	Cocoon 1.7.3 (May 6 2000)

Added code to XSLTProcessor to not import request parameters whose names are not valid XML Qnames and code to XalanTransformer to quote request parameter values to bypass the expression parsing routines. (DB)
Added column formatting to XSP SQL taglib. (DB)
Documented all XSP SQL taglib configuration options. (DB)
Added ability to recognize Servlet 2.1 container and get cocoon.properties as a ServletContext resource. This should ease installation on Tomcat. (SM) Thanks to Paul Lamb.
Cleaned the docs a little, fixed some typos and extended the cocoon2 sitemap example. (SM)

Updated build scripts (mostly esthetics for easier administration). (SM)
Fixed some typos and mistakes in documentation. (SM) Thanks to Mike Rossellini.
Fixed a problem with the cache monitor that was not updating the timestamp after a change so the cache was disabled after one of multiple stylesheets where updated. Now it works as expected. (SM)
Fixed possible encoding problem in stylesheet loading. (SM)
Updated Xalan to version 1.0.1. (SM)
Added new samples. (SM)
Fixed a problem with XSP where PIs contained the string xsp. (SM) Thanks to Raphaël Luta.

Fixed a problem with document stylesheets that messed up anchors. (SM) Fixes bug 91.
Added ability to specify formatting information from the cocoon property file instead of having to create a custom formatter every time. Also fixed the output encoding problem since now a specific encoding for the output stream can be forced. (SM) Fixes bug 90.
Added XML encoding prediction to fix the encoding problem for ProducerFromFile. Cocoon should now work with all encoding supported by the XML parser used. (SM) Fixes bug 83.
Added ability to call "hasChanged" from inside the XSP engine to avoid dynamic page regeneration even XSP pages. (SM) Thanks to Robin Green.

Fixed a thread-safety problem with Xalan. (SM)
Patched Ant to remove dependency on Sun ProjectX and fixed problem for javadoc not working if tools.jar not set in classpath. (SM)
Added the ant scripts that were left over from my environment. Now I removed everything from my environment, even the classpath is empty.. so I'll be experiencing more what newbies do. This fixes some problems with javadoc and classpaths not being correct. (SM)
Fixed bug in XSP processor that wasn't using URL to find out for user-defined taglib logicsheets. (SM)

Patched memory usage and tested under heavy load. (SM)
Fixed installation instructions to make it easier for newbies to get going. Anyway, if you still find it hard, help us instead of complaining :) (SM)
Patched build system with Ant upgrades. Now it is possible to build Cocoon even if not all the used packages are present, this because some of the compilation targets will react on class presence and skip themselves. (SM)
Added library with all the required jar files for ease of installation. (SM)
Leave DCP out in configurations by default. Now DCP is considered obsolete and will be removed in future versions. (SM)
Removed ProducerFromMap. (SM)

Added the ability to return HTTP error messages from Cocoon. (SM)
Added dummy methods to EngineWrapper for JSDK 2.2 compatibility (DB) Thanks to Brett McLaughlin.
Added ProducerFromMap as a sitemap primer. (DB)
Added Tomcat installation instructions. (SM) Thanks to Brett McLaughlin.
Moved a few things around in ColumnFormatter so that it's possible for columns to be formatted as more than simply a text node (e.g. embedded HTML). Also added a little formatter that can transform \n into <br> for text and varchar columns. (DB)
Added new classes to SQLProcessor to do column-specific date formatting. (DB) Thanks to Ed Ward.
Add new producer for POST document processing, also useful for use of Cocoon as a module (see EngineWrapper). (SM) Thanks to Gerrit Hiddink.

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.

Fixed XML4J support bug. (SM) Thanks to Jeffrey Thomas Harris.
Added XSL:P Formatters. (SM)
Updated XSL:P to build 19991017. (SM)

Updated the examples to reflect the changes. (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)

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)
Removed the need for a properties file in DCP. (SM)
Fixed a minor bug in Configurations. (SM) Thanks to Hannes Haug.
Added the Producer subframework for easier dynamic XML generation. (SM)
Rewritten and cleaned up the formatting section using the Router abstract class. (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)

Fixed typos, added support for more detailed verbosity and fixed a path-parsing bug for win32 systems. (SM) Thanks to Paul O'Rorke.

Fixed a deadlock problem in the cache system. (DB)


	Cocoon 1.3 (May 12 1999)

Included more detailed example of future XSP technology. (SM)
Patched the Sun ProjectX parser wrapper to work with latest release. Added also a Sun printer class. (SM) Thanks to Robb Shecter.

	Cocoon 1.1.1 (Apr 5 1999)

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)
