AppData Validation Tool Update

There’s a new version of the AppData validation tool, now with all the reported bug fixed, and a lot of new tests added.

Get it while it’s hot, appdata-tools-0.1.2.tar.xz or I’ve built Fedora RPMs too.

Please yell if you think you’ve written a valid file, and it fails to validate using the tool. We’re now being a lot more strict on things like formatting and the length of paragraphs. Thanks!

  1. I’ve written a valid file and it fails to validate. The name of the program is 0 A.D., but the tool complains that names can’t end with dot. I understand it’s kinda exception. Just letting you know.
