[ANN] Apache Cocoon 2.1.2 Released

Apache Cocoon 2.1.2 Released
----------------------------

The Apache Cocoon Community is proud to announce the new release
of Apache Cocoon.

Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concept
of separation of concerns (that is: allowing people to do their job
without having to step on each other toes) and component-oriented web 
RAD.

Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component
pipelines' modelled after the 'process chain' concept where each 
worker specializes on a particular operation. This makes it possible
to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in building web solutions where
these components can be hooked together into pipelines without
requiring further programming.

We like to think at Cocoon as "web glue" for your web application
development needs. But most important, a glue that can keep 
concerns separate and allow parallel evolution of the two sides, 
improving development pace and reducing the chance of conflicts.

[ANN] Apache Forrest 0.5.1 released

The Forrest team is pleased to announce the release of
Apache Forrest 0.5.1.  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 0.5.1 is a bugfix release over 0.5.  Most notably, it comes with an
updated Cocoon (2.1.2) which fixes a bug in the command-line where certain
pages in a site weren't rendered (FOR-66).  Other bugfixes include:

 - Added obfuscate-mail-links skinconf.xml option, on by default  (FOR-67)
 - Fix forrest-site tables bug that broke Opera  (FOR-65)
 - Fixed URLs for comma-separated bug keys in status.xml
 - In skinconf.xml, made project-description optional to keep compatibility
   with 0.4.
 - forrest.antproxy.xml script now properly fails when Cocoon fails
 - Fix bugs in forrest.bat|sh scripts encountered when used in odd environments
   (perl and Win9x).  (FOR-47, FOR-48)
 - The 'forrest' command no longer sources /etc/antrc and ~/.antrc, which
   solves problems on some *nix distributions.
