In conjunction with MindTouch Deki v8.08.1 “Kilen Woods,” we’re also releasing updated versions of MindTouch Dream and SgmlReader.

MindTouch Dream 1.5.6

MindTouch Dream is a .NET REST framework for developing lightweight, highly decoupled web-services. It runs on Microsoft .NET 2.0 and Novell Mono 1.2. Dream is the foundation for web-oriented architecture of MindTouch Deki. Learn more about Dream here.

IMPORTANT: of high importance in this release is the change of license for Dream, which is now licensed under Apache License v2. This makes it easier to embed Dream into other projects or reuse parts of the library without having to worry about licensing.

SgmlReader 1.8.1

SgmlReader is a versatile .NET library written in C# for parsing HTML/SGML files. The original community around SgmlReader used to be hosted by GotDotNet, but it has been phased out. MindTouch Dream and MindTouch Deki use extensively the SgmlReader library. We found and fixed a few bugs in it as well. In the spirit of the original author, we’re providing back these changes.

• Fixed an infinite loop bug when parsing unclosed comments
• Fixed a debilitating bug where equal elements where no longer consider equal after a while
