[Xerte-dev] Re: LAtest Xerte Build

Mon May 28 12:18:44 BST 2012

 I have just committed to the xerte svn / pageWizards section a few updates
to fix the odd bug and add PageID as an optional property to pages that
were missing it.

As far as the models are concerned, other than the issue of getting the
"name" to populate the TOC and page title display I think they are pretty
much there now.

I will download the latest desktop beta and take a final look now at the
pages.xwd pages.rlo files to double check things. I am not sure if anyone
else has checked through my work on pages.rlo but whilst I don't think
there should be any problems a second opinion is always helpful.

Personally I would really like to get both XOT and Xerte 1.8 out at the
same time and ASAP so that we are finally running on one set of xwds and
one set of model files.

Documentation to support features that are not currently documented can
always follow the release.

Kind regards

Johnathan
