Dependencies
[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 0.5.1]	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-0.6.4.zip	An additional CSS has been added, the one which is supposed to become printer-friendly, 'src/XMLReleaseNotesPrint.css'. A new XSLT migration 'migration/XMLReleaseNotesConvertorV0.6.2-0.6.4.xsl' has been added.
