• full changelog

v0.7 is out 🙂

supports

A list of standards, regulations, frameworks or systems that the software supports or complies with. Each item has an id, which is either an alias from the list of aliases (e.g. alias:gdpr) or any valid URI (URL or URN) pointing to the resource directly.

supports:
  - id: alias:gdpr
  - id: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj

Country specific sections are deprecated

The country specific sections, including the Italian it one, are now deprecated.

They were slow to evolve and a bit of a design smell, and supports covers the same need in a generic, extensible way. They are still valid in v0 but will be removed in v1, so it's a good time to start moving off them.

This is one of the v1 roadmap items landing early in v0. (v0.6.0 had no changes to the standard itself.)

Also, road to v1

Work towards v1 is happening on the 1.0-rc branch. It's not a release yet and if you want to shape v1, that's the place to look and comment. Help welcome.

Implementation wise, work is carried on in the v1 branch of publiccode-parser-go (italia/publiccode-parser-go#396)
