Deprecated targets

The configuration-jar Ant target used during the plug-in integration process has been deprecated and may be removed in an upcoming release. This was previously used to package additional configuration files and properties into lib/dost-configuration.jar, but recent versions of DITA-OT include the config directory in the classpath for this purpose, so the configuration JAR is no longer necessary.

Secure connections to the plug-in registry To ensure data integrity during the plug-in installation process, Transport Layer Security (TLS) will soon be required to access the plug-in registry. If you are using DITA-OT 3.2 or 3.2.1 and are unable to upgrade to the latest version, modify the registry key in the config/configuration.properties file to switch the URI schema to https://, so the entry reads https://plugins.dita-ot.org/.
