Dependencies
[from 0.0.alpha]	XSD 1.0	The first version 'Dependencies' XML element will initialize the dependencies of the component. If you redefine another 'Component' XML element in a later release version with the same 'ID' attribute, the current one will be considered obsolete.
[from 0.0.alpha]	XML 1.0	All the tiny framework is expressed in XML, so this is of course required to build it.
[from 0.0.alpha]	XSL 1.1	The obvious idea is that this framework enables to transforms the XML release notes in whatever text format, and HTML above all.

Requirements
[from 0.5.1]	Ant 1.5.0+	This version of Ant is required because we use the `XMLCatalog` class that only appeared from this version of Ant.
[from 0.3.2]	XSLT	You need to have an XSLT implementation library like Saxon or Xalan in your Ant 'lib' directory.

0.6.2

build date: 2004.05.01

delivery date: 2004.05.01

builder: EM

XRN has improved as far as migration is concerned. The concept of visibility has been replaced by the concept of importance.

<importance>
Visibility and Importance

The concept of importance was definitively badly expressed though the 'visibility' concept: this has been replaced by the 'importance' concept.

XSD: the attribute 'visibility' has been replaced by 'importance'.

Use the new migration feature in order to upgrade your XRN XML release notes files.

detail: func business

<migration>
XRN migration

Ant: added the 'migrate' parameter that enables to automatically migrate the version of the XML release notes file up to the version of the XRN wrapped in the Ant jar.

Since the XSLT are also present in the zip, you can perform the migration via pure XSLT.

0.6.1

build date: 2004.04.21

delivery date: 2004.04.21

This release fixes bad previous designs, and proposes a first plugin for the integration of CVS change logs into the release notes.

<VSC>
Versioning Control System

Enables a deeper integration with the VCS systems, so that it is possible to track down the source changes.

This enables to produce more accurate and exhaustive release notes, dedicated to the support of the component.

This opens the framework to the versioning system and enhance this information, that is too often restricted to developers, when they take the time to make views...

This is now possible for CVS via the 'plugin/CVSModel.xsl' XSLT model file: beta for the moment, because it lacks integration...

detail: func

<mail>
|
+--[0.6.0]
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.

You can now provide a specific subject to the sent-mail via the 'subject' parameter of the inner 'mail' XML element.

detail: tech bug-fixing enhance

<VSCFeatureType>
Feature new type

Added the 'vsc' feature type so as to render this feature a different way via the XSLT: not yet taken into account.

detail: func enhance

<Why>
The 'why' feature attribute

Added the 'why' attribute to the 'Feature' XML element, in order to better understand the reason for the feature. This enables to better understand the evolution of the component.

This enables to open the framework to existing solutions that deal with the needs collecting.

This attribute is not yet taken into account...

detail: tech

<HTMLContent>
HTML content

Enable a better way to express that some HTML tags may be used within the XML release notes, as far as textual content is concerned: the 'contentType' attribute has been added to nearly all textual possible places. When set to 'html', you can use HTML tags. This is now possible but do not abuse it because you have to think that those release notes may be output in other formats than HTML!...

0.2.4

build date: 2004.03.21

delivery date: 2004.03.21

There is no new delivery, only the web site generation has changed and contains the internal AntDoc.

Dependencies
[from 0.0.alpha]	XSD 1.0	The first version 'Dependencies' XML element will initialize the dependencies of the component. If you redefine another 'Component' XML element in a later release version with the same 'ID' attribute, the current one will be considered obsolete.
[from 0.0.alpha]	XML 1.0	All the tiny framework is expressed in XML, so this is of course required to build it.
[from 0.0.alpha]	XSL 1.1	The obvious idea is that this framework enables to transforms the XML release notes in whatever text format, and HTML above all.

No delivery

0.2.3

This is patch and the top-child 'Deliveries' XML element has been adde so as to enable to express the delivery root URL.

build date: 2004.03.21

This is the very first downloable release.

Requirements
This is just how to show that you may not inherit from the previous requirements.

Deliveries
The V0.2.0 and V0.2.1 were not OK, as far as the automatic delivery process is concerned.
XMLReleaseNotesV0.2.2.zip	The delivery is a simple zip, not yet totally properly organized.

0.2.0

build date: 2004.03.21

delivery date: never

This is still a very basic release, just made of two files: the XSD XMLReleaseNotes.xsd and an XML release notes example, XMLReleaseNotes.xml. It also includes the XSLT transformation XMLReleaseNotes2HTML.xsl.

The architecture and files of the projets are now OK; the resources are under CVS and all the delivery engine should work, through an Ant buildfile.

This is a bit more elaborate version, since new ideas have come to my mind, and this is the reason why I make a 'todo' release in order to express them. The principle is that the 'Release' XML element should be sorted from the latest to the oldest.
