Next Release or at least a SNAPSHOT

[Boarschti42]

Hey,
is there a timeline for the next release and/or a new SNAPSHOT since the ones on sonatype are no longer available.
this Snapshot, i comparrision to v 0.12.0 has some important fixes and we would love if we can use it again without compiling it ourselfes.

Thank you for this information
have a nice christmas

@Boarschti42, I was not aware that Snapshot releases are vanishing. There is obviously a change at GitHub in authorisation, so it's more than an easy "mvn deploy". Tomorrow is my brother's wedding, so it might get finished by Monday. The full release was pushed back from my work packages for the EU e-invoice, which I edited in the past two years and the work was extended. My deadline is 15.01.2025, after that my tax, and after that the ODF toolkit release - so the plan! Sorry for the delay and inconvenience!

@svanteschubert The alternative to a snapshot would be a beta or rc release. These will not vanish.

Michael was so kind to do a SNAPSHOT release yesterday, and I found out the reason for my authorisation problem:
https://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-eol/
And did a SNAPSHOT release myself this morning.

It worked after creating a new user token https://central.sonatype.com/usertoken
and placing it into my ~/.m2/settings.xml I could deploy a SNAPSHOT release myself, but it is not browsable:

but should be downloadable/usable!

Please give the SNAPSHOT release a try!
The full release should be done before FOSDEM :-)

I created a fork to review our next release till next week Friday:
https://github.com/svanteschubert/odftoolkit

I have updated the documentation for the 0.13.0 release and put everything on the fork to review.
Most importantly, the Wiki with the docu:
https://svanteschubert.github.io/odftoolkit/

Please Note: There are no Maven artefacts yet uploaded, nor is the doc on odftoolkit.org; these are accepted broken links!

Fixed a minor incompatibility with Taglets for JDK 25, used to jump to the ODF Spec, like here

from https://svanteschubert.github.io/odftoolkit/api/odfdom/org/odftoolkit/odfdom/dom/element/chart/ChartAxisElement.html

and updated the version of every Maven dependency I could find - likely most interesting switching to Jena 5!
I can roll this back if someone has a problem with it! The release day in-spe is in 8 days on Friday next week!

[svanteschubert]

Just realized that Jena 5 requires JDK17+ and of course the next release will not raise the JDK requirements for run- or build.
Of course, we might release just afterwards another release with Jena 5 going to JDK 17 minimum.

My work yesterday was time-boxed, I had no time to rebase (-i) the fork cleanly by merging similar commits and no time to test - but we have time to figure this out! Test later today and come back afterwards...

[svanteschubert]

The build on our release-branch now passes again with JDK 11.
Changes:

1. Downgraded jena-core to 4.10.0
2. Downgraded maven-bundle-plugin to 5.1.9
3. The Cosium Formatting plugin is now being updated to 5.1 (problems during commit with previous upgrade)

[svanteschubert]

I fixed (yet only on my repo) the release configurations. Also, for snapshot releases, which seem to work, but did not show up (did in the end a snapshot release).

Now I cleaned up - via interactive rebase - the commit history on:
https://github.com/svanteschubert/odftoolkit/tree/release-candidate-0.13.0-clean
Will make this the default branch on my fork.
