- 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

JRE extensions directory)

- 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
to set their default language and time zone preferences; added footer text
and account signup accept/decline rules; added additional implementation
of dictyionary code for future; minor cleanup of rendering config; and
so forth
