The Forrest team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Forrest 0.3. The release is available at http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/xml/forrest/
Blurb ----- Forrest (http://xml.apache.org/forrest/) is an XML standards-oriented project documentation framework built on Apache Cocoon, providing XSLT stylesheets and schemas, images and other resources. Forrest uses these to render the XML source content into a website via command-line, robot (see http://forrestbot.cocoondev.org), or a dynamic web application. Status ------ Forrest 0.3 incorporates two months of improvements and bugfixes since 0.2. Most of the changes are incremental, and backwards-compatibility with 0.2 has been maintained. Compared to 0.2, the main changes are: - Generated URI spaces are much cleaner, with meaningful fragment identifiers generated from @ids or <title>s. - A new 'krysalis-site' skin (eg, at http://ws.apache.org/). - All skins are valid HTML 4.0.1, with an XHTML 1.0 skin in the works. - FAQ rendering has been greatly improved (see http://xml.apache.org/forrest/faq.html). - The need for a book.xml per directory has been removed in favour of a central site.xml file defining the entire site. book.xml is still fully supported. - One can now link to an abstract node in site.xml, which is translated at runtime to the actual href. Eg, <site href="site:faq/how_can_I_help"> might become <a href="http://xml.apache.org/forrest/faq.html#how_can_I_help";>. Likewise, <link href="ext:xhtml2"> might become <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2";>. More info at http://xml.apache.org/forrest/linking.html - Flexible handling of raw non-Forrest-generated content. Hand-generated HTML may be copied across unmodified, or have just the header/menu added. - Alternative doc formats, including subsetted HTML and Wiki formats. An incomplete Docbook stylesheet is looking for a developer. - Forrest no longer clobbers xdocs edited in build/webapps.
