06 October 2003 - 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/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:

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

DOAP File

Apache Forrest is a publishing framework that transforms input from various sources into a unified presentation in one or more output formats. The modular and extensible plugin architecture is based on Apache Cocoon and relevant standards, which separates presentation from content. Forrest can generate static documents, or be used as a dynamic server, or be deployed by its automated facility.
