• Accidental [skip-revcheck] (Only checks for [skip-revcheck] at start of commit messages #181)

Idempotent build

• Create doc-base/temp and .gitkeep it (Idempotent build: doc-base/temp #200)
• Rewrite file-entities.ent.in to use temp/ (Idempotent build: file-entities.php #201)
• Change configure.php to be a little more idempotent (Idempotent build: configure.php #202)
• Change manual.xml.in into stable manual.xml (Idempotent build: manual.xml.in  #210)
• Move .manual.xml to temp/ (coordinated)
• Move all remaining .gitignore entries to temp/ (coordinated)

Configure

• List of active languages on `doc-base (New tool local language repositories #186)
• Nested/recursive XIncludes (Recursive XInclude support and some automatix fixups for translations #194)
• XInclude failures less fatal on translations (Document and complement XInclude failures as warnings on translations #196)
• XInclude by xml:id (XInclude by xml:id  #198)
• Include post validation tools on configure.php (broken, revtag, entities). (Post check individual XML files for know issues #241)
• XML Entities (XML Entities, individual and grouped #183)
• Split language-snippets.ent
• Convert all other .ent files to normal XML

Performance/tools

• Avoid file entities for directories as individuai files (Create separated files for directory file-entities #218)
• Rewrite sync XML for Attributes (Command line tool for XML sync testing between languages: attributes #215)
• Rewrite sync XML for Entities (Command line tool for XML sync testing between languages: entities #219)
• Rewrite sync XML for Processing Instructions (Command line tools for XML sync testing between languages #222)
• Rewrite sync XML for Tags (Command line tools for XML sync testing between languages #222)
• Rewrite sync XML for Whitespace (Command line tools for XML sync testing between languages #222)
• Move generation of sources.xml and version.xml at the end of configure.php (PhD stuff at end of configure.php #239)
• Sync XML tools to accept language parameter and simple file listing (Add --lang and file listing to sync XML tools #275)

Clean up / TODOs

• Trim local repository status on configure.php (Show non default branch in git status #205)
• Remove $mixin from doc-base/scripts/file-entities.php (Windows related changes, ahead/behind only current branch #207)
• Remove BACKPORT from doc-base/scripts/file-entities.php (Remove backports, alert for insensitive file systems, and bundled file entity for directories #213)
• Rewrote $mixin as an check/error on all OS (Remove backports, alert for insensitive file systems, and bundled file entity for directories #213)

Failed

• R&D alternative for file entities/inclusions (may affect XInclude).
  -- Need XInclude 1.1 processor to work (set-xml-id). Not even planned for libxml.

---

Not discussed, just a list of dreams and/or pet peeves

• Make <?phpdoc more general
• Remove all mentions of <xi:fallback>, XML and code
• Mentoring translations about XInclude failures and qaxml alerts
