<chapter><title>OpenSP 1.5.2 Release Notes</title>
<para>The OpenJade project provides a suite of tools and libraries for
validating, processing and applying DSSSL (Document Style Semantics and
Specification Language) style sheets to SGML and XML documents.</para>
<para>OpenJade is a project undertaken by the community to maintain and
extend James Clark's Jade, as well as the related SP suite of SGML/XML
processing tools. OpenJade and OpenSP are distributed under the same license
as Jade.</para>
<para>OpenSP is written in C++ and provides a class library, libosp, which
can be used as a basis for either open source or commerical projects. The
library can be built as either a dynamic or static library.
</para>
<sect1><title>Applications of OpenSP</title>
<para>The OpenSP library has been used in a number of projects. The
World Wide Web consortium on-line HTML and XHTML validator is based on the
OpenSP library. In addition to the OpenSP library a set of command line tools
are provided to support the validation and transformation of SGML files. In
particular <command>onsgmls</command> can validate both XML and SGML documents
held on a local file system or accessed remotely via a web server using the
HTTP protocol with standard URI notation; <command>osx</command> will convert
SGML to XML to allow a library of SGML documents to be processed with XML
tools.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1><title>Obtaining OpenSP</title>
<para>OpenSP is a project hosted at sourceforge.net and is available
from the OpenJade web site at http://openjade.sourceforge.net or directly from
the OpenJade project page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/openjade</para>
<para>OpenSP is provided in source code form. However, see <xref
linkend="bindist"/> for information on how to obtain pre-compiled
binary packages.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1><title>Supported Platforms</title>
<para>OpenSP is intended to be as portable as possible. It should be
possible to compile and build on most contemporary UNIX type platforms. In
addition OpenSP should also build on Microsoft's Win32 based operating
systems.
</para>
<para>OpenSP is known to compile with both the GNU gcc c++ compiler and
Microsoft Visual C++. Other compilers have not been extensively tested.</para>
<para>OpenSP 1.5.2 should build with the GNU gcc c++ compiler from
version 2.95 up to version 4.0. </para>
<para>OpenSP has been built on a number of architectures including Intel
i386 and ia64, Alpha AXP, Sparc, PPC and S/390.</para>

<sect1><title>Building OpenSP from Source</title>
<para>OpenSP requires 20Mb to 50Mb of disk space to build. An
installation will require around 10Mb to 20Mb depending on
architecture.</para>
<para>On UNIX platforms, OpenSP makes use of the GNU software
configuration tools (autoconf, libtool, automake etc). The GNU C++ compiler
and make utility should also be used. The steps required to build the OpenSP
tools (<command>onsgmls</command>, <command>osgmlnorm</command>,
<command>ospam</command>, <command>ospcat</command>,
<command>ospent</command>, <command>osx</command>) and libraries are as
follows:
<screen>gzip -d OpenSP-1.5.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd OpenSP-1.5.2
./configure <optional><option><replaceable>options...</replaceable></option></optional>
make</screen> You may need to switch to the super user
<command>root</command> to complete the installation
<screen>make install</screen>
The <command>configure</command> script supports many options. These
can be displayed using the command
<screen>./configure --help</screen>
In addition to the standard options, the following table describes options
specific to OpenSP.</para>

<para>Please refer to the system documentation for details on building
on the Win32 platform.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="bindist"><title>Binary Distributions</title>
<para>In addition to binary packages availble from the project, OpenSP
has been a part of many software distributions, including the major Linux
distributions as well as FreeBSD. Expect pre-compiled and packaged versions of
the latest version of OpenSP to be available from your distributor in due
course.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1><title>Installation</title>
<para>In addition to the OpenSP executables and libraries you will also
need various DTDs and declaration files. Some DTDs and associated files
(entity definitions) are available in the <filename>pubtext</filename>
directory of the distribution. However, more authoritative sources should be
referenced to ensure that up-to-date versions are used. If you wish to process
XML files, then suitable SGML declarations for valid XML documents should be
used. Again, a sample set of declarations (<filename>xml.dcl</filename>) is
provided in the <filename>pubtext</filename>, but more complete or recent
versions may be available from other sources.</para>
<para>OpenSP supports the standard SGML catalog facility; it is
recommended that you set up and use such a catalog system.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1><title>Support</title>
<para>If, after reading the documentation, you still have a problem,
then you may require some additional help. The OpenJade project is a volunteer
effort and as such does not provide any formal support. Instead, you should
look to the community for support. Once part of the community, you, in turn,
will be able to play your part in helping those that come after you. Here are
some pointers to obtaining help:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>If you obtained your OpenSP distribution in binary form from
your operating system distributor and you have a build related problem - such
as <command>onsgmls</command> crashing, then your first port of call should be
your distributor.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you have a problem with the usage of the OpenSP tools, then
you should try the openjade-users mailing list, see
http://sf.net/projects/openjade/ for details.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you have a patch or bug fix for OpenJade, or are trying to
use the OpenSP API then the openjade-devel mailing list is the appropriate
forum.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Please choose only one mailing list to post to, as cross-posting
is generally frowned upon. The various mailing lists are archived and
searchable. It is always worth searching for your problem first, as it is
often the case that someone has had the same problem before.</para>

<entry><para> Added support for the PI-based architecture using
declaration syntax defined by Amendment 1 to ISO/IEC 10744:1997 (HyTime). This
makes it possible to specify architectural support attributes when using
architectures with XML, and is generally simpler than the original syntax. See
http://www.ornl.gov/sgml/wg8/document/1985.htm for details. </para></entry>
