Yes it is a strange message with forrest-0.7 that is ignorable.

That is not what i recall.

At the time, 0.7 was the current release of Forrest.
The XML Commons project has not updated to Forrest-0.8 yet.
So the Commons documentation still says that 0.7 is the
agreed version in use.

The reason is as Tim described in another message today.
See my later reply there.
