[lsb-discuss] LSB Navigator 1.9.9

[Denis Silakov]

Hi all,

I am glad to introduce a new version of LSB Navigator which incorporates 
results of the GSoC 2012 project and other important improvements

New version is available to bazaar, hopefully it will be deployed in 
production soon.

Note that the number of modifications is rather huge and despite of 
throughout testing, there can be issues left. Feel free to report any 
problems you discover to LSB Bugzilla.

The list of changes is like the following:

New features
* PDO driver is now used instead of mysqli
* Many queries are rewritten to be more compatible with the SQL standard
* Completely redesigned 'Everywhere' search results: instead of a huge 
single page with ToC, we now use several tabs with results for different 
kinds of artifacts (similar to the tabs used in the AppChecker)
* In tables with search results for some element (in particular, in all 
tables from the 'Everywhere' search page) it is now possible to sort 
rows according to values of any column
* Library sonames in the 'Libraries shipped with application' page are 
now clickable and lead to a page displaying detailed information about 
library with given soname
* In declaration of complex types, members added in later LSB version 
than the type itself, are marked with appropriate comments
* 'Distribution compliance page' (available in the admin mode only) now 
takes into account modules of interpreted languages
* When displaying documentation URL for interface marked as 'not 
documented' in the db, Navigator now adds a warning that the 
documentation doesn't contain description of the interface itself
* In the list of symbols used by application, for symbols for which we 
can't decide from which library they come from, Navigator displays list 
of libraries required by application for which the database has no data 
(it is likely that symbols in question come from one of these libraries).

Bug Fixes
* 'Status in LSB: included' was sometimes incorrectly displayed for 
library sonames never been in LSB
* Search for 'ld-lsb' provided no result
