Apache Cocoon 2.1.11 Released



  The Apache Cocoon Community is proud to announce the new release

  of Apache Cocoon.



  Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concept

  of separation of concerns (that is: allowing people to do their job

  without having to step on each other toes) and component-oriented web

  RAD.



  The latest version is downloadable from

  http://cocoon.apache.org/mirror.html

  (Please use the mirrors to download the release - it might take

  a little bit more time until the latest release is available on

  all mirrors, so give the mirrors some time - approx. 24h to update.)



  This release includes many bug fixes and smaller enhancements.
