Added the first finished working draft of the XSP specification for public review (SM)
Removed the XML and XSL specifications from the distribution (SM)
Fixed a deadlock problem in the cache system (DB)

Cocoon 1.3 - May 12 1999
(Donald Ball, Stefano Mazzocchi, Robb Shecter)

Included more detailed example of future XSP technology (under examples/xsp). Note: the Cocoon 1.x generation will not support XSP and they are currently being designed. A very very early access of the working draft is available under docs/xsp (SM)
Patched the Sun ProjectX parser wrapper to work with latest release. Added also a Sun printer class (RS)

Cocoon 1.2 - Apr 30 1999
(Stefano Mazzocchi, Donald Ball)

Improved documentation and cleaned things around (SM)
Changed versions of both OpenXML and XSL:P (SM)
Moved the core processing into a different class named Engine, first step to a complete servlet/application duality (SM)
Added the Cocoon status handler (SM)
Added a better user interface for the servlet and a nicer look to report errors (SM)
Added the OpenXML printer wrapper class that uses the new X3P API (DB)
Changed the initialization section to match exceptions thrown on different servlet platforms (SM).
Changed behavior to indentity transformation thru the DOM processors if no PI are found. Thanks to George T. Talbot for pointing it out (SM)

Cocoon 1.1.1 - Apr 5 1999
(Greg Ritter, Adrian Durkin, Stefano Mazzocchi)

Fixed a problem with the getClassloader() method returning null. Now Cocoon doesn't always use the internal properties file but adds hardcoded default values. This is because in Java 1.1 there is no getSystemClassloader() method (SM).
Included the updated versions of both OpenXML 1.0.5 and XSL:P 19990326 which should fix lots of bugs and improve the overall performance (SM)
Patched to avoid the use of File.toURL() method which is not found under the Java1 platform (SM, thanks to AD)
