The full release notes for the 1.24 release candidate are available on GitHub here: github.com/veraPDF/veraPD…

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

Great initiative led by the PDF Association, now anyone can get a copy of the PDF 2.0 ISO standard at no cost. What's not to like: pdfa.org/announcing-no-…

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.

@bryony_hooper This is a pretty good general guide: dev.to/merlos/how-to-… While this one has a bit of a data "slant": tilburgsciencehub.com/building-block… Finally, if you want to learn by example, this is quite a nice curated list of standout READMEs: github.com/matiassingers/… Good luck.

@openpreserve Multiple labours and the love is spread too thin at the moment. Better news about JHOVE v1.28 coming very soon.

In celebration of #Valentinesday❤️💘❤️‍🔥, what #DigitalPreservation project is your current labour of love - what’s hacking your heart this year?

@prwheatley A Docker install might also be a way of doing this, but it probably means running a VM on Windows anyway. I need to experiment with a recent version of Windows and Docker to see what the state of play is now.

Hi tweeps. Classic #digipres problem: Digital archivist needs to install various OS digipres tools, but IT has their 'puter locked down. How do you safely solve this issue? Would anyone be up for throwing some ideas down in a short presentation for an online event? 1/2

@prwheatley @jacko_os @openpreserve What @jacko_os said😁. The VRE is set up to allow drive sharing with the host as well as clipboard sharing. Redirecting stdout to a file on a host drive will work. Happy to help more if needed.

@jacko_os @openpreserve Thanks Jack! I will follow up. Any initial thoughts @openpreserve?

@superteadrinker @openpreserve I know it's not what you want to hear, but I'd feel more comfortable with MP4 in your shoes, sorry.

@superteadrinker @openpreserve M4V supports Apple's FairPlay digital rights management (DRM) tech and only supports the H.264 video codec are the main technical differences AFIK.

@openpreserve @MickyLindlar @jrvdhoeven I’ll remind you that Lucifer was once an angel…

@MickyLindlar @jrvdhoeven yes @MickyLindlar !! @carlscode has the voice of an angel

And now everyone „video killed the radio star“. New #ipres2022 anthem?

@prwheatley @criticalsenses @openpreserve Hmmm. We’ve not changed anything and this looks like a missing module/plugin. The line’s in a setup file that’s run every access. Will investigate but am away tomorrow.

@criticalsenses Oh that looks bad. It has been awaiting attention from the maintainers: @openpreserve for over a year now. I will try and chase them again.

#digipres peeps - the COPTR website is producing a fatal error & i’m not sure who maintains it. can someone plz pass my on my message to whoever needs to see it? big thanks coptr.digipres.org #digitalpreservation #coptr

@MickyLindlar @CHLThor @openpreserve @MickyLindlar I’ve fixed the packaging issue and am just adding a couple of tested PRs. Out today.

@carlscode @CHLThor @openpreserve hey Carl, have you had a chance to look at this yet? what is the plan moving forward here - will there be a fixed RC that we can test PDF-module fixes with?

YESS! JHOVE 1.26 RC is out for community testing! Incl. 16 PDF, 4 xml, 2 epub, 2 png, 2 TIFF, 1 wave & 1 gif module fixes. Also, language is now configurable via config file! Thanks so much to @carlscode +all contributors & all @openpreserve members for sustaining this software!

@CHLThor @MickyLindlar @openpreserve Sorry @CHLThor, @MickyLindlar not ignoring this but travelling today. Will take a look over the hols. I'm 90% sure the problem lies in the Jenkins build somewhere and it's simply badly packaged.

@MickyLindlar @carlscode @openpreserve I removed the Ascii and UTF-8 modules from jhove.conf so commandline is working again. Running JHOVE still shows PDF-hul version 1.12.2, so its not seeing the new version. Not sure why.

@openpreserve @DLMForum @OpenSourceOrg @nestorNetzwerk @PDFAssociation @DigitaalErfgoed @Sarah_DPC @impactocr @NetPreserve Open source, specification, and file format. No cheating ;)

A little brain teaser for you on day 7 of the #OPFFestiveCountdown. Can you solve the anagrams to find the #digipres phrases? #DigitalPreservation

@ColinGavaghan @hgpennington Yes, “reality”.

Is there a word for utopian visions of the future, that turn out not to be all that utopian when you get them? Thanks @hgpennington for this spot-on slice of futurology from 1997.

@YvonneTunnat @openpreserve So a brief look and it depends. A dictionary enter comprises a key and value pair. Null values are denoted by the null keyword. IF JHOVE counts keys and values separately, including nulls, then it’s feasibly correct.
