Dear all, We are pleased to announce that the first release candidate for JHOVE 1.28 <https://openpreservation.org/news/first-jhove-1-28-release-candidate-out-now/?q=3> is now available for testing.
This release represents a real effort to clear the historic contribution backlog for JHOVE <https://openpreservation.org/tools/jhove/>. The remaining pull requests are either documentation contributions or require more analysis. We received a large number of fixes and improvements from contributors around the world. We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and effort to this release. Major new features of version 1.28 include: - Finally, all messages have IDs, and we’ve removed the code that allows the creation of new ones without IDs. - JHOVE will no longer report duplicate messages,| which should yield shorter reports. - A number of improvements to the PDF module, many of which address files that caused loop or overflow errors. - Fixed a bug that caused an endless loop for some TIFF files and minor TIFF processing improvements. - Improvements to NISO metadata handling. - Java 17 compatibility.
