delivery date: 2004.04.15
Some XSLT technical improvements and some functional additions is the HTML rendering.

<FeatureID>
Reuse of the Feature ID
Pay more attention to the 'ID' of a 'Feature' element and refer to it if already defined in the past. Now hyperlinks are displayed for already defined features.

<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!...

<URIResolver>
URI resolver and parameters
Ant: added the opportunity to use URI resolvers in the XSLT provided by the user via the inner 'xmlcatalog' XML element within the 'model' and 'layout' elements. This is the native Ant XMLCatalog element.
Ant: added the possibility to provide XSLT parameters in the task via the inner 'param' element within the 'model' and 'layout' elements. This is a copy of the built-in 'XSLT' task Ant feature.

Feature 'ID' attribute
Made this 'Feature/@ID' attribute a string, so that mnemonics may be used.

Dependencies
[from 0.0.alpha]XSD 1.0XSD is being use so as to restrict and standardize the release notes structure.
[from 0.0.alpha]XML 1.0All the tiny framework is expressed in XML, so this is of course required to build it.
[from 0.0.alpha]XSLT 1.1The obvious idea is that this framework enables to transforms the XML release notes in whatever text format, and HTML above all.

Requirements
Beware of the Ant requirement that has changed.
[new] 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
