XML Directory Listing 0.2

I had a couple of tickets needing doing for the XML Directory Listing project I have on Googlecode. Thanks again to all those that submitted the tickets, the new 0.2 release resolves these I hope:

  • Change to in / out file handlers on Ant task, should work more like the native tasks
  • Removed DTD from XML output
  • Added ability to configure character set on XML declaration, defaulting to UTF-8
  • Possible fix to bug in XML output on Ubuntu Hardy

I was wondering recently whether this solution is a little over engineered and how if I had to do it again I’d go for something like a simple ruby script - after all it’s not that common a task. However I’ve used this software again at work recently to generate some documentation from inline comments in XSLT and the Ant integration is really quite useful. Hope others find a use for it too.

Google gone crazy

Thought some spam comments on my site may be why it’s being listed as “harmful” in Google. Then I noticed they’d just gone crazy. Quite funny.
