I'm not criticizing your changes, but am I curious if you have a
reference for this. I've never heard of any special treatment for one
kind of attribute (class or color) versus another, nor can I find it on
www.w3c.org. Have they changed the rules again?

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2

Section 3.2.2 of the HTML 4.01 spec says:

OK, so it additionally says:

a new release

hi everyone,

it looks like all the furied cvs committing recently has calmed
down a bit, so i'm thinking of making a tarball as a release soon,
hopefully there'll be some good suggestions about the current
state of things after that.

i was thinking sometime sunday evening (uk time). does anyone
have any objections? some cool thing that they've been working on
and would like to see released?

thanks,
daniel

Re: CVS commit defunct


Hm, this should be ok. Did the following:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:mred <at> cvs.mrbs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mrbs
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs login
cvs co mrbs
[add a file]
cvs add [new file]
cvs [server aborted]: "add" requires write access to the repository

Doesn't work (verified that ssh works by doing a ssh to sourceforge).
Normal commit (only changing a file, not adding a new one) gives
a similar message:
cvs [server aborted]: "commit" requires write access to the repository

Do it. And be brave: call it 1.0. Not beta, not 0.999, not "pre-x".  In my
opinion, many open-source projects wait too long for the magic "1.0". If
something is even marginally useful and doesn't crash too often (the
"Windows test"), beta is over and it's time for whole numbers. MRBS has
been far beyond that standard for a long time.

on Sunday and Monday. Accumulation: well, if you're short, don't go outside,
or they may not find you."

Release 1.0pre1

hi there,

i've made up a release from the current cvs sources.

many things have been restructured since the 0.9.2 release, so i
have called this one 1.0pre1. i'm mainly looking for people to
help update the language files so that all of them are complete,
and then i can make a real 1.0 release.

http://download.sourceforge.net/mrbs/mrbs-1.0pre1.tar.gz

thanks,
daniel
