Silva 1.1 beta 1 released ========================= Infrae has just released Silva 1.1 beta 1. Silva 1.1 includes the following new features: * XSLT support for rendering Silva objects. This adds more flexibility to the way Silva objects are presented, and when used also provide a nice performance boost. XSLT support can optionally be enabled on a per-object basis. XSLT support needs libxml2/libxslt, but Silva also continues to work if you do not have these installed. * A new XML export/system that can also export and import asset data in a zip file. * abbr and acronym support for both forms editor and Kupu. * New parser for SilvaDocument forms-based editor, using a HTML subset instead of the old-style method using special characters. This should increase the performance of the parser and makes it easier to use. Silva 1.1 beta 1 also should work with Silva News 1.0 and SilvaExternalSources 0.8, both to be found on the Infrae website.
