Excited about this one! We’ve listened to your feedback and reverted changes to the reporting of XML Parsing issues, and the XML reports now refer to the correct report schema version #DigitalPreservation #digipres

Another release note from JHOVE 1.28 for you? Thanks for contributing improvements to JHOVEs NISO Image metadata, which gets a new GPSHPositioningError tag and date validation. Very appreciative to everyone who helped! #digipres #digitalpreservation #opensource

Another day of noting release notes from JHOVE 1.28 for you. Having started to climb the mountain in Bern at @ipres2016 , all messages finally have IDs. It will stay that way, too, because we’ve taken away the code that allows their creation. #digipres #digitalpreservation

More release notes from JHOVE 1.28 for you. There’s a number of improvements to the PDF module, many address files that caused loop or overflow errors. More long reports that needed shortening. Looking forward to knowing what you think! #digipres #digitalpreservation #opensource

Thanks to the number of loop fixes that the community have contributed, JHOVE now crashes less frequently when encountering problem files. This meant longer reports; that’s why we had to sort the duplicate problem.

We want to celebrate the release features for JHOVE 1.28. Your reports may look a bit different, but we hope better; no more duplicates, messages are now sorted in offset order #digipres #digitalpreservation #opensource

I'd missed this: google-opensource.blogspot.c…, no new projects from now, read only from August, tar balls only for 2016, and closed down for 2017

Many thanks to @willpdp and @tschaggalecs for help with the SCAPE CI work. To describe it as a joint effort would be to overstate my role.
