[ANN] Apache Forrest 0.5 released
The Forrest team is pleased to announce the release of
Apache Forrest 0.5. 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
------
Significant progress has been made in the seven months since Forrest 0.4.
New features include:
* 70%-300% faster, thanks to the new command-line interface in Cocoon
2.1.1
* Ability to generate a single PDF/HTML of the entire site
* New flexible tab/menu system [1]
* Numerous skin improvements, including Javascript-controlled menus,
handling of <abstract> and <version>, configurable mini-toc depth,
menu tooltips, and a new pure CSS variant of standard skin.
* DTD improvements (v11 replaced with v12, and v20 in development)
* Rudimentary Docbook support
* Wiki support [2]
* Improved PDF output
Under the hood, the monolithic sitemap has been divided into functional
categories and logical layers [3], with the aim of making Forrest sites
easier to maintain, and new features easier to add.
The full list of changes is viewable at:
http://xml.apache.org/forrest/changes.html
An Upgrade Guide is available at:
http://xml.apache.org/forrest/upgrading_05.html
Please send feedback to forrest-dev@xml.apache.org (after subscribing).

Congratulations on getting the release out!
It looks like my request to have Forrest 0.5 released using fop-0.20.5
instead of fop-0.20.5rc3a missed it by 'that' much... Anyway, please put
it into the pipeline, so the change gets in before the 0.6 release. Thanks!

I am afraid that you can not ... because we are
now using "mirror" sites for downloads.
