+<s3 title="Changes since &xslt4j; version 1.2.1">
+<p>We have applied a single enhancement to this release</p>
<ul>
-<li>Gary Peskin upgraded &xslt4j; to work with Xerces-Java
1.2.1.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Benoit Cerrina submitted a Tokenizer extension function. For more
information, see <jump
href="apidocs/org/apache/xalan/xslt/extensions/Tokenizer.html">Tokenizer</jump><br/><br/></li>
-<li>Benoit Cerrina also submitted an enhancement to improve error reporting
when an extension element is not found.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Gary Peskin fixed a bug where the procesor reset() method was not
resetting the list of stylesheet parameters passed in from a Java
program.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Gary Peskin fixed a bug so that xsl:fallback elements are no longer
executed when the parent extension function is implemented and it processes its
own children (like redirect:write).<br/><br/></li>
-<li>John Ky submitted a fix to improve how Xalan handles whitespace
stripping and empty text nodes. As a result the HTMLFormatter no longer inserts
line breaks before font, s, strike, and nobr elements.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Myriam Midy fixed a bug in which a global variable was reported to be
out of scope when referenced by another variable.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Myriam Midy also fixed a bug evaluating global variables when processing
SAX input.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Myriam Midy fixed a bug in which the default XSLT processor was failing
to shift to the Xerces liaison and DOM parser to process DOM
input.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Ritesh Kumar submitted a fix to the sample servlet to correctly obtain
the server port from the HttpServletRequest object.</li>
+<li>Working with Gary Peskin, Myriam Midy has posted a change to the
procedure for resetting top-level stylesheet parameters between transformations
that you perform with a given XSLTProcessor object: when you want to clear all
xsl:param settings that will be submitted to the stylesheet for the next
transformation, call the new <jump
href="apidocs/org/apache/xalan/xslt/XSLTProcessor.html#resetTopLevelParams()">XSLTProcessor
resetTopLevelParams()</jump> method.</li>
</ul>
+<p><em>Situation:</em> You are using an XSLTProcessor to perform multiple
transformations with a stylesheet that contains one or more
+xsl:param elements. Each time you perform a transformation, you can use the
XSLTProcessor setStylesheetParam() method to assign a value to
+each of these xsl:param elements. Once you have set a parameter, that
setting remains in place. The XSLTProcessor reset()
+method that you are required to call between transformations no longer
attempts to clear xsl:param settings. Before you perform the next
transformation, you can use setStylesheetParam() to assign a new value to a
parameter. &xslt4j-current; adds a new XSLTProcessor method that you can call
to clear all parameter settings that you have made: resetTopLevelParams(). Call
this method whenever you want to clear all xml:param settings that you have
made with an XSLTProcessor.</p>
+<p>If you run across a problem with &xslt4j;, we strongly encourage you to
write a patch and submit it to <human-resource-ref idref="xalandev"/>. We will
review it to make sure it doesn't break something else, and (assuming it
doesn't) include it in our next release. In the interest of fixing bugs, adding
enhancements, and addressing a host of thorny design issues, we sincerely want
(and need!) your active participation in the ongoing development of Xalan.</p>
