• Core: Rewrite of WildcardMatcherHelper where the heavy-lifting is left to the regexp library. That fixes a false positive where "menu/foo/bar.xml" was matched by "menu/*.xml" in the old implementation. The new code also removes the over-greedyness of '**' that "**/*/*" can now be matched successfully. Committed by AN.

• XMLFileModule: file-specific configuration ignored. Committed by AG. Thanks to Guillaume Déflache. See Issue COCOON-1840.
• HTTPRequest: Redundant copying between container and form encoding. Committed by AG. Thanks to Aleksander Bandelj. See Issue COCOON-1625.
• Error decommissioning component: org.apache.cocoon.components.store.impl.EHDefaultStore. Committed by AG. Thanks to Pier Fumagalli. See Issue COCOON-1694.
• exception2html.xslt: <script /> causes IE display problem. Committed by AG. Thanks to Eric Meyer. See Issue COCOON-1839.
• Tour block: SVG samples now use the correct SVG 1.1 namespace. Committed by BD.
• RequestGenerator: Add remoteUser() information. Committed by AG. Thanks to Andrew Stevens. See Issue COCOON-1515.
• XIncludeTransformer: xi:fallback fail when use parse="text". Committed by AG. See Issue COCOON-1110.
• XInclude transformer uses href fragment rather than xpointer attribute (spec conformance). The XInclude 1.0 spec (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/#include_element) states the following about the href attribute:
  'Fragment identifiers must not be used; their appearance is a fatal error.'
  Cocoon's XIncludeTransformer incorrectly allows xpointer fragments to be specified using a fragment identifier in the href attribute. The correct way to support xpointers is the 'xpointer' attribute on xi:include, which the transformer does not currently recognize. Committed by AG. Thanks to Jason Johnston. See Issue COCOON-1753.
• Cocoon htmlunit testcases are now compatible with htmlunit 1.8. Committed by AG.
• Updated xmlunit to 1.0 and junit to 3.8.2. Committed by AG.
• Added calculated fields implementation. Committed by SG.
• Updated XReporter expressions to latest version (see http://issues.cocoondev.org/browse/XRP-113 ). Committed by SG.
• CForms: Java event listeners can now implement Configurable, LogEnabled, and Contextualizable. Committed by CZ.
• CForms: added a Repeater.moveRow2(from, to) method, which in contrast to the Repeater.moveRow method inserts the row at the exact to-index specified. Committed by BRD.
• FOP block depends on XSP block (for samples) Committed by BD. Thanks to Vince.
• Portal: PageLabels can now be configured to be part of the url. Committed by RG.
• Made the pool-max values in the html block's generators externally configurable. Made sitemap reloading externally configurable. Made pipeline amd encodeURLTransformer pool-max values externally configurable. Committed by RG.
• CForms/Ajax: when the Ajax-update contained an empty textarea, IE failed to parse this correctly, displaying '</span></div>' in the textarea. Fixed by adding an explicit closing tag for textareas. Committed by BRD.
• CForms: widgets in unions lost their value when switching between union cases. Committed by BRD.
• Updated axis to 1.4 and commons-collections to 3.2. Committed by AG.
• Added a lightweight FOM_SimpleCocoon class, and placed it in the javascript scope when there isn't already a scope defined. This way, even when using javaflow, you have access to the cocoon object (with request etc..) from javascript snippets in definition. Committed by SG. See Issue COCOON-1804.
• Added CSS classes in cocoon forms default XSLs. Committed by SG. See Issue COCOON-1782.
• Updated ehcache to 1.2. Committed by AG.
• The JDK 1.4 version of the EncodeURLTransformer did not work properly as it was not matching just the beginning of the string as the Jakarta-regexp version does. The transformer was corrected to only match the beginning of the string. In 2.1.9 this error can be circumvented by configuring the transformer and adding "*" to the end of each pattern. Committed by RG. See Issue COCOON-1742.
• As with all the AbstractTextSerializer based serializers, the XHTMLSerializer should handle the omit-xml-declaration to not put the XML declaration as first line of the serialized document. This prevents many rendering problems in Internet Explorer. Default behaviour is to send the xml declaration as before. Committed by AS. Thanks to Maurizio Pillitu. See Issue COCOON-1845.
• Commandline interface: the user-agent is now correctly set in the request headers (and not in the request parameters). Committed by CZ. Thanks to James Bates. See Issue COCOON-1511.
• RandomNumberModule: does not returns random number in the range (min,max) as expected. Committed by AG. See Issue COCOON-1716.
• Performance Issue/JavaScriptFlowScript: If <reload-scripts> is set to false, don't check for last modification time of javascript source files. Committed by AG. Thanks to Georg Hüttenegger. See Issue COCOON-1721.
• XSP block: Fix regression introduced in 2.1.8 that under specific circumstances logicsheets were not applied, leading to compilation errors. This manifested itself only if a) two XSPs referred to the same custom logicsheet by a relative location path, b) the custom logicsheet used another logicsheet, and c) the built-in logicsheet's namespace was not mentioned in xsp:page. The compilation errors occurred always when calling the second XSP for the first time. Fix also race condition which could lead to similar XSP compilation errors under high load when accessing the same logicsheet for the first time. Committed by AN.
• Template block: Make the template block usable with JDK 1.3+ and enable it by default. Committed by CZ.
• CForms: Fix inplace editing samples Committed by JBQ.
• CForms: Add id, state and listening attributes to the transformed form-template element (jx macros and forms transformer). Committed by CZ. See Issue COCOON-1820.
• XSP block: Use private methods to call start/endElement in xsp.xsl. That generates smaller bytecode allowing to compiler larger XSPs before hitting the 64k limit for the size of the generate() method. Committed by AN.
• Forms block: modified ProcessingPhase to add a PROCESSING_INITIALIZE phase instead of the spurious double READ_FROM_REQUEST_VALUE sent before. Made a ProcessingPhaseListener configurable from form definition with on-processing-phase and adapted the JavaScript widget listener to support processing phase events. Committed by SG. See Issue COCOON-1781COCOON-1685.
• Forms block: added repeater events. Repeater now sends row added, deleted etc.. events. The listener can be added in definition with an on-repeater-modified element. Added support for these events in JavaScript listener. Committed by SG. See Issue COCOON-1801.
• Passing the default locale while parsing initial-value on a form if no locale attribute was specified. Committed by SG. See Issue COCOON-1844.

• Fix caching problems in ImageReader: image was not regenerated when allow-enlarging or fit-uniform sitemap parameters were changed Committed by JBQ.
• CForms: Added event handling for group of type "choice" (allow formsOnShow attribute) Committed by JBQ. Thanks to Rob Berens. See Issue COCOON-1809.
• CForms: Added method StaticSelectionList.addItem(Object value, String label) Committed by JBQ. Thanks to Rob Berens. See Issue COCOON-1808.
• CForms: add dynamic id to Form object. This allows to use the same form model several times on the same page, for example if the form is used in a portal. Committed by CZ.
• Configuration values can now be set externally. The properties that can be modified can be identified by looking at the property files in WEB-INF/properties. The properties can be overriden by specifying them as system properties when invoking Cocoon or by placing them in a property file and identifying its location via the "org.apache.cocoon.settings" system property. The default Cocoon script sets this to ./cocoon.properties. Committed by RG.
• Deprecated method o.a.c.environment.Environment.getOutputStream() still used internally. Committed by AG. Thanks to Mark Lundquist. See Issue COCOON-1814.
• Added the NekoHTMLTransformer. Updated the NekoHTMLGenerator's setup bits to allow for setting parser features as well as properties, and provided a sample neko.properties configuration file. Committed by JBQ. Thanks to Andrew Stevens. See Issue COCOON-1639.
• Updated asm to 2.2.1, asm-util to 2.2.1 groovy to 1.0-jsr-05 and antlr to 2.7.6. Committed by AG.
• CForms: added an fd:java validator to make it easy to implement custom WidgetValidator's in Java (for use in the form definition). Committed by BRD. Thanks to Simone Gianni. See Issue COCOON-1806.
• Updated commons-io to 1.2. Committed by AG.
• Ajax: rewrote everything with Dojo, added a new "PartialLink" widget using the "target" attribute on links to partially update the page. Committed by SW.
• Forms: many Ajax-related new features.
  
  • Rewrote almost everything using Dojo
  • Added a Dojo widget for repeaters, allowing drag and drop reordering of rows (but not on Safari) and clicking in rows to select them.
  • Added a Dojo widget for inplace editing.
  • Added a Dojo widget for suggestion-lists. It works in relation with a new <fd:suggestion-list> element in form definitions.
  • Added a new selection/suggestion-list implementation based on a JS code snippet in the form definition.
  Committed by SW.
• Forms: updated Daisy HTML cleaner component to version 1.4.1 (was 1.1). Committed by BRD.
• Added the template block from Cocoon 2.2. This block contains a refactored implementation of the JXTemplate generator, which should be compatible with the existing one and is thus usable as a drop-in replacement. It should provide better performance, and some new features, such as Javascript expressions using @{...} syntax. It is used by having type="newjx" on map:generate, or by changing the mapping of the "jx" generator type to the new implementation class. Committed by BRD.
• Apples can now access components declared in mounted sitemaps. Committed by JHS. Thanks to Paul Focke. See Issue COCOON-1728.

• Portal Block: Remove "external" attribute from coplet links. Committed by CZ.
• Portal Block: Fix handling of several instances of the same portlet where all instances showed the contents of the last portlet instance. This only applies to JSR-168 portlets, not to coplets. Committed by CZ.
• Allow configuration of initial context in LDAPTransformer. Example: <ldap:initial-context name="com.sun.jndi.ldap.connect.timeout" value="5000"/> Committed by JBQ. Thanks to Sébastien Grimault. See Issue COCOON-1707.
• html block: Add CleanupTransformer. Enables indent html, add relevant line-breaks, and remove any namespaces that are not wanted. Committed by DC. Thanks to Miles Elam. See Issue COCOON-1206.

• Mark Forms block stable. Make dream team sample work with it. Committed by RG.
• Portal: Corrected problem with many ClassNotFoundExceptions occurring inside of the class loader by eliminating the usage of Castor deriveByClass in portal configurations. This change significantly improves performance of the portal login. Committed by RG.
• When compiling with Java 1.4 or higher, EncodeURLTransformer was modified to use JDK 1.4 regular expressions instead of Jakarta regexp improving performance and avoiding possible stack overflows. Committed by RG. See Issue COCOON-1742.
• Cron block: NPE calling QuartzJobScheduler.fireJob if the job is a CronJob. Committed by AG. Thanks to Eric Meyer. See Issue COCOON-1778.
• In cocoon.sh, use shell built-in command "exec" to replace sh's process instead of forking a new process for executing the "java" command, useful for proper service management Committed by JBQ.
• CForms: binding: implemented support for a new attribute "jxpath-factory" (can be used on any binding element) to change the factory used by JXPath when it needs to create new paths (currently this is fixed to the DOMFactory).

Committed by JBQ. Thanks to Niclas Hedhman. See Issue COCOON-1301.
• Add WEB-INF/classes to loader's classpath for cli and precompile Committed by JBQ. See Issue COCOON-1465.
• Allow to run Cocoon CLI by adding servlet.jar in the classpath. Turn off cli's debug messages by default. Committed by JBQ. See Issue COCOON-1715.
• Fix a bug in DirectoryGenerator: when using cocoon: changes were not detected Committed by JBQ. Thanks to Antonio Fiol. See Issue COCOON-1681.
• CForms: Incompatible change for <fb:custom>: the base context is now passed instead of the relative context. Please change corresponding classes and use getXpath() to create the relative context yourself. Committed by JBQ. Thanks to Bart Molenkamp. See Issue COCOON-1238.
• CForms: Java classes used in <fb:custom> can now implement Serviceable to get a ServiceManager Committed by JBQ. Thanks to Bart Molenkamp. See Issue COCOON-1238.

• CForms: Added the sendForm(uri, viewData) function to Form.js, useful to display a form without the need to create a continuation. Useful along with the new processForm(viewData) function that updates the form values from the current request. Committed by JBQ.
• Fix a bug in CForms: Form.js overwriting the CFormsInstance attribute in viewData Committed by JBQ. See Issue COCOON-1720.
• Fix a bug in CForms library when extending a field Committed by JBQ. Thanks to Daniele Madama. See Issue COCOON-1736.
• CSVGenerator now looks for the sitemap parameter "process-headers" (with the s at the end) as told in the documentation.

• XMLDBTransformer can use username/password to access XMLDB. Note that DatabaseManager.getCollection() accepts null values for user and password, see http://xmldb-org.sourceforge.net/xapi/api/org/xmldb/api/DatabaseManager.html#getCollection(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String) Committed by JBQ. See Issue COCOON-1259.
• Portal Block: Provide user name to portlets. Committed by CZ.
• Portal Block: Make wsrp event adapter thread safe, fix error in disposing wsrp producer and update portals bridges to 1.0. Committed by CZ.
• Replace deprecated library excalibur-io 1.1 with commons-io 1.1. The file excalibur-io-1.1.jar is no longer part of the cocoon distribution. Note: All the packages under org.apache.avalon.excalibur.io.* can be found under org.apache.commons.io.*. Please update the imports in your code. Committed by AG.
• Updated asm to 2.1, asm-util to 2.1 and groovy to 1.0-jsr-04. Committed by AG.
• XSP block: Reintroduce locally scoped xspAttr in xsp.xsl to improve backwards compatibility for pre-2.1.9 logicsheets. (Suggestion by Vadim Gritsenko). Committed by AN.
• I18n: XMLResourceBundle checks now for both the new and the old namespace. Committed by JH. See Issue COCOON-1700.

• XSP block: Instrument {#expr} interpolation to produce Cocoon stacktrace for parse errors. Committed by AN.
• Portal block: Fix possible encoding problems with JSR 168 portlets. Committed by CZ.
• Portal block: Support external form actions in HTML transformation. Committed by CZ.
• Database block: Renaming AttributeImpl xspAttr to _xspAttr was not applied to ESQL logicsheet. That caused compliation errors in all XSPs using it. Committed by AN. Thanks to Feliciano Borrego. See Issue COCOON-1691.
• Core: Error handling fixed in map:aggregate (ContentAggregator). Now, no content is prepended to the result of any error handling pipeline. Committed by MPF.
• Core: Caching pipelines (CachingProcessingPipeline, ExpiresCachingProcessingPipeline, ...) will now check if the content they are trying to generate is already being generated by another caching pipeline. If so, they will wait for that content to appear in the Cache and use that content instead of re-generating it and possibly causing high load on the server. Committed by MPF.
• Core: ExpiresCachingProcessingPipeline will not set up a pipeline anymore when a cached version of it is available. Any cached response will now serve quickly, no matter how complex the actual pipeline is. Committed by MPF.

• POST method in cinclude:includexml is broken. Committed by AG. Thanks to Maurice Jumelet. See Issue COCOON-1365.
• Forms block: If a field is required or not can be changed during form processing. Applied patch by Philipp Schmidt (philipp.schmidt@gmail.com). Committed by CZ.
• Forms block:
  • Automatic submit-on-change. Fields which have value-changed listeners are now by default submitted automatically, meaning adding <fi:styling submit-on-change="true"/> is no more necessary. For those cases where a field with event listeners should not be automatically submitted, set submit-on-change to false.
  • Introduce a naming convention for stylesheet-generated IDs: they should all start with the widget's ID followed by a ":" and a name. The use of ":", which is forbidden in widget names, avoids conflicts with other widgets in the form. All stylesheets have been updated to this convention.
    This change can break applications that use document.getElementById() to access some of the generated elements (notably "foo-input" that's used for the <input> of the "foo" widget), but this notation is now a public contract that will be taken care of in the future.
  • Along with field, aggregatefield and booleanfield, you can now add value-changed listeners on output and upload widgets.
  • Widget validators can now return not only a boolean value, but also a String or an XMLizable (such as I18nMessage) which are used to set a validation error on the widget.
  • The <fi:styling submit-on-change="output"/> is no more available, as it was intrinsically broken as a field whose value is not submitted is reset. Use the "output" widget state to achieve the same effect.
  Committed by SW.

• CForms: Fixed JavaScript error in forms-lib.js when using keyword undefined and Mac IE 5.0. Committed by JH. Thanks to Dan Durkin. See Issue 33318.
• Caching support for XInclude Transformer Committed by AG. Thanks to Jason Johnston. See Issue 31600.
• CForms block: new form libraries features. You can now define form definition and binding library files and import them for reuse and/or extension in regular definition and binding files.
  This is the result of the Max Pfingsthorn's Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project. Committed by SW. Thanks to Max Pfingsthorn.
• When the upload size exceeds the configured limit, a RejectedPart is associated to the request rather than throwing a exception at the servlet level. This allows the application to handle oversized uploads and provide meaningful messages. The upload widget in CForms has been updated to use this new feature.
  Uploads are now allowed in the provided web.xml, but with a low 100 kbytes limit to allow samples to be functional without endangering security. Committed by SW.

As of right now, the "validation" block supports the RELAX-NG grammar using JING and the XML-Schema grammar using Xerces. Committed by PF.
• Add a "cocoon.exit()" method to flowscript, which allows to exit the current flowscript invocation without creating a continuation. Committed by SW.
• XMLdb block: Don't rely on the sitemap components to stream the contents of a xmldb source. Committed by SW. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Quenot. See Issue 35575.

This bug fix introduces incompatible changes: the cache validity attribute is not used anymore, use the cache temporary attribute instead and update your code to use temporary attributes instead of (persistent) attributes. Committed by CZ.
• Updated jakarta-regexp to 1.4. Committed by AG.
• Portal block: Allow portlet adapter to stream html content through the pipeline using the NekoHTML parser. Committed by CZ.
• Portal block: Use OJB and the HSQLDB for authentication of the portal sample. Committed by CZ. Thanks to Jens Maukisch. See Issue 36240.

• XSP block: Add xsp:expr and various other contexts where text must be passed through XSLTExtension:escape in order to preserve non-ASCII characters in Java string constants independently of the XSP source file and compiler expected encodings. Committed by AN.
• Faces block: Updated MyFaces libraries to the SVN r233484, get rid of patched version. Committed by VG.
• Portal block: Add support for portal bridges and add CoWarp for authentication. Committed by CZ.

• Webapp context is now configurable when starting with the included Jetty webserver. Setting JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dcontext=blah/, for example will make the Cocoon webapp available at /blah/ instead of / which stays the default. Committed by BD.
• Update Rhino+continuations so that JavaScriptException has the same API as the official 1.6 version. This is allows to access location and nested exceptions for Cocoon stacktraces. Committed by SW.
• Complete refactoring of error handling in TraxTransformer and XSLTProcessor so that actual error messages are displayed rather than the useless RuntimeException usually reported by Xalan. These messages include both stylesheet compilation errors and warnings, and outputs of <xsl:message terminate="yes">.
  Using this feature requires to change the XSTLProcessor class in cocoon.xconf to org.apache.cocoon.components.xslt.TraxProcessor. Committed by SW.
• XSP block: Extend {#expr} interpolation parser to understand {}, "}", '}' as not being the closing brace. The previously implemented mechanism #} to escape braces within the statement is no longer supported. Committed by AN.
• Added Cocoon stacktraces. This is based on location classes in the new org.apache.cocoon.util.location package and a refactoring of the exception management to attach locations to exceptions. Committed by SW.
• Updated hsqldb to 1.8.0. Committed by AG.
• XSP block: Implement {#expr} interpolation also for logicsheets. Committed by AN.
• New org.apache.cocoon.util.location package, providing utilities to track locations in XML documents and the objects built from these documents. Committed by SW.
• Mail block: Allow any of the Cocoon-provided protocols to be used for attachments in SendMailTransformer. This means that "cocoon:" URLs are no more rewritten as external http requests. Committed by SW. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Quenot. See Issue 35618.

• Added parameter "show-cocoon-version" to web.xml for configuring whether X-Cocoon-Version response header should be sent. Default is true. In a security paranoid environment you may want to set it to false in order to hide from the outside world which Cocoon version you are running. Committed by AN. Thanks to Andrew Stevens. See Issue 33388.
• XSP block: Added short-cut notation {#expr} for interpolation of XSP expressions in attribute values and text nodes. Removed wrapping of all text nodes from XSP source into <xsp:text> elements before passing them to logicsheets. (This feature was not used by the standard logicsheets but check your custom logicsheets whether they depend on it.) Committed by AN. Thanks to Jochen Kuhnle. See Issue 35228.
• Portal block: Convert PortletPortalManager into portal manager aspect. Committed by CZ.
• CForms block: Make all WidgetValidatorBuilders ThreadSafe. Reset validation errors before validating a field. Committed by CZ.
• Portal block: Add portal manager aspects for more flexible portal processing. Committed by CZ.
• CForms block: Add isValid() method to a Widget. Committed by CZ.
• POI Block: Added HSSFGenerator. Committed by VG. Thanks to Patrick Herber. See Issue 29817.
• Added getSitemapURIPrefix method to the Request interface. Committed by VG. Thanks to Nico Verwer. See Issue 35435.
• Updated commons-digester to 1.7, commons-lang to 2.1, xercesImpl to 2.7.0. Committed by AG.
• Mail block: The SendMailTransformer can now configure the smtp port. Committed by UH. Thanks to Johan Stuyts.
• Fixed reloading of the i18n catalogues (regression introduced in 2.1.7). Committed by VG. See Issue 33097.
• JMS block: Connection failures can now be recovered from. The default JMSConnectionManager implementation detects when JMS connections are severed and schedules reconnection attempts with the cron scheduler in order to re-establish the connection. As soon as reconnection was successful it notifies its listeners so that they may recover as well and refresh their JMS sessions. The provided abstract MessageListener and JMS publisher that users are recommended to use as base classes for their concrete JMS needs have been updated to use this mechanism. Committed by UH. Thanks to Johan Stuyts.
• Forms block: sqldatabase sample added, demonstrates "zero java code" editing of SQL data using the SQLTransformer. Committed by BD. Thanks to Askild Aaberg Olsen. See Issue 35364.
• CForms block: Ensure FormHandler is always called when a field's value change. Committed by SW. Thanks to Jeffrey Kirby. See Issue 35311.
• CForms block: The default HTML stylesheets have been moved into the jar packages. If they should be extended in custom stylesheets, import or include them using the resource protocol: <xsl:include href="resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/resources/forms-advanced-field-styling.xsl"/>. Committed by RP.
• CForms block: The form and container widgets can take up ValidationErrors. As those widgets don't have a natural place where the error message should appear, the <ft:validation-error id="[widget-id]"/> has to be used. Currently this tag is only supported by the jxtemplate macro library. Committed by RP.
• Fix some multithreading issues when a background thread or cron job uses the "cocoon:" protocol, that caused the background request pipeline to be recycled by the parent thread during its execution.
  To use multiple threads to process a request (e.g. parallel include), background processing must use the org.apache.cocoon.environment.CocoonRunnable wrapper that ensures that the environment context of the main request is properly inherited by tasks running in the background. Committed by SW.
• Mail block: Make internal protocol handling for attachments in SendMailTransformer configurable and properly release all sources. Committed by CZ.
• Move expires pipeline implementation out of the scratchpad. Committed by CZ.
• Add setter action to set values in the object model, request or session. Committed by CZ.
• Updated ant to 1.6.5. Committed by AG.
• CForms block: add a new <fd:true-param-value> configuration to booleanfield definitions, to allow specifying a value different from "true" for the checkbox. Committed by SW.
• Set the content-length of a response when the pipeline buffers the content (which is the default). Committed by CZ.
• XSP Block: Double check and attempt again to load program object from cache. This avoids that simultaneous requests recompile the same XSP over and over again. Committed by AN. See Issue 32935.
• When receiving a multipart request, also add parameters given on the URL to the request parameters. Committed by SW.
• EHDefaultStore.store throws more descriptive exception if key or value are not Serializable. Committed by BD.
• Cforms block: Caching selection list for best performance inside repeaters. Deprecate @dynamic in <fd:selection-list> in favor of @cache. Posible @cache values are:
  • static => equivalent to old @dynamic="false"
  • none => equivalent to old @dynamic="true"
  • request => is new, similar to cache="none", but caching the selection list per request. Useful to improve performance inside repeaters.
  Committed by AG.
• Updated ant to 1.6.4, batik to 1.6, db-ojb to 1.0.3. Committed by AG.
• CForms block: add automatic AJAX features. When <ft:form-template> has an ajax="true" attribute, partial page updates are performed rather than full page reloads. Committed by SW.
• SearchGenerator return has-previous false when meet the no. 2 page. Committed by AG. Thanks to Thomas Scheithauer. See Issue 32728.
• The new "annotations" namespace (http://apache.org/cocoon/sitemap/annotations/1.0) can be used to add information to sitemaps. The sitemap processor ignores this information, which can be used for documentation purposes. Committed by BD. Thanks to Johan Stuyts. See Issue 25352.
• XSP Block: Race condition could lead to duplicate application of same logicsheet with spurious compilation errors or undefined runtime behaviour. Committed by AN. See Issue 32934.
• CForms block: added CAPTCHA validator. Committed by UC.
• IncludeTransformer moved from the scratchpad into the core. It has following features:
  • Supports caching, with configurable caching key.
  • Supports parallel include processing in multiple threads.
  • Included source URIs resolved relative to the document URI.
  • Supports recursive include processing (includes in included files).
  • Supports fallback element processing.
  • Supports inclusion of files as text.
  Committed by VG.
• Enabled the synchronization on Cocoon's session wrapper by assuring that only one wrapper exists per servlet session. Committed by JH.
• Databases: SQLTransformer: Support queries nested into insert/delete/update queries. Return number of rows updated by insert/delete/update queries as returncode element. Committed by VG. See Issue 25098.
• Databases: SQLTransformer: Each query can now have connection with own database connection configuration parameters. Queries with same configuration will share single database connection. You can force queries to create private connection using own-connection configuration parameter. Committed by VG.
• Databases: SQLTransformer: Each query can now have own output namespace and prefix. If desired output namespace already in use, existing prefix will be used. Committed by VG.
• Databases: SQLTransformer: Support multiple nested queries within one query. Committed by VG. Thanks to Philipp Matthias Hahn. See Issue 27440.
• Databases: Changes in SQLTransformer:
  • By default, output resulting XML using 'sql' namespace prefix.
  • Accept non-namespaced attributes in the input XML, and prefer them over attributes in SQLTransformer namespace.
  • Support configured namespace, instead of hardcoded value.
  Committed by VG.
• Databases: SQLTransformer: Output attributes on rowset element with empty namespace. Committed by VG. Thanks to Martin Holz. See Issue 31634.
• Databases: SQLTransformer: Avoid declaring duplicate namespaces. Committed by VG. See Issue 25203.

• Faces Block: ValidateLongRangeTag, ValidateDoubleRangeTag should use long and double to set minimum and maximum, not int. Committed by VG. Thanks to Markus Bussemer. See Issue 34400.
• Fixed caching of a pipeline aggregating non cacheable pipelines via cocoon: protocol. Committed by VG.
• Stacktrace of the ResourceNotFound exception is logged only in DEBUG level, otherwise only exception message is logged. Committed by VG.

• Updated hsqldb to 1.7.3.3. Committed by AG.
• Fix caching of i18n bundles with expires validities. Committed by VG.
• Implemented error handling for the internal requests. Error handling for internal requests can be configured using the when attribute on the handle-errors element. Supported values for when attribute are:
  • external: This error handler should be used only on external requests (default);
  • internal: This error handler should be used only on internal requests;
  • always: This error handler can be used for all requests.
  Currently, if internal error handling is enabled, only the inner most error handler will be used for errors which happened during internal pipeline processing. See samples for usage details. Committed by VG.
• Sitemap now properly throws ResourceNotFound exception for not matched requests even if last pipeline marked as an internal pipeline. Committed by VG.
• Sitemap handle-errors now reports an error if generator is missing, or if type attribute (deprecated) specified and generator is present. Committed by VG.
• Updated quartz to 1.4.5, jcs to 1.2.5-dev-20050313. Committed by AG.
• Refactored the Deprecation class: the "forbidden-deprecation-level" parameter in web.xml allows to raise deprecation exceptions depending on the log level. For example, DEBUG allows no deprecations (strict mode), and FATAL_ERROR allows all (tolerant mode). Default is ERROR, allowing messages up to WARN. Committed by SW.
• A flowscript's file encoding can now be specified by a comment on the script's very first line, in the form "// encoding = xxxx". Otherwise, the default platform encoding is used. Committed by SW.
• Added QueryBean as a standalone block, copied over from 2.2.0. Removed the original from the Lucene Block. Stores Favourites using OJB in HSQLDB. Committed by JQ.
• CForms: separate FormattingDateConvertor that uses java.text.SimpleDateFormat and Icu4jDateFormatter that uses ICU4J. There was previously an automatic switch to ICU4J if the library was present in the classpath, which sometimes caused some strange results as it behaves a bit differently. Committed by SW.
• Tour block: fix "shapes" sample using if/else in flowscript instead of switch. Committed by BD.
• Build: Added exclude.all.blocks and include.all.blocks properties to quickly toggle all blocks on or off. Committed by VG.
• Updated antlr to 2.7.5, groovy to 1.0-beta-10, jetty to 4.2.23 Committed by AG.
• OJB Block: Marked as stable. Committed by VG.
• Make Cocoon compilable and buildable using JDK 5.0. Committed by all.
• Remove scratchpad block - the scratchpad area is only available in trunk. Committed by CZ.
• Deprecated Pizza compiler support in XSP. To be removed in Cocoon 2.2. Committed by AG.
• CForms: JavaSelectionList implementations can now be Contextualizable and can build SelectionLists with XMLizable labels. Committed by VG.
• Change the mime-type setting of a reader. See also bug #25121. Committed by CZ. See Issue 10277.
• Fix thread safety problem in JXTemplateGenerator.setup() concerning template script reparsing. Committed by LG. Thanks to Niklas Therning. See Issue 33836.
• Polish i18n for CForms. Committed by LG.
• OJB Block: Renamed JdoPMF component to JDO, OdmgImplementation to ODMG, and removed PBFactory component - please use OJB PersistenceFactory API directly. Committed by VG.
• Runnable Manager: Fix bug preventing scheduling of two different jobs at the same time. Committed by VG.
• Many changes in CForms block.
  Widgets:
  • add Widget.getDefinition() to access the definition that was used to create the widget.
  • make widget definitions immutable once setup. This is necessary with the previous change as a definition is shared by all of the widgets it creates and modifying it could lead to weird behaviors.
  • new "output" widget state, where values are displayed but not read on the request. The difference with "disabled" is that "output" widgets are displayed as plain text and not as disabled inputs.
  • add on-create event listeners that are called when a widget is created.
  • deprecate "struct" in favor of "group" in definition, template and binding. More work is needed on the relation between ft:group and fi:group provided by forms-page-styling.xsl
  
  Field:
  • a field's selection list can be removed by setting it to null. This previously re-installed the widget definition's selection list.
  • a field can have an optional initial value defined using <initial-value locale="...">...</initial-value>. The "locale" attribute is used to convert the value text into an object as defined by the datatype's convertor. This feature is also available on AggregateField and BooleanField (for which locale is useless).
  
  Form.js :
  • added "fun" and "ttl" parameters to Form.showForm(), which now has the exact same parameters as cocoon.sendPageAndWait().
  • the argument of new Form(...) can now be either a String or a DOM Element. Accepting an Element allows the use of any kind of dynamic process to build the form definition.
  • Form.showForm() now uses a single continuation, which saves memory and speeds up processing by shortening the continuation chain when the user has a long interaction with the form.
  • "ttl" parameter added to Form.showForm(), which has the same meaning as for cocoon.sendPageAndWait().
  • new "cleanupHook" property on Form: this is a function that is called each time the form is displayed. This is similar to the "fun" parameter of cocoon.sendPageAndWait().
  • new "restoreHook" property on Form: this is a function that is called each time the continuation is called back, to restore if needed the execution environment before processing the request.
  
  Actions:
  • the "action-command" attribute is deprecated and replaced by "command" which is now optional, except on repeater-action and row-action where it indicates what to do.
  • new "insert-rows" repeater-action that insert new rows before the selected rows in a repeater
  
  Styling: styling "output" is deprecated and will be removed in 2.1.8. The "output" widget state should be used instead. Committed by SW.
• Added best-fit-while-keeping-aspect-ratio option to the ImageReader Committed by TC. See Issue 30417.
• Resource Reader: Make sure response is cacheable when expires parameter is not set. Committed by VG. Thanks to Adam Ratclife. See Issue 33319.
• Mail Block: Add support for replyTo. Committed by VG. Thanks to Andrew Thornton. See Issue 28973.
• CocoonBean can now process a URL to a SAX ContentHandler (skipping the serialiser), via cocoon.process(uri, handler). Committed by UV.
• OJB Block: Integrated OJB logging with Cocoon logging. Committed by VG.
• Add a deprecation logger that gives hint about used deprecated stuff. Committed by CZ.
• Updated commons-transaction to 1.0.1, castor to 0.9.6, groovy to beta-9, quartz to 1.4.4. Committed by AG.
• Remove restrictions on the flowscript object model (FOM): the objects available through the cocoon object (request, session, response, etc) now provide the full API of the corresponding Java classes. Committed by SW.
• CForms: forms generator and template transformer now use the same object model as the JXTG: access to objects have to use the "cocoon" object, like "cocoon/continuation/id". Committed by CZ.
• hsqldb: make name and path of database parameterizable - this way the database can be located outside of Cocoon Committed by RP.
• Apply patch for a better exception handling in the Meta-InputModule when an input module is not found. Committed by CZ. Thanks to Michal Durdina. See Issue 32987.
• Fixed caching of i18n bundles when using multiple locations. Committed by JH. See Issue 33097.
• Fix handling of environment context when returning from a pass-through sitemap mount. Committed by SW. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Quenot. See Issue 33178.
• Portal Block: Add portal tools framework contribution. Committed by CZ. Thanks to Jens Maukisch. See Issue 33287.
• Build system: External blocks can be built together with Cocoon. Committed by CZ.
• Refreshing a page with a JSR-168 portlet in it could cause unexpected results. JSR-168 urls can now be configured to contain the data required to generated the required events. Committed by RG. See Issue 33091.
• Add <compiler-compliance-level> parameter for java XSP compiler. This new parameter allow to specify the java code source version used to compile the XSP code. It is useful to run cocoon using java 1.5 while using source code for 1.4. Posible values: 1.3 = Java version 1.3 1.4 = Java version 1.4 1.5 = Java version 1.5 auto = The version of the JVM where cocoon is running. (Default value). NOTE: The parameter is optional to keep backward compatibility. The parameter currently works only with Sun Javac compiler. The eclipse compiler version 3.0.1 currently does not support java 1.5. The pizza compiler does not support java 1.5. Committed by AG.
• PageLabel url's were not properly encoded. Committed by RG. Thanks to Roy Huang. See Issue 32838.
• Updated quartz to 1.4.3, nekodtd to 0.1.11, nekohtml to 0.9.4 castor to 0.9.5.4, commons-digester to 1.6, groovy to 1.0-beta-8, asm to 1.5.2 and asm-util to 1.5.2. Committed by AG.
• Added commons-transaction 1.0 and commons-codec 1.3. Both are needed by slide 2.1. Committed by AG.
• Updated jakarta-slide-webdavlib to 2.1, jdom to 1.0, slide-kernel to 2.1, slide-stores to 2.1, slide-webdavservlet to 2.1. Committed by AG.
• Portal now allows Cocoon to be deployed as a war (only supports local JSR-168 portlets) and allows external portlets to be in a war. Committed by RG.
• CForms: the parser used to read form files now uses the EntityResolver defined in cocoon.xconf. Committed by SW. See Issue 31668.
• Tiny typo in AbstractTextSerializer Committed by AG. Thanks to Micah Dubinko. See Issue 32620.
• Modified PortletURLProviderImpl.toString() to create a copy of itself and register that with the event. Committed by RG. See Issue 32645.
• ContinuationsManager default implementation can now store continuations in user session. Continuations are not available outside user session and invalidated automatically when session gets invalidated by servlet container. This is a good security option for web applications. Committed by LG.
• Update Deli to x031104 (include over 300 vendor, operator and third party profiles) Committed by AG. Thanks to Mark H. Butler. See Issue 32083.
• Updated hsqldb to 1.7.3, lucene to 1.4.3, ehcache to 1.1, log4j to 1.2.9. Committed by AG.
• Paranoid: make the classloader implementation configurable Committed by TC.
• Typo on the date-selector doc. Committed by AG. Thanks to Juan Jose Pablos. See Issue 32408.
• xml2html.xslt does not work on IE. Committed by AG. Thanks to Micah Dubinko. See Issue 30043.
• Portal: attributes "javax.portlet.request" and "javax.portlet.response" were not set for JSR-168 portlets running in the Cocoon webapp. Committed by RG. See Issue 32417.
• CForms: added HTMLCleaning convertor (taken from Outerthought's Daisy) that cleans up the result by HTMLArea fields. The cleanup process, that is based upon Nekohtml can be configured. One confiugration is available at resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/datatype/convertor/HtmlCleanerConfiguration.xml and guarantees valid XHTML
  Example: <fd:datatype base="string"> <fd:convertor type="htmlcleaner" config="resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/datatype/convertor/HtmlCleanerConfiguration.xml"/> </fd:datatype> Committed by RP.
• CForms: 'htmlarea' fields can be directly configured in cForms templates
  Example configuration (within the <conf> part the variable conf contains the configuration object of HTMLArea <fi:styling type="htmlarea" rows="8" style="width:100%"> <conf> conf.statusBar = false; conf.sizeIncludesToolbar = false; conf.fullPage = false; conf.toolbar = [ [ "bold", "italic", "separator", "subscript", "superscript", "separator", "insertorderedlist", "insertunorderedlist", "outdent", "indent", "separator", "inserthorizontalrule", "separator", "copy", "cut", "paste", "space", "undo", "redo", "separator", "showhelp"] ]; </conf> </fi:styling> Committed by RP.
• CForms: fields styled as 'htmlarea' can be used in tables (workaround for strange IE behaviour) Committed by RP.
• CForms: add a new "link" styling for action widgets, that renders the action as an hypertext link. Committed by SW.
• DateInputModule now accepts date format string when specified in a sitemap. Committed by RG. Thanks to Nico Verwer. See Issue 28360.
• Portal: Added support for storing JSR-168 Portlet preferences. Committed by RG.

• Multipart requests: use container encoding for decoding requests, in order to have consistent handling between normal requests and multipart requests. Committed by BRD.
• I18n (ParamSaxBuffer): handle case where substitution params like {0} are split over multiple character events. Committed by BRD. Thanks to Neil Bacon. See Issue 31887.
• Fix: Continuation can only be invoked for the interpreter it was originally created for. Committed by LG.

• Mail block: the MailSender now gets its source resolver from the service manager. This allows its use from flowscript where the old SourceResolver is not available. Committed by SW.
• AbstractSAXTransformer namespaceURI and defaultNamespaceURI must never be null. When extending AbstractSAXTransformer make sure to set defaultNamespaceURI in the constructor. Committed by VG.
• Faces block: Initial implementation of JavaServer Faces for Cocoon. Committed by VG.

Committed by DC. Thanks to Colin Adams. See Issue 30321.
• New @pass-through attribute for the sitemap mount node. If true, processing will resume in the base sitemap just after the mount node if the mounted sitemap has not already generated output (usually if no match is found). Previous behaviour was always to throw a ResourceNotFoundException. The attribute defaults to "false" for backwards compatibility. Committed by NKB.

• The store/caching system now uses JCS instead of Jisp. Committed by CZ.
• The persistent store is now really persistent between two application runs. (Fixed a bug in the hash code calculation of the keys). Committed by CZ.
• Updated Apache JCS to 1.0 dev 20040516 and util.concurrent to 1.3.3. Committed by AG.
• Extended CocoonServlet to allow any org.apache.avalon.excalibur.logger.LoggerManager to be used. Committed by JH. Thanks to Ralph Goers. See Issue 28860.
• Deprecated getWidget from the Widget interface in cforms. People should consider using getChild(id) or lookupWidget(path) instead. On the level of the flowscript 'Form' API a semantical distinct getWidget() (notice: no arguments!) is still available to return the actual wrapped Java form instance. Committed by MPO.
• Fixed jetty-4.2.19.jar compiled for +jdk1.4. The new version can run in 1.3 Committed by AG. Thanks to Juan Jose Pablos. See Issue 28889.
• Fixed missing escapes of line feeds, carriage returns and tabs, that resulted in invalid Java code. Committed by JH. Thanks to Michal Durdina. See Issue 27871.
• Updated Joost to 20040330 Committed by AG.
• RequestListener hook added, that is called before and after a request is processed. Committed by JH. Thanks to Ralph Goers. See Issue 28424.

• Extended FOM so that cocoon.redirectTo("url", true) will do a global redirect. cocoon.redirectTo("url") will act as before. This enables FOM to redirect when it is called from within cocoon: protocol requests, aggregations, etc. Committed by UV.
• Moving check on number of specified targets within CocoonBean. This was preventing the processURI(uri, outputStream) method from working. Committed by UV.
• CForms: Remove custom flow level forms validators. Committed by VG.
• Added the "tour" block: "Supersonic Tour of Apache Cocoon". Tutorial/example app focused on the Power Trio: Pipelines, Flow, Forms. Committed by BD.

• Hopefully fixed the source resolving in JSP components finally by using standard Cocoon/Avalon Excalibur source resolving. This allows to use all known protocols and Cocoon pseudo protocols as long as the JSP file is inside the servlet's context. Committed by JH.
• CForms: Change to generated instance xml <fi:form>. Nested widgets are now grouped in <fi:widgets> and no longer in <fi:children>. This aligns with other container-widgets. Committed by MPO.

• Updated Xalan to 2.5.2 Committed by AG.
• Woody: did some cleanup of the FormHandler interface: moved it to the event subpackage, made it handle all types of WidgetEvents (there's an AbstractFormHandler which splits ActionEvents from ValueChangedEvents). Removed the deprecated RepeaterHandler class, and the unused CarSelectorHandler class. Committed by BRD.
• Serializers now can optionally implement the SitemapModelComponent interface, meaning then can be given a "src" attribute and parameters using <map:parameter>. Committed by SW.
• Sitemap components (matchers, actions, generators, etc) can know the location of their use in the sitemap unsing a special parameter named Constants.SITEMAP_PARAMETERS_LOCATION. Committed by SW.
• Closing some memory leaks in the source and component handling. Committed by CZ. See Issue 23625.
• Cocoon Protocol: Fixed a bug that broke the environment handling in some cases for internal pipeline calls. (This should also fix bug #15843). Committed by CZ. Thanks to Sam Coward. See Issue 22377.
• HTMLGenerator: fixed NullPointerException in case the "HTML" file contained an XML declaration. Committed by BRD. Thanks to Alfred Fuchs. See Issue 23648.
• Fixed ResolverImplTestCase so that the "test" build target does not fail (it still depends on the deprecated block, though). Committed by UC.
• Woody: fixed a bug causing an endless loop during validation of a field if during the validation of the field the value of the field itself was again requested. Committed by BRD.
• Patched SQLTransformer to use only one connection. Committed by BRD. Thanks to Daniel Fagerstrom. See Issue 16718.
• Patch to XMLDBTransformer to generate a key on create if it is not provided Committed by GR. Thanks to Micheal Homeijer. See Issue 14845.
• New JavaScriptBinding for Woody, which allows writing specific binding strategies with two JavaScript snippets (one for load, one for save). Committed by SW.
• TraversableGenerators can now be used with plain resources too (not only collections). XPathTraversableGenerator has been revamped in the XML recognition pattern (using mime type mapping too). While at it, a bug regarding non-existent sources has been fixed. Committed by GR. Thanks to Unico Hommes. See Issue 23575.
• Update lib excalibur-i18n to 1.1, update iText to 1.01 Committed by AG.

• Fix default namespace handling in Xscript variables. Committed by VG. See Issue 23516.
• OJB block: Object Relational mapping tool integration. Committed by AG.
• Slop block: New YAPT sample, lightweight presentation tool. Committed by BD.
• Fixing release of Source in the JXTemplateGenerator. Committed by CZ. Thanks to Volker Schmitt. See Issue 23171.
• Update lib commons-lang to 2.0, iText to 1.00 Committed by AG.
• New event-handling system for Woody. Value change and action event handlers can be attached respectively to field and action widgets, and event handlers can be both Java classes or JavaScript snippets in the form definition.
  New <wd:repeater-action> widget to automatically handle rows addition and deletion on repeaters (a very common need).
  New <wd:submit> widget to distinguish between actions (act on the form and redisplay it) and submits that terminate the form.
  Ability to trigger form submit on any widget value change (including inputs, popups, etc) to trigger server-side event handlers through client-side interaction.
  Rewriting of the Woody/FlowScript integration to be more simple. Committed by SW.
• Update libs Xerces to 2.5.0 and Ant to 1.5.4 Committed by AG.

• Removed deprecated XPathProcessor and implementations. These classes where moved into the Excalibur XMLUtil package. Removed Jaxen libraries used by JaxenProcessorImpl. Committed by VG.
• Replaced the deprecated LogkitManager stuff with its LoggerManager counterpart. This is Cocoon internal and should not affect components as long as you don't use LogKitManageable interface. Committed by JH. See Issue 21730.
• Woody binding framework: fixed a problem with the deletion of rows by the repeater binding, whereby not all deleted rows where removed from the bean or XML model. Committed by BRD.
• Errors handled by map:handle-errors are now logged to the logcategory "sitemap.handled-errors". Previously they weren't logged. Committed by BRD.

• Moved scratchpad into an own block. This allows that code in the scratchpad can depend on other blocks. The scratchpad can now also have own configurations. Committed by CZ.
• Extended the build system. If one block depends on the other it can now also use the libraries of the other block. This avoids moving the libs to the lib/optional directory. Committed by CZ.
• cron block added Committed by GP.
• Updated Jakarta Regexp library to the version 1.3 Committed by VG.
• Applying patch for adding new session-fw logicsheet that allows access to a session context from with xsp. Committed by CZ. Thanks to Antonio Gallardo. See Issue 13070.
• Fixed a StackOverflowError in errors2html.xslt that could occur with error pages containing very long stack traces. Committed by BRD.
• Woody: renamed the button widget to action widget. If you were using this widget, you will need to update your form definition files. Committed by BRD.
• Adding new RequestDataStore component that can be used as a replacement for the component marker interfaces RequestLifeCycleComponent and GlobalRequestLifeCycleComponent obsolete. Committed by CZ.
• Adding contributions to the portal from Friedrich Klenner (friedrich.klenner@rzb.at), Gerald Kahrer (gerald.kahrer@rizit.at) and Gernot Koller (gernot.koller@rizit.at): caching uri coplet, application coplet, proxy transformer, proxy reader and link transformer. Committed by CZ.
• Changed logkit attribute of <logging in cli.xconf to be relative to context dir, rather than CLI invocation dir. Committed by UV.
• Added include/exclude feature to CLI to allow fine-tuning of crawling of a site. Committed by UV.
• Upgraded excalibur-event package so that Tomcat shutdown and continuations cleanup now works properly. Committed by BRD. See Issue 18131.
• Add a session-context input module to the session framework to retrieve information from a session context in the sitemap. Committed by CZ.
• Applying patch for processing http.nonProxyHosts in WebServiceProxyGenerator. Committed by CZ. Thanks to Peter Ross. See Issue 21399.
• POI block: fixed formula support. If no ValueType attribute is set on <gmr:Cell/>, the cell content will be interpreted as formula. Committed by JH. Thanks to Neil Bacon. See Issue 22574.
• Applying patch for using 'host' in the logging patterns. Committed by CZ. Thanks to Unico Hommes. See Issue 21848.
• Lucene block: LuceneIndexTransformer configuration fixed. Committed by JH. Thanks to Conal Tuohy. See Issue 22498.
• Applying patch from Renaud Bruyeron (bruyeron@fullsix.com) that fixes the prematurely closing of the connection causing in the SQL Transformer. Committed by CZ. See Issue 12173.
• Midi block: added transposition and inversion stylesheets and samples. Committed by JH. Thanks to Mark Leicester. See Issue 22479.
• Rewrite handling of internal-redirects (i.e. redirects to "cocoon:" URLs). Previously, internal redirects where not handled for internal requests (i.e. sitemap source). This bug prevented among other cases the use of flow-driven pages enclosed in an aggregation. Committed by SW.
• The jars in /lib/local are used during compilation again. Committed by CZ.
• Update the I18nTransformer so that it also accepts the 2.0 namespace. This ensures backwards compatibility for 2.0 applications. Additionally, attributes on "i18n:" elements can now be in the default namespace (meaning we can now write <i8n:text key="foo"> instead of <i18n:text i18n:key="foo">) Committed by SW. See Issue 20445.
• Fix in the SVG serializer: if setDocumentLocator wasn't called on the serializer (which can happen if you have e.g. an XSLT transformer in the pipeline), then the base URI for the SVG document wasn't set which could cause exceptions. Now it is set to http://localhost/ in such cases. Also fixed a problem with the document locator not being reset between subsequent retrievals of the serializer from the pool. Committed by BRD.
• Fix Jisp based persistent store: close database files on Cocoon shutdown and re-use existing database and index files on startup. Committed by VG.
• Views are now always loaded before resources, ensuring proper call of views from resources. Redeclaring a component (e.g. file generator) with no "label" attribute was wrongly inheriting view labels from the same component in the parent sitemap. Committed by SW. See Issue 22239.

• IMPORTANT: Flow: cleaned up the situation with regards to the "uri" argument to the sendPage, sendPageAndWait, and processPipelineTo functions. URI's starting with a slash are resolved against the root sitemap, URI's not starting with a slash are resolved against the current sitemap. Specifying a scheme is not allowed. Committed by BRD.
• I18nTransformer: if content of i18n:text is empty and translation is not found, use untranslated-text. Committed by BRD. See Issue 19841.
• ESQL: explicitly release database resources. Committed by CH. Thanks to Gildas Guillemot. See Issue 22050.
• Paginator now caches dynamic pagesheet correctly. Committed by CZ. Thanks to Frank Taffelt. See Issue 21213.

• Reverted the encoding changes in the JSP engine. The fix should be done in the JSPReader, that already contains a TODO. Committed by JH. See Issue 14327.
• Web3: The stylesheets in the examples use Xalan as transformer and work correctly now as XSLTC has problems with the 'rfc' namespace. Committed by RP.
• Changed namespace for Web3RfcTransformer to 'http://apache.org/cocoon/Web3-Rfc/1.0'. Committed by RP.

• Fixed return of different DirValidity objects on multiple calls on getValidity() in the DirectoryGenerator. Committed by JH. Thanks to Wolfgang Kowarschick. See Issue 20682.
• The DTDs are now completely handled by the catalog entity resolver. The old copies of DTDs at xdocs/dtd/ have been removed. If you are editing the Cocoon xdocs with an xml editor, then point it to the WEB-INF/entities/catalog or catalog.xcat file. If your editor cannot utilise an entity resolver, then get a better editor. Committed by DC.

• Upgraded Xalan (includes XSLTC) from a CVS snapshot (20030506) to version 2.5.1. Committed by BRD.
• Updated ParanoidCocoonServlet, which is now an easy solution to the well-known endorsed library problem (incompatible version of Xalan in Cocoon and in JDK 1.4+). Committed by SW.
• Encoding-related change to the JSP engine: the response charset is now retrieved from the Content-Type, and if not found ISO-8859-1 is used as default (previously UTF-8 was the default). Committed by DC. See Issue 14327.
• The deprecated source implementations are now wrapped by proxies. Modified patch from Jens Lorenz (jens.lorenz@interface-business.de) Committed by CZ. See Issue 11533.

• TextSerializer now can handle absence of root element in the incoming XML. Committed by VG. See Issue 10242.
• 'handle-errors' sections in the sitemap now do not have an implicit generator: any generator can now be used, whereas previously it was implied and produced an XML representation of the error).
  To ensure backwards compatibility, 'handle-errors' sections can have a 'type' attribute to continue the implicit-generator behaviour, but are now to be considered as deprecated.
  A new ExceptionSelector is also available to drive the error-handling pipeline constuction depending on the error type. Committed by SW.
• EsqlConnection no longer implements java.sql.Connection. No jvm dependency any more. Committed by TC.
• Refactored SitemapConfigurable. A sitemap configurable component can now be ThreadSafe and has access to the sitemap configuration at any time through a SitemapConfigurationHolder. Committed by CZ.
• Correcting method names of new CacheableProcessingComponent interface. It is now possible to write components that support the 2.0.x and the 2.1.x caching algorithm. Committed by CZ.
• Setting minimum JDK version from 1.2 to 1.3. Committed by CZ.
• Updating to the latest official Avalon and Excalibur releases. Committed by CZ.

• New InputModule to access contents of an XMLFile using JXPath, based on patch from Jeff Turner (jefft.at.apache.org). Committed by CH.
• Moved endorsed libs in ./lib/endorsed, so that they can be added in the build file easily as java jvm args, or in the future copied to the webserver or Java endorsed dir. Currently it enables Jetty to run easily in 1.4 JVMs without need to copy libs to the endorsed dir. Committed by NKB.
• Added jetty webserver for fast and easy Cocoon test and evaluation. To run launch "build run" and point the browser to http://localhost:8888/ Since it seems there is a bug somewhere, ATM point to http://localhost:8888/documentation/index.html to see the page. Committed by NKB.
• Removed ./tools/build-i.xml and moved the interactive targets in main build. Removed ./tools/build-s.xml and removed all references to scratchpad builds (not used). Committed by NKB.

Now, upon request of an erroneous page, the result is that I can see all parts, that have been processed so far on the screen and I see the error infos positioned at the bottom of the page. Committed by NKB. Thanks to Hussayn Dabbous.
• Added 'query' sitemap parameter to SearchTransformer. Added configuration parameters to SimpleLuceneXMLIndexerImpl for choosing the content-view and which tags you want stored as fields by the indexer. Added field storage implementation to LuceneIndexContentHandler. Committed by JQ.
• New build target "validate-xdocs" to conduct build-time validation of core xml documentation (call it manually with: ./build.sh validate-xdocs). Committed by DC.

• Added resource bundle component interfaces to allow different implementations to be used for i18n. Committed by KP.
• Extended implementation of i18n transformer to allow markup in translations, inline translations (conditional processing) and named parameters. Now i18n transformer is cachable, this will affect on dynamic markup, e.g. i18n:date-time. WARN: The namespace of i18n markup is changed to "http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1". i18n samples are updated to demonstrate the new features. Committed by KP. Thanks to Matthieu Sozeau.

• Python language support for the XSP pages. Committed by VG.
• Python programming language using jython interpreter. Committed by VG.
• New SwitchSelector that uses a common context object for all map:when tests. Committed by SW. Thanks to Marcus Crafter.

• Esql fix for get-columns with PostgreSQL and getObject not working with all datatypes Committed by CH.
• CLOB support in esql logicsheet, esp. in get-xml Committed by CH.
• changed the LanguageException and the JavaLanguage to expose more than just the compilation error. Now it also shows the actual code from the repository +/- a few lines around that error. Committed by TC.
• restructured the ProgramGenerator and added option "watchSource" (true/false). If turned on you can make changes inside the generated source code (inside the repository) and the ProgramGenerator will compile them for you. This eases XSP debugging a lot! Turned off (same behaviour as before) by default. Committed by TC.
