| |
| Note: This development version may differ from the final announcement. |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Apache Forrest is pleased to release version 0.6 |
| http://forrest.apache.org/mirrors.cgi |
| |
| Apache Forrest is an XML standards-oriented documentation framework |
| based upon Apache Cocoon, providing XSLT stylesheets and schemas, |
| images and other resources. Forrest uses these to render the source |
| content into a website via command-line, robot, or dynamic application. |

| |
| New features in this version include: |
| |
| * Uses all resources in-place. No more copying to a separate |
| build space and so no need to back-copy your changes. |
| * This provides workflow and productivity improvements. |
| * Project sitemaps get first chance processing, then pass-through |
| to core sitemaps. This simplifies management of project sitemaps. |
| * Project sitemaps provide easy access to the power of Apache Cocoon. |
| * New skins use CSS rather than tables. Old skins are deprecated. |
| * Skins are configurable, e.g. with colours and optional features. |
| * DTD improvements, especially addition of ubiquitous class attribute. |
| * Forrestbot, robotic build and deploy, has been entirely re-written. |
