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.
