Updated the parser interface to allow better entity evaluation. :) (SM)
Added Xerces and Xalan support which now become the default components (finally!). :) (SM)
Removed XML4j and LotusXSL support. (SM)
Removed support for Oracle products since it was too difficult to maintain it due to requirement that Oracle XSLT processor worked on Oracle own DOM implementation. (SM)

	Cocoon 1.5 (October 29 1999)

Fixed concurrency problem in XML4j parser. (SM) Thanks to Jeffrey Thomas Harris.
Added JRun installation instructions. (SM) Thanks to Scott Stirling.
Added more info on the Cocoon status page. (SM) Thanks to David Lehn.
Patched OpenXML that had a bug in the XML publisher that didn't support doctypes imposed from the outside. This was breaking the WML formatter. (SM)
Patched XSL:P to support <xsl:processing-instruction> instead of <xsl:pi> which is now deprecated. This makes XSL:P a hybrid between XSLT revisions but it's easier this way than to create two sets of examples that work with latest and oldest releases of XSLT. Hopefully XSLT will standardize soon. (SM)
Fixed XML4J support bug. (SM) Thanks to Jeffrey Thomas Harris.
Added XSL:P Formatters. (SM)
Updated XSL:P to build 19991017. (SM)

Changed Cocoon illegal PIs from <?cocon:xxx?> to <?cocoon-xxx?>. (SM) Thanks to Tim Bray.


	Cocoon 1.4 (September 13 1999)

Fixed portability issues with JRun and Sun's JSWDK. (SM) Thanks to Hannes Haug.
Added parsed stylesheets caching capabilities to the AbstractXSLTProcessor: now if produced files are changed but stylesheets don't, the second are not reparsed, improving the system performance since this is a very frequent case. (SM)
Reduced the memory footprint of some classes by initializing the hashtables to lower values than default. (SM)
Improved the speed of PI searching by looking for first found PI instead of scanning the whole file. (SM)
Updated the cocoon processing instructions that drive the reaction: <?cocoon:process?> drives the processing reaction, <?cocoon.format?> indicates the formatter used to end processing and format the document. (SM)
Removed the processor pipeline and replaced with a reactor-type router with PI-based reaction. (SM)
Moved the example classes in their own package for easier installation and testing. (SM)
Modified a number of classes to fit the new Store and Cache subframeworks. (SM)
Added a first implementation of the Cache interface based on dynamic evaluation of changeable points. (SM)

Included XSL:P Version 1.0 Beta (19990823) that supports latest XSLT specification (19990421). (SM) Thanks to Keith Visco.
Introduced the Actor/Director concept to allow cleaner implementation and configuration of dynamically loaded objects. (SM)
Added the WAP example to show how Cocoon can serve the same content to fat HTML clients and thin WML clients such as WAP-enabled cellular phones or PDA. (SM)

Added request and cache as parameters for the processor chain as requested by more sophisticated processors. (SM)
Changed the cache system interface to match new needs. (SM)
Changed the printing architecture. Now, you don't need to specify the type of formattation but the publishing system will understand it for you (based on processing instructions and the specified document type). (SM)
Added white paper on the Cocoon 2 architecture for public review. (SM)
Fixed typos, added support for more detailed verbosity and fixed a path-parsing bug for win32 systems. (SM) Thanks to Paul O'Rorke.

	Cocoon 1.1.1 (Apr 5 1999)
