Apache Cocoon 2.0 Released
--------------------------

   The Apache Cocoon development community is very proud to announce the
   long-awaited first stable release of the next generation of Apache
Cocoon.

   Apache Cocoon is an XML framework that raises the usage of
   XML and XSLT technologies for server applications to a new level.
   Designed for performance and scalability around pipelined SAX
   processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment based on the
   separation of concerns between content, logic and style.
   A centralized configuration system and sophisticated caching
   top this all off and help you to create, deploy and maintain
   rock-solid XML server applications.

   Today, most web engineers consider XML as the key for an improved
   web model and web site managers see XML as a way to reduce costs
   and ease production. In an era where services rather than software
   will be key for economic success, a better and less expensive model
   for web publishing will be a winner, especially one based on open
   standards.

   This release of Cocoon is a complete rewrite of the first generation
   that removes all of those design constraints that emerged during
   almost three years of worldwide use.

   This release is considered stable in both implementation and on the API
   it provides: this means that the Apache Cocoon development community
   is now fully committed to preserve backwards compatibility with this
release.

   We value the time and energy that our users will spend in order to deploy
   Cocoon technologies in their solutions and will make all possible effort
   to keep Cocoon a solid platform to work on.

   Thank for your interest and thanks to all who made this possible.
