Technical lead for @openpreserve, bit geeky, computers are my friends.

The full release notes for the 1.24 release candidate are available on GitHub here: https://t.co/JC4XsPZNF8

[OPF @openpreserve]

We are thrilled to announce that the veraPDF 1.24 release candidate is out now! veraPDF is an open-source, industry-supported PDF/A validator and part of the #OPF reference toolset to further #DigitalPreservation efforts. Find out more here: https://t.co/Bt2Mgn9OrT

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

[OPF @openpreserve]

Great news! The second release candidate for #JHOVE 1.28 is now available for testing. Read the full release notes here: https://t.co/EdM1wEX8Dg #DigitalPreservation

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

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: https://t.co/F9T63Mux7h

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

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

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

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

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

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

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.

[OPF @openpreserve]

We want to celebrate the release features for JHOVE 1.28. Your reports may look a bit different, but we hope better; no more duplicates, + messages are now sorted in offset order #digipres #digitalpreservation #opensource

@bryony_hooper This is a pretty good general guide: https://t.co/brpWef6Z7M
While this one has a bit of a data "slant": https://t.co/lp5FpX0Lxn
Finally, if you want to learn by example, this is quite a nice curated list of standout READMEs:

Good luck.

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

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

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

@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.

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

@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.

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

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

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

@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.

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

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

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

@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.

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

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

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

@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.

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

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

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

@ColinGavaghan @hgpennington Yes, “reality”.

[Carl Wilson @carlscode]

@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.
