See each plugin for its detailed changes.

Changes to Build

• Explicitly set the javac target@ to our defined base version. This fixed an issue with plugins being deployed by committers using more recent versions. Committed by DC. Thanks to Ron Blaschke.

Changes to the Code Base

• Enable configuration of some Cocoon sitemap components, e.g. output html encoding and document type declaration for html and xhtml serializers, JTidy properties file location for html generator. See FAQ Committed by DC. See Issue FOR-1071.
• Added initial whiteboard input plugin "skos". Handles input documents as Simple Knowledge Organisation Systems (SKOS), a set of specifications to support the representation of thesauri, classification schemes, taxonomies, etc. Committed by RDG. Thanks to Sina K. Heshmati. See Issue FOR-1004.
• Added initial whiteboard input plugin "foaf". Handles input documents in Friend of a Friend (FOAF) format. Committed by GM. Thanks to Oshani Senevira. See Issue FOR-1002.
• Added initial whiteboard input and output plugins "tei". These handle TEI-Lite Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). Committed by RDG.
• Enable PHP by default. See the FAQ. Thanks to Cyriaque Dupoirieux for the suggestion. Committed by DC.
• There was a partially implemented xml catalog with missing project symbols file. Only affected users of the 'seed-basic' template site. See notes in upgrading to v0.9 Committed by DC. See Issue FOR-1075.
• Images had not been reliably reproduced in PDFs (fop version prior to 0.94). The old way always expected a physical URI (file or http) the new fop URIResolver in the FOP-NG block delegates to Cocoon's SourceResolver framework, meaning images can be the result of a pipeline. Committed by TS. See Issue FOR-635.
• Moved fo- and pdf-generation completely into pdf-plugin as part of the upgrade to fop 0.94. See plugin docs for addition details. Committed by FSO.
• The "wholesite" html/pdf ability was broken with the locationmap. Committed by TS. See Issue FOR-733.
• Re-configured Forrest Zone to use SMF. Committed by GM. See Issue FOR-940.
• Fix unkown font error in FO generation. Committed by RDG. Thanks to Uwe Kreibaum. See Issue FOR-640.
• Added method to make URLs absolute in PDF via skinconf.xml. Committed by BMD. Thanks to Patrick Ohly. See Issue FOR-1013.
• Added method to disable table of contents in PDF via skinconf.xml. Committed by BMD. Thanks to Patrick Ohly. See Issue FOR-355.

Changes to Documentation

• Added document to facilitate upgrading to v0.9 Committed by DC.
• Fixed docs in several places to work with fop94 upgrade. Committed by FSO.
• Added demonstration of more xdoc elements to the sample document-v20 Committed by DC. Thanks to Carlos Tejo. See Issue FOR-1062.
• Enhance the "HowTo Generate an ASF mirrors page" doc to better explain. Refer to Forrest site-author as an example. This doc explains many things which are useful beyond the "ASF mirrors" example. It shows how to add a specialised HTML form to a forrest-based site, howto to include and exclude non-linked extra documents to the processing using the Cocoon CLI. Committed by DC.
• Refer to ForrestBar from How to do development with Apache Forrest as a way to easily view the internal processing steps. Committed by DC.

Changes to the Code Base

• Add initial DOAP plugin to Whiteboard. Committed by RDG.

• Added initial whiteboard input plugin "serverStatus". Uses the StatusGenerator to show Cocoon's operating environment and shows the contents of the cache stores. Committed by DC.
• Added initial whiteboard internal plugin "DevTools". Intended for various development-related tasks, e.g. publish a page to the local build directory from within 'forrest run'. Committed by RDG.
• Added initial whiteboard output plugin "Anakia". Output as the Anakia "xdoc" format. Committed by DC.
• Added initial whiteboard output plugin "php" to integrate php calls. Committed by CD.
• New skinconf parameter "disable-copyright-footer" (default=false) to not show the copyright notice in html page footer. Committed by DC.
• Added ForrestConfModule as the beginning of a new configuration system. Committed by RDG. See Issue FOR-588.
• A "half way" solution to using plugins in place. Note that if you modify your plugin code you will still need to do "ant local-deploy" to see the changes. This patch only ensures that the plugin is installed on the first run. Committed by RDG. See Issue FOR-388.
• Add new site seeding targets and a new business seed target. This allows for interactive creation of seed sites - existing 'forrest seed' behaviour is unchanged which is equivalent to 'forrest seed-sample'. New ones are 'forrest seed-business' and 'forrest seed-basic'. Committed by RDG.
• Added new "clean" targets. Doing 'forrest clean-site' will remove the contents of the project's generated documents directory. Doing 'forrest clean-work' will remove the project's work directories (usually build/tmp and build/webapp which include the Cocoon cache and the Cocoon logs). Doing 'forrest clean' will remove both sections. Committed by DC.
• Added initial whiteboard internal plugin "NoteTaking". Adds a form to a page that can be used to enter notes relating to the page. Committed by RDG.
• Clarify some confusing notes about site/@href in seeds xdocs/site.xml files. Committed by DC.
• Finish renaming of files for a-to-b.xsl naming convention. Committed by DG. See Issue FOR-697.

• Describe the status messages that are issued by Cocoon CLI during processing of each doc. Committed by DC.
• The broken-links file is now copied into to the site root as "broken-links.xml" so that when building with Forrestbot you can easily view it. Committed by RDG.
• Reviewed all sitemaps to use locationmap references (lm:). At the same time we changed filenames of core stylesheets to follow a filename convention (e.g. html2document.xsl => html-to-document.xsl) which enables automated locationmap matches. Thanks to the many people who were involved with addressing this issue. See the commit logs associated with FOR-200. Committed by RDG. Thanks to Community. See Issue FOR-200.
• Prototype of new xml-based properties system. Projects and plugins can use a forrest.properties.xml file. At this stage, it supplements the existing forrest.properties file. See the projectInfo plugin for an example of its use. Committed by RDG. See Issue FOR-588.
• Add notes about naming convention for locationmap references. Gathered from a ForrestFriday IRC session (thanks to Tim Williams for writing them up). See locationmap docs. Committed by RDG. Thanks to Community. See Issue FOR-200.
• Added initial whiteboard input plugin "XDoc". Forrest xdoc input to internal XHTML2. Committed by TWW.
• Added initial whiteboard internal plugin "xhtml2". Started work on xhtml in the core. Committed by RDG.
• Add Cocoon Validation Block. Uses transformers to enable RELAX NG validation and W3C XML Schema validation using Jing and Xerces. See documentation. Committed by DC. Thanks to Pier Fumagalli.

• Added initial whiteboard internal plugin for "GoogleSitemap". Access a list of pages in "Google Sitemap" format. Committed by RDG. Thanks to Rasik Pandey. See Issue FOR-597.
• Add WTP 0.7 compatability for Eclipse plugin. Clarify installation notes. Committed by RDG. Thanks to Alan Chandler.
• Use locationmap's mounting capability to allow selective project location overrides. Committed by TWW.
• Add locationmap selector based mounting (and project-based mounting). Committed by TWW.
• Add locationmap mounting capability. Committed by TWW.
• Added support for actions in the locationmap. Committed by TS.
• Plugins can now define their own *.xconf file to add configuration information to cocoon.xconf. Simply place your *.xconf file in PLUGIN_HOME/conf/*.xconf. Note that changes to this configuration file will not take effect until Forrest has been restarted. Committed by RDG.
• Added initial whiteboard output plugin for "voice". Read a document using a voice enabled browser such as Opera. Committed by RDG. Thanks to Tom HANAX. See Issue FOR-589.
• Strip remaining <i18n:text> elements that remain if i18n processing has been disabled. This was causing invalid HTML output. Committed by DC. See Issue FOR-592.
• Added a shell script to do some steps of the cocoon update process. Still there are some steps that should rather be done by a script, rather than committer interaction. Updated the readme to state that some steps could be done by the script. Diff Committed by TS.
• Refactored the view resolver code of the internal.view plugin. Created an action that is doing the same as before the combination of sitemap+xsl.
  Added 2 java classes to package org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.view.acting:
  1.FallbackResolverAction.java
  2.FallbackResolverHelper.java Committed by TS.
• Removed project.view-defaultView properties and added project.theme-extension instead. The combination of project.theme-extension and project.theme is equal to project.view-defaultView. Committed by TS.
• Added new elements to org.apache.forrest.conf.ForrestConfModule name="defaults":
  view-themes
  theme-ext
  theme
  Committed by TS.
• Removed "defaultView" and added new element to org.apache.forrest.conf.ForrestConfModule name="project":
  theme-ext Committed by TS.
• normalize-space() the forrest:properties before parsing them to the pipe Committed by TS.
• Use sets of symbols as xml entities for character replacement. There is a core set and each project can define a set. For example, use "&myp-t;" to represent the project name together with trademark symbol "My Project Name™". See FAQ. Committed by DC.
• Plugins can now define their own *.xconf file to add configuration information to cocoon.xconf. Simply place your *.xconf file in PLUGIN_HOME/conf/*.xconf. Note that changes to this configuration file will not take effect until Forrest has been restarted. Committed by RDG.
• New site seeding mechanism. You can now run "forrest seed" as before, or you can run "forrest seed-business". The later will ask a number of questions about the site being seeded (business name, description etc.) and will create a very simple site designed for business. To quickly see the results, i.e. avoid answering the questions, do "forrest seedTestBusiness". More seed sites will be added in the future. Committed by RDG.
• Added support for Locationmaps. This enables content to be retrieved from a location that is defined in a locationmap file. A project-based file can be located at PROJECT_HOME/src/documentation/content/locationmap.xml while core locationmaps are at $FORREST_HOME/main/webapp/locationmap-*.xml files.
  The advantage of this is that the URL seen by the user need bear no relation to the location of the source document, thus Forrest can separate the client URL space from the source document URL space. Thus, using the locationmap it is possible to pull together documents from many different locations into a single uniform site.
  In addition, since the user URL space is now unconnected to the source URL space it is possible to move source documents without breaking any existing user links.
  See locationmap docs for more information. Thanks to Unico Hommes for the original locationmap implementation which was added to Forrest long ago. Committed by RDG.
• Handling of document/header/version elements is now re-enabled. Committed by DC. See Issue FOR-973.
• Thanks to Gunther Sablon for reporting this issue. Plugins were not being deployed to a Webapp WAR file correctly. Committed by RDG. See Issue FOR-735.
• Hard coded URLs of versions causing maintenance issues in the generated Plugins Index. Use a parameter instead to construct the URL per version. Committed by DC. See Issue FOR-963.
• Fixes problem if contexts were not utilized in status.xml, an incorrect changes document would be generated. Committed by RDG. Thanks to Vadim Gritsenko. See Issue FOR-958.
• With comments & thanks also to Paul Kronenwetter, fixes a bug where duplicate apply-templates was causing duplicate content with span classes. Committed by SNM. Thanks to Vronk Duat. See Issue FOR-704.
• Fix caching problem that made a restart neccessary after making a locationmap resource location change. Committed by TWW. See Issue FOR-732.
• After doing 'forrest clean' then Forrest could not be run without network access, due to not being able to retrieve plugin descriptor files. Committed by DC. See Issue FOR-927.
• When using html as source, the "a" elements were not rendered properly if both @href and @name attributes. A side-effect of this fix is that now all other attributes such as @title or @target are copied over. Also removed the automated generation of @id attributes from @name attributes, which can lead to invalid IDs and other confusion. Committed by DC. Thanks to Jim Dixon. See Issue FOR-448.
• Remove xconf support for plugins. Cocoon has moved away from this XConfToolTask xpatch technique. Diff Committed by RDG.
• Enhanced the Message of the Day (MOTD) facility to enable specific matches. See skinconf.xml from a "seed" site for configuration details. The @starts-with=true anchors the URI string to the start, otherwise contains. To use it, declare skinconfig-v08-1.dtd in your skinconf.xml file. Committed by DC.
• Improved the autogenerated site linkmap.html page. Do not show empty links for group labels. Use a better title and introduction. Use @description if available. Committed by DC.
• Rename webapp build target to run-webapp to distinguish the resulting webapp from one suitable for deployment (use the war target for that) and provide a new xconf that is used in the war to ensure plugins can be found in war files Committed by RDG. See Issue FOR-735.
• FOR-924 Readding the loading from (default-)forrest.properties which got removed in r430588 when closing FOR-916. Thanks Martin Stockhammer for pointing it out, providing us with a patch and for your contribution. Committed by TS. Thanks to Martin Stockhammer. See Issue FOR-924.
• FOR-920 Merging the defaults and project modules to the new properties module. You can use it like {properties:forrest.home}, please refer to the update documentation how to change your {defaults:*} {project:*} and {forrest:*}. Committed by TS.
• FOR-800 - make forrest.properties.xml (as aggregation of all properties) aviable via cocoon://. The last remaining issue was implementing the Iterator getAttributeNames in the ForrestConfModule. To see all aviable properties add org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.inputModule and request cocoon://module.properties.properties. Committed by TS. See Issue FOR-800.
• FOR-916 - adding site-wide configuration files Applying patches from Mathieu Champlon. Thanks Mathieu for your contribution. Committed by TS. Thanks to Mathieu Champlon. See Issue FOR-916.
• Updated the forrest-core.xconf and declared the core components that are needed for flow. This makes it possible to use flow in forrest. Committed by TS. Thanks to David Crossley.
• Enabled i18n by default in fresh-site: as the default i18n config now requires an explicit locale specification (using an URL parameter for example), this shouldn't affect people who do not use i18n. Committed by BD.
• Completed the de and fr translations of the fresh-site, added fr and de versions of the index page as examples of language switching. Committed by BD.
• Moved LocaleAction and LocaleMatcher configurations to main sitemap, and changed I18nTransformer use to take locale info from enclosing LocaleAction everywhere. Committed by BD. See Issue FOR-887.

• Enable use of common character entities in skinconf.xml, e.g. accented characters and trademark symbols. Committed by DC. Thanks to Paul Devine.
• Changed handling of table elements with class-attributes in source: Table elements w/o class elements will receive standard Forrest styling like before (cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" class="ForrestTable") while elements that have class will pass unchanged. Note: To style tables with class elements like before you have to add styling code in the extra-css-section of skinconfig. Committed by FSO.
• Fixed problems with disappearing of id-attributes in img-element and several others. Committed by FSO.
• Added LocationmapSourceFactory.java. With this it is possible to request locationmap source via lm://my-location which makes it easier to use it without contacting a input module in java and any other files. Diff Committed by TS.
• Added variable.helper.xsl to the core, should be enhanced by matching the default.forrest.properties.xml. This xsl will produce all variables we use in skins to the new property system. Moved pathutils.xsl to the core from the skins. Diff Committed by TS.

• Fix various bugs with Lucene search. Committed by DC. Thanks to Florian G. Haas. See Issue FOR-246, FOR-431.
• Fixed quotes in forrest.bat so forrest can be in a directory with spaces. Committed by DB. Thanks to Gary Feldman. See Issue FOR-330.

This is a workaround for bug FOR-284 "link rewriting broken when linking to xml source views which contain site: links". This latter issue is handled by the core. However, if your project uses a Cocoon cli.xconf then you will need add the same "exclude" entries. Committed by DC. See Issue FOR-284.

Changes to Project Administration

• Moved forrestbot2 from scratchpad into main. Uses ant 1.6's 'import' task instead of XSLT/ant. Webapp completely rewritten to use JSTL, Struts, Java utility classes, and OpenSymphony's OSUser for flexible authentication. Committed by DB.

Changes to Build

• New 'clean-dist' target for build.xml, which is now the default target. Committed by DB. See Issue FOR-108.
• The 'validate-site' build target will validate the intermediate xdocs. Committed by JJP.
• Support running Forrest on Win9x. Committed by DB. Thanks to Pierrick Brihaye. See Issue FOR-113.
• Don't copy unneeded project files in 'war' and 'webapp' targets. Committed by DB. See Issue FOR-207.
• Add more descriptions to forrest targets. Highlight the most common ones. Committed by DB. See Issue FOR-216.

Changes to the Code Base

• Added initial whiteboard internal plugin "IMSManifest". Alternative navigation method. Generates menu links from IMS Manifests (Learning Objects). Committed by RDG.
• getMenu.js - fixes a path issue and the double click behaviour of pelt. Committed by TS.
• Explained the usage of the extra-css element in skinconf.xml of the fresh site. Committed by TS.
• Initial Chaperon grammar for minimal MoinMoin Wiki to Forrest xdocs transformation. Source documents use the *.moinwiki filename extension. Committed by DC. Thanks to Fabio Rinaldi. See Issue FOR-268.
• Requesting linkmap.html Forrest now renders the site.xml file as a table of contents. Committed by NKB.
• Now the *.ihtml and *.cwiki extensions are deprecated. To get the same functionality it is recommended to switch to *.html and *.jspwiki. With this it's now possible to have a site in simple html, edited with any html editor. The *.jspwiki extension was put to make it clear what the format is about. Committed by NKB.
• New project sitemap extension mechanism. Now it is possible to add a project sitemap that plugs into the processing at the beginning. If the requested url is resolved by it, it will serve the file directly. If the requested url with the extension changed to xml is matched, then Forrest will use that result as the intermediate format and render it. This will enable project-specific sitemaps to not collide with future Forrest updates. Committed by NKB.
• Added configuration for XMLMind XML Editor to scratchpad. Originally from splike.com Committed by DB.
• Automatically add some meta elements to head of html (Generator name, Forrest version, skin name) Committed by DC.
• Optional feedback link for the footer of all skins. Committed by DC.

• Now skin resources can be generated from skinconf.xml from xslt. For example '/myskin/css/my.css.xslt' is used by forrest on 'skinconf.xml' to get 'my.css' Committed by NKB.
• It is now possible to have two levels of tabs. Committed by NKB. Thanks to Ross Gardler. See Issue FOR-98.
• External links are now identified by a small trailing icon. The icon can be overridden by the skin and the behaviour can be disabled in skinconf.xml. Committed by NKB.
• Added new 'tigris' skin, by using exactly the same skin version 1.1. from the project Style at http://style.tigris.org/. This will completely replace the avalon-tigris skin in subsequent versions. The avalon-tigris skin is to be considered deprecated and no longer developed. Committed by NKB.
• Properties from ${user.home}/forrest.properties are loaded, after the project's forrest.properties and before the default-forrest.properties are. Committed by DB.
• New file format: '.aart'. These are text files that are converted automatically be Cocoon in SVG, if requested with a '.png' extension. Committed by NKB.

• Proper positioning of icon/links for PDF, XML, POD, Print content options on pelt skin. Committed by DC. Thanks to Arturo Vazquez.
• Allow forrest to run in a project directory with a space in the name. Committed by DB. See Issue FOR-267.
• Fixed the domain bug of the searchbox in pelt. Committed by TS.
• Fixed the menu in pelt by adding getMenu.js and changing the site2xhtml.xsl. Now the chapter image will get expand again. Committed by TS.
• Relative URIs with absolute paths were broken in the site.xml linking mechanism. Committed by DC. See Issue FOR-268.

• Moved all references to //skinconfig out of the document2html.xsl into the site2xhtml.xsl file. * Rationalized the Table of Contents stuff by creating a "toc" mode in the common/xslt/html/document2html.xsl. That is then used to generate the per-page ToC and the ToC attached to the menu. * Removed extraneous default xsl matchers on the non-common document2html and site2xhtml XSLs. This allows matches defined in the imported transformation sheets to match (imported sheets have lower precedence). * Defined a couple of <div id="..."> place holder tags used by the document2html. Those are then skinned by the site2xhtml sheets. * Note: If you have your own skins that were referencing "$config" or "//skinconfig" in the document2html.xsl then you need to make similar changes. * For more information see the FOR-146 issue report. Committed by DC. Thanks to Rick Tessner. See Issue FOR-146.

• Patched directory2book.xsl to be able to serve raw documents from the side menu (e.g. pdf); previously it always generated .html links. Committed by NKB. Thanks to Eric BURGHARD.
• Skins "forrest-css" and "avalon-tigris" are deleted. The "tigris-style" is renamed to "tigris". Aliases set in place for backward-compatibility. The old "forrest-site" and "krysalis-site" skins are retained for a little while longer, but are deprecated, so please move to one of the other skins. See notes about Default skins. Committed by DB. See Issue FOR-181.
• Remove 'template' skin; better to base a new skin on an existing one. Committed by DB.
• Clean up first Lucene search implementation in Forrest. Committed by JJP.
• The .ehtml files have been deprecated. Use .ihtml instead. Future html input support will be based on this discussion. Committed by DB. See Issue FOR-131.

• Updated Ant 1.6.2. Committed by AG.
• Have @class attribute in DTD for every element, which enables the "extra-css" section in the skinconf to be put to good use. Updated all v1.2 DTDs to become v1.3 DTDs (forward compatibility: v1.2 docs will work fine as V1.3). Updated the v2.0a DTDs to become v2.0 DTDs (forward incompatibility: v1.2/1.3 docs are not forward-compatible as V2.0). Added demo of extra-css to the seed site and updated some sample docs to use new v1.3 DTDs. See the samples and reference docs. See the issue report for full list of changes. Committed by DC.

• Support multiple skin descriptor files via the forrest.skins.descriptors property Committed by DB.
• Libraries are not copied anymore in the servlet context of the dist and of the project being built; they are added instead to the classpath of jetty for the 'run' target and of the Cocoon CLI for the default 'site' target. Committed by NKB.
• Upgrade to Jing 20030619. Committed by JJP.
• Validation is now "dynamic", by setting the parser feature "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/dynamic". This means that documents with DTD are fully validated, while documents without DTD are just checked for well-formedness. Committed by NKB.
• Removed xml2xhtml.xsl import in profile2page.xsl that was not used (file not present). Committed by RDG. Thanks to Juan Jose Pablos. See Issue FOR-59.
• New build target to build a webapp that can be distributed. "war" target depends on "code" which will produce an deployable webapp, "run" target depends on "webapp-local" which leaves many files in the project directory to ease editing (e.g. src, resources and skins) Committed by RDG. See Issue FOR-98.
• Upgrade to cocoon 2.1.3 nekodtd 0.1.9 remove excalibur-concurrent-20020820.jar remove excalibur-cli-1.0.jar remove excalibur-datasource-vm12-20021121.jar remove jakarta-oro-2.0.6.jar Committed by JJP.

• Updated Ant 1.6.0 Committed by AG.
• Refactored forrestbot to organize workstages and their implementations. Properties named by workstage and implementation for clarity and to prevent conflicts. Committed by DB.
• The 'clean-site' target appears in 'forrest -projecthelp'. Deletes temp, webapp, and brokenlinks files too. Committed by DB.
• Updated and separated in their directory all the resources needed by Chaperon, and make the pipeline generate the xml grammar versions if unavailable. This fixes some wiki rendering bugs and makes sections follow the correct level nesting. Committed by NKB.
• Now also all forrest /resources are editable in forrest.home and translations in their source space. Committed by NKB.
• Skins are now editable directly in FORREST_HOME. Committed by NKB. Thanks to Ross Gardler. See Issue FOR-85.

• All resources in skins/common/images|scripts are used if the corresponding resource is not found in the skin being used. Moved under these dirs the images and the scripts that were placed by default under resources/images or copied in each skin, and added a temporary sitemap rule to route the request of the images to the new location. Committed by NKB.
• Moved the images of fresh-site to the src/content/xdocs directory, for the new layout that has been decided on forrest-dev. Committed by NKB.
• Major update to inner working of the krysalis-site skin: - removed all use
