press v1.19.1
Print pack, registrations, and public-readiness: offline ISBN assignment from
an owned prefix, print-safe interior images that clear the Lulu file warnings,
a top-to-bottom Lulu printing guide and a parts-of-a-book guide, versioned
dependency/code/secret security controls, Python 3.14 support, and a
repository-metadata drift check.
Added
- Offline ISBN assignment (
press isbn): record the registrant prefix your
agency sold you asregistrations.isbn-block: {prefix, size}, and
press isbn assign print|epubmints the next unused ISBN-13 from it —
computing the check digit, hyphenating with the agency's own prefix
hyphenation, and writing it toregistrations.isbn.press isbn status
shows what is used and free; a malformed block failspress check, and an
exhausted block or an already-assigned edition is refused. There is no API
that issues an ISBN — you buy a prefix once, then assign from it offline.
Also addsregistrations.lccn_normalize(the Library of Congress canonical
LCCN form). - Python 3.14 is a supported and tested version. The suite and the desk pass
on 3.14; CI's package matrix runs it on Ubuntu alongside 3.10-3.13, the
wheel declares the per-minor classifiers,press doctortreats 3.14 as
in-range, and the installation and compatibility docs name the 3.10-3.14
range (#168). - A scheduled
Repository metadataworkflow asserts the repository's
discovery configuration cannot silently drift: the homepage points at the
docs site, the default branch ismain, wiki and projects stay disabled,
and the topics remain set. It runs weekly and on demand, read-only (#165). - Print-safe interior images (
press.print_safe): theprinttarget now
flattens transparency onto white and caps image resolution, so a
print-on-demand vendor sees no transparency and no image over 600 PPI. A
pandoc Lua filter redirects manuscript figures to the sanitized copies under
build/print-assets/, and the generated front matter's logo follows; the
reading PDF is unchanged. On the reference book this cleared both Lulu file
warnings and roughly halved the interior PDF. A book with a hand-authored
title page points its own logo atbuild/print-assets/to match. - A top-to-bottom Lulu printing guide:
which two files to upload, why the cover wrap fits Paperback Perfect Bound
(and not the hardcover/dust-jacket templates), the Lulu settings that must
match a book's config, the two advisory file warnings press produces (the
transparent logomark and its ~602 PPI placement) with their fixes, and a
troubleshooting table. - A task-oriented guide, the parts of a book, covering
how to add each common part: the byline, the generated front matter
(dedication, epigraph, acknowledgements, colophon), the author portrait, an
about-the-author page, further-reading and glossary pages, footnotes, the
index, and the sources-and-authorities bibliography. It leads with the
press configcommands and is honest about which parts are authored
Markdown rather than configuration. - Versioned security controls (#154): a Dependabot config covering the
Python package, the pinned GitHub Actions, and the toolchain base image
(weekly, grouped); a CodeQL workflow analyzing the Python package on every
pull request, push to main, and weekly; and a dependency-review workflow
that fails a pull request adding a high-severity vulnerable dependency.
Each new workflow runs at least privilege and uploads nothing to a third
party.
