the most recent being):
http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/changelog.html#0.53.0

[changes are a bit more significant than reported in the
changelog as there are bugfixes and this starts to work
with ruby1.9 (as currently found in Debian
[ruby 1.9.0 (2007-05-26 patchlevel 0)] though working
with ruby 1.9 is not an immediate goal by any means.

So far each version released has been submitted to
freshmeat (I plan to continue to do so, unless freshmeat
policy is somehow that this should not be the case).

Incidentally I use freshmeat as an additional/external
record of version releases - rather than as a 'marketing
tool'.

If you (or anyone) need verification of change, do diffs
against versions (the last two you will find at):
http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/pkg/src/sisu_0.52.7.orig.tar.gz
http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/pkg/src/sisu_0.53.0.orig.tar.gz
(and compare lib/sisu/52.7 with lib/sisu/v0)

enjoy :)

[»] diffs and releases
by Ralph Amissah - Jun 3rd 2007 06:33:13

On reflection I withdraw the "diff" suggestion as justification of a release, (unless you know what you are looking at).
Fixes important enough to justify a release may (on occasion) be a code line or even a character in length.
