- added color customization in render-config.xml
- added ability to scale size of Venice logo in footer
- added ability to customize size of site logo, as well as add a hyperlink
- moved to use of LOG4J 1.1.3, LOG4J now installed in Venice lib directory
instead of in JRE extensions directory (only Java extensions should go in
JRE extensions directory)
- close to requiring JAXP 1.1 (will still work with 1.0 though)
- cookie-based persistent logins
- expanded activity reporting
- "top" and "fixed" left menus are now dynamically generated from XML config,
not hard coded
- error reporting enhanced and protection increased
- "About Venice" page first draft
- new means of "framing" static content within the Venice "frame"
- base page now includes the "footer" itself, "content" pages don't anymore
- general cleanup of some heavyweight old containers, replaced with faster
Collections framework containers
- probably more, there's a LOT of stuff in here
so they work now; added the HTML Reference (originally from CW); added the
post output filtering to turn the "pseudo-URIs" in the database into real
URIs
the basis of the conferencing engine is now firmly in place
* tweaks to the HTML Checker to make it better at breaking lines without
leaving stranded punctuation at the beginning or end of a line
* also modified dictionary to better handle possessives and hyphenates
* as always, miscellaneous tweaks and bugfizes as I spot them
