The Forrest team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Forrest 0.2. Introduction & History ----------------------
Forrest is an XML standards-oriented project documentation framework based 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, or a dynamic web application. This is Forrest's first public release. Forrest was originally envisioned [1] as a Sourceforge-like documentation management framework for xml.apache.org projects. Eleven months later, Forrest is a much more focused, generic system. - All xml.apache.org assumptions have been eliminated: Forrest can be used in any project. - Forrest's cross-project goals have been put on hold while effort is put into making Forrest a good single-project tool. Status ------ Forrest is currently experiencing rapid growth, and this release is made in the spirit of "release early and often". To quote from the release notes: This 0.2 release is believed to be stable, and is in use by many projects (including xml.apache.org). However, forrest-dev explicitly DOES NOT intend to maintain the degree of accountability and backwards-compatibility intended for future 0.x releases. This 0.2 release is made primarily to meet user demand, to solicit feedback, and to give the Forrest community a trial run in the process of Forrest releases. Downloads --------- Forrest 0.2 can be downloaded in binary or source form from: http://cvs.apache.org/~jefft/forrest/releases/0.2/ Please also take time to read the release notes: http://cvs.apache.org/~jefft/forrest/releases/0.2/RELEASE-NOTES-0.2.txt which contains important information about known bugs.
