Version 2.2.2

on GitHub

Summary of changes in this minor release:

• Unified locale handling in anticipation of more localisation
• Improvements to overall build and packaging system
• Overhaul of the command line interface
• Integrates some results of the AIM workshop on web accessibilty of Maths

In more details:

1. Changes to locale handling:

   • Hierarchical structuring unicode mappings directory.
   • Homogeneous separation of mappings for each locale.
   • Moves all code out of unicode mappings.
   • Removes mappings for IE.

2. Changes to npm package and build system

   • New variables module to hold info on version numbers, directories and URLs.
   • Browser goal is now included in lib directory.
   • Uses delivrjs as default file server for JSON files.
   • Minifies JSON files
   • IE mappings are constructed at build time only.
   • Unicode mappings are collated in the mathmaps subdirectory in lib directory.

3. Overhaul of CLI

   • Processes now multiple files from command line input
   • The -i, --input option is deprecated and will be removed in future
     releases.
   • Allows for multiple processors (e.g., -p, -m, ... options) to be
     specified to be run on input files. Even same processor, multiple times.
   • -o', --output` option only saves the last to file. For multiple
     file/output processing use shell piping or shell input.
   • Allows for interactive input of a single XML expression in the shell. Also enables piping of the form
     sre < input > output
     or
     sre -o output < input
     This will also same the output of all processors into the output file.
   • Fixes log file handling
   • -e, --enumerate removed. Functionality folded into --help option.

4. AIM workshop results

   • Support for external walkers via semantic tree structure similar to the collapsed attributes.
   • -r, --structure exposes this information via structure attribute in the enriched mathml.

5. A number of bug fixes.
