History

rnc2rng was originally written by David Mertz in 2003 and published as
part of a collection of files around RELAX NG on his site into the Public
Domain. Hartmut Goebel published it as a package on PyPI to make it easier to
access. It was mirrored on GitHub by Dustin J. Mitchell in 2010 after he fixed
some bugs. Timmy Zhu forked his repository and contributed further
enhancements. Recently, I (Dirkjan Ochtman) was interested in playing with
RELAX NG Compact and started making further updates. I asked Hartmut for
maintainership on PyPI and received it. While I cannot promise many updates, I
should be responsive to bug reports and (especially!) pull requests.
