Dear all,

We are pleased to announce that the first release candidate for JHOVE 1.28
<https://openpreservation.org/news/first-jhove-1-28-release-candidate-out-now/?q=3>
is now available for testing.

This release represents a real effort to clear the historic contribution
backlog for JHOVE <https://openpreservation.org/tools/jhove/>. The
remaining pull requests are either documentation contributions or require
more analysis. We received a large number of fixes and improvements from
contributors around the world. We’d like to say a huge thank you to
everyone who volunteered their time and effort to this release.

Major new features of version 1.28 include:

   - Finally, all messages have IDs, and we’ve removed the code that allows
   the creation of new ones without IDs.
   - JHOVE will no longer report duplicate messages,| which should yield
   shorter reports.
   - A number of improvements to the PDF module, many of which address
   files that caused loop or overflow errors.
   - Fixed a bug that caused an endless loop for some TIFF files and minor
   TIFF processing improvements.
   - Improvements to NISO metadata handling.
   - Java 17 compatibility.
