Hi all:

Just a quick note on the very low-key release of Publican 2.8.

Publican 2.7 fixed a bug[1] that prevented "Draft" watermarks appearing on documents built with the "draft" attribute. Unfortunately, the fix created a new bug[2] where the "Draft" watermark was visible on *all* PDF versions of documents, whether the "draft" attribute had been set or not! Because of the very high impact of the new bug, we've released Publican 2.8 to address it.

At the same time, we removed a recent feature that enforced an rpmlint check when documents were built in a chroot environment like mock (or a build system the uses mock, like Koji or Brew). In practice, this caused more problems than it prevented, and based on the feedback we received from users, we thought it better to just drop it.

A source tarball and RPM spec file are available on Fedorahosted,[3] and Publican 2.8 should be available in the Fedora repos shortly.

Cheers
Rudi
