Miscellaneous features have been added.

Actors

The 'Actors.xsd' schema has been normalized and you can now use it in order to define all actors involved in the process.

Either you use the 'Actors' top-child XML element of 'ReleaseNotes', or you use the 'XRNActors' plugin model XSL in order to provide one.

The actors file should comply to the 'XRNActors.xsd' schema present in the package.

For every actor, when this plugin is used, you can directly write to him by clicking the hyperlink (via a 'mailto' HTML tag).

Feature title

The 'Feature/Abstract' XML element has been renamed 'Title' because this is more adapted.

Release 'freshness' indicator

XSD change

The inner 'Contributors' and 'AskingPersons' XML element now contain 'Actor' XML elements so as to simplify the XSD.

The 'Abstract' element has been renamed as 'Title'.

Dependencies
[from 0.8.0]	XercesImpl 2	See the requirement section.
[from 0.0.alpha]	XSD 1.0	XSD is being use so as to restrict and standardize the release notes structure.
[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]	XSLT 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 0.8.0]	XercesImpl 2	This implementation of SAX is necesary for the XML validation agains its schema. It should be present in the Ant 'lib' directory (via the usual 'xercesImpl.jar' Java archive).
[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.

Deliveries
XMLReleaseNotes-0.14.0.zip	Added the 'XRNActors.xsl' plugin model XSLT
