XRNActorsModel XSLT model
Added the 'expandActorName' parameter that indicates whether the actor identifiers ('ID' attribute) should be expanded against their display name, when available in the actors XML files.
Added the 'equalizeCase' parameter that indicates whether the actor identifiers should be all equalized as far as the case is concerned (in lower case). This solves the problem of the same actor being entered with various cases, and thus not being recognized as the same actor.

Java plug-in
The Java plug-in feature is delivered as very alpha.
This feature enables to open the framework by proposing additional views on the pieces of information present in the release notes.
Plug-in should be asked by end-users, developed by developers and used when running the Ant XRN task and set the parameters that enable to use the plug-in.
On that purpose, the inner 'javaPlugin' XML element has been added to the XRN task. This is a derivation from the Ant built-in 'Path' core element. Moreveover, its mandatory 'classFQN' attribute enables to indicate the Fully Qualified Name of the class that implements a plug-in.

software

In order to compile the Ant Java source code. This is required because we want to work on fix version of Ant, so as to make sure that is actually Ant V1.5+ compatible. This Ant distribution also contains the necessary 'ant.jar' (for compiling with the Ant API), 'optional.jar' that is part of Ant (and which is required at compile time), and 'xml-apis.jar' libraries, so you do not need to bother. Just make sure that those libraries are intact, and actually those shipped with Ant V1.5.0! |
| new |
|
This is both a dependency and a requirement (at runtime). The Ant V1.5.0 'xercesImpl.jar' is used for compilation: it should however be present in your clean Ant V1.5.0 runtime, so that you do not have anything to do with it. |
| new |
software
|
In order to use all Ant new features as far as the process managment is concerned (use of the 'macrodef' task). This is required for development because the Ant buildfiles only support this (fresh, yes, too bad) version. |
|
Requirements
|
| Of course, you need the current XRN version of the Ant XRN task 'XMLReleaseNotes.lib' present in the 'lib' directory of the delivery package. The jar library file must be present in Ant runtime 'lib' directory. |
| new |
software
|
This version of Ant is required because we use the XMLCatalog class that only appeared from this version of Ant. Note that the Ant runtime is supposed to contain in its 'lib' directory the shipped-with 'xercersImpl.jar' and 'xml-api.jar' libraries. |
| new |

You need to have an XSLT implementation library like Saxon V6 (download the jar here) or Xalan V2+ (download the jar here) in your Ant 'lib' directory. |

Some bugs have been fixed. Added new XSLT model plugins.
Dependencies
The new 'DependencyModel.xsl' new plugin enables to inline the release notes dependency-components of a component.
When a component has a new dependency (expressed via the 'Release/Dependencies/Component' XML element), this plugin inlines the depending-component by looking at its XRN release notes found via the corresponding 'ReleaseNotes/Components/Component/@xml' attribute.
This is the reason why it is important to express the XRN release notes of all depending components.

A major release because it brings the release notes cross-references feature, as well as the XML release notes validation.

Validation
It is now possible to check that the structure of the data entered in the XRN release notes XSML file are compliant with the framework.
It is now posible to check the XRN release notes XML file against its XSD schema (present in the jar).
This can be achieved via the Ant task by using the 'checkValidity' top parameter.
Now, an additional feature would be to actually analyze the XRN release notes file in order to check more deeply that the information is coherent.

Components release notes
Added an optional 'Components' top-child element, in order to be able to access the components (present via the dependencies, composition and requirements features) that already have an XRN XML release notes defined.

This makes the framework more worth, and this becomes interesting.
XMLReleaseNotes2HTML.xsl: the XML to HTML renderer takes benefit of this feature by providing additional hyperlinks on the components references.
Now, an additional feature would be to inline those additional release notes into the generated HTML.

Ant task mail re-engineering
It was definitively a bad idea to inline the mail task at the same XML hierarchy level as the XRN task's. The mail task is now an inner XML element, and the 'mail' parameter is discarded.

Better package of the delivery, introduction of the concept of version of the framework.
Added a version attribute that enables to track the version of the framework used. This may be very useful as far as migration and converstions are concerned.
XSD: added the 'version' attribute indicates the version of the XMLReleaseNotes framework it complies to.
XSL: outputs this version in the bottom banner and outputs a warning if the XML release notes and the XSD are not the same version.
