<h2>Release 1.5.0</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Added support for targeted résumés. This allows
|
||
|
|
the user to selectively filter out irrelevant elements and focus
|
||
|
|
the résumé to a particular purpose. A
|
||
|
|
demonstration of this feature is included in
|
||
|
|
<code>example/example2.xml</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) now default to being embedded
|
||
|
|
directly into the HTML output, which makes it easier to
|
||
|
|
email/transfer a résumé. Thanks to Luciano Cardoso
|
||
|
|
for the suggestion and hint.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Decreased the default margins to conserve space and trees
|
||
|
|
(PDF output)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Referees can now be listed in a 2-column table in the PDF and HTML
|
||
|
|
output. This behavior is off by default.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Italian, French, Spanish, and Brazilian translations have been
|
||
|
|
improved/fixed. (Thanks to Didier Cassirame, Gilles
|
||
|
|
Sadowski, Luciano Cardoso, and Miguel Coca)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Localization support for the fax and phone elements has been
|
||
|
|
improved. The home.word, mobile.word, and work.word params have
|
||
|
|
been replaced by phone.home.phrase, phone.mobile.phrase, and
|
||
|
|
phone.work.phrase (same applies to fax) that can support arbitrary
|
||
|
|
orderings (eg, Mobile Phone in UK, GSM in French, Cellphone in US).
|
||
|
|
Default translations for some languages may be incomplete, so please
|
||
|
|
send in translations via SourceForge's Patch Request forms.
|
||
|
|
(Bugs 624365, 629607)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Makefile support (in the <code>examples</code> directory) has been
|
||
|
|
added for using XMLMind's XFC package or the JFOR package to
|
||
|
|
produce RTF output. This requires a separate download and is not
|
||
|
|
strongly supported by the XMLRésumé Project.
|
||
|
|
(Thanks to James Manning)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The project element can now have a "title" attribute.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The "date" element can now be used in place of "period" for
|
||
|
|
the "membership" and "job" elements, and period can be used in
|
||
|
|
in place of date in the award and clearance tags</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Release 1.4.2</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fixed a bug that caused unexpected line breaks in text output (bug
|
||
|
|
566653).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Decreased the default width of text output from 80 to 72 characters.
|
||
|
|
This allows them to be transmitted in most e-mail programs without
|
||
|
|
wrapping the very last part of each line.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Added support for comma-separated formatting of degree subjects. This
|
||
|
|
is now the default. (Thanks to Mark Miller.)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Comma-formatted skill lists in text output format are now terminated
|
||
|
|
with a period (feature request 575845).</li>

|
||

it as a DOC file. (Contributed by Mark Miller.)</li>

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fixed bug 509432: formatting of academic degrees exhibited

<h2>Release 1.3.1</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This release fixes a minor bug in the catalog file for the DTD.
|
||
|
|
It also puts descriptions in the HTML output into a
|
||
|
|
<code><div></code> block with the CSS class description,
|
||
|
|
enabling you to format descriptions of jobs specially.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Release 1.3.0</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Schema Change!</strong> The
|
||
|
|
<code><subject></code> element under a
|
||
|
|
<code><degree></code> in order to list your college
|
||
|
|
major is now a <code><major></code> element. You will
|
||
|
|
need to change your résumés and/or software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>As a convenience, we have provided an XSLT transformation
|
||
|
|
in <code>xsl/124-130.xsl</code> that will turn version 1.2.4
|
||
|
|
résumés into 1.3.0 with the
|
||
|
|
<code><major></code> element.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The <code><name></code> under a
|
||
|
|
<code><copyright></code> is now optional. If omitted,
|
||
|
|
the name will be taken from the <code><header></code>.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You can specify whether HTML and plain text headings should
|
||
|
|
be standard (flush left) or centered with the
|
||
|
|
<code>header.format</code> parameter.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You can format skill sections as bullet lists or
|
||
|
|
comma-separated lists with the <code>skills.format</code>
|
||
|
|
parameter.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>We've simplified international addresses using a setting for
|
||
|
|
the <code>address.format</code> parameter and also by allowing
|
||
|
|
freeform addresses.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You can now list and format professional memberships on your
|
||
|
|
résumé with the <code><memberships></code>
|
||
|
|
element.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You can list subjects and levels achieved under each degree
|
||
|
|
with the <code><subjects></code> element. Subjects are
|
||
|
|
formatted for print and web, but not yet for text.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You can list personal references with the
|
||
|
|
<code><referees></code> element.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Many elements contain unique <code>id</code> attributes
|
||
|
|
now. You can use the <code>name</code> attribute in an
|
||
|
|
<code><author></code> element to refer to a publication
|
||
|
|
author by <code>id</code>.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You can list projects at a job with the new
|
||
|
|
<code><projects></code> element.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The graduation <code><date></code> on a degree is
|
||
|
|
optional now.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>There's an SGML catalog file now.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The new XSL paramater <code>half.space</code> is used for a
|
||
|
|
smaller amount of space between certain types of paragraphs.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The plain text formatting cleans up extra newlines when
|
||
|
|
certain parts of the resume or the titles are empty. It also
|
||
|
|
wraps long lists of items cleanly.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Additionally, we've fixed some bugs in the XSL files.</p>
|
||
|

<h2>Release 1.2.4</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Bugs fixed:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Old style US addresses in HTML were coming out
|
||
|
|
"City,State". Now there's a space after the comma:
|
||
|
|
"City, State".
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The <code><dayOfMonth></code> was missing a content
|
||
|
|
model; it has one now (PCDATA).
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code><fullDate></code> wasn't referenced anywhere.
|
||
|
|
It's gone.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The plain text stylesheet <code>text.xsl</code>
|
||
|
|
contained an invalid template that Xalan allowed but 4Suite
|
||
|
|
correctly disallowed. That's fixed now.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The HTML output explicitly sets the character set to
|
||
|
|
UTF-8.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Bullet lists in the text formatting have been greatly
|

improved.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>No more blank labels for telephone or email when there's no
|
||
|
|
telephone or email specified.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The homepage URL now appears in the HTML formatting.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>New features:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Each job in the employment history may now contain a list of
|
||
|
|
achievements, which become formatted as a bullet-list.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Achievements and skills now use the same markup model as
|
||
|
|
plain paragraphs, enabling richer semantics.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Real en-dashes appear in periods of employment
|
||
|
|
in the FO rendering.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Hyphens in the FO rendering separating employer, job title,
|
||
|
|
and period of employment use bullets now (those hyphens looked
|
||
|
|
funny).
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>HTML output now includes Cascading Stylesheet (CSS) "class"
|
||
|
|
attributes, enabling you to customize the HTML appearance of
|
||
|
|
your résumé. Two sample stylesheets,
|
||
|
|
<code>resume1.css</code> and <code>resume2.css</code> are in
|
||
|
|
the <code>css</code> directory.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|

<h2>Release 1.2.3</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><em>Internationalization support</em>. The DTD and
|
||
|
|
the stylesheets support formatting international addresses
|
||
|
|
with a rich set of metadata. See the
|
||
|
|
<code>example2.xml</code> résumé for an
|
||
|
|
example. Older résumés using the US address
|
||
|
|
schema are still compatible. <strong>Note that FOP 0.19.0
|
||
|
|
does not handle line breaks in addresses correctly yet. Use
|
||
|
|
XEP from <a href="http://www.renderx.com/">RenderX</a> until
|
||
|
|
the Apache XML Project can fix this bug!</strong>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><em>Localization support</em>. We've replaced
|
||
|
|
hard-coded words like "Professional Objective" and
|
||
|
|
"résumé" as well as paper sizes and margins with
|
||
|
|
configurable parameters. Driver files set these parameters
|
||
|
|
and format résumés appropriately. Support for
|
||
|
|
US English, UK English, and French are included.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><em>Date of birth</em>. The DTD supports a
|
||
|
|
<code><birth></code> element to record date of birth.
|
||
|
|
This element is currently not formatted.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>

|

<h2>Release 1.2.2</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This release lets you specify rich content for publications in
|
||
|
|
addition to free-form paragraphs, including
|
||
|
|
<code><artTitle></code>, <code><bookTitle></code>,
|
||
|
|
<code><author></code>, <code><pubDate></code>,
|
||
|
|
<code><publisher></code>, and
|
||
|
|
<code><pageNums></code>. The stylesheets will format
|
||
|
|
these elements appropriately.
|
||
|
|

<h2>Release 1.2.1</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Now compatible with <a
|
||
|
|
href="http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html">FOP 1.19.0</a>.
|
||
|
|
You can still expect to see warning messages from FOP, but
|
||
|
|
these are harmless.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Acute accents now appear in the word "résumé"
|
||
|
|
in the running footer in the FO output.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
