Changes
-------------
1. Greatly improved support for exporting ontologies in HTML format 
(accessible via "File -> Export to Format -> HTML"):

- Improved look and feel that is more consistent with Protege's user interface.
- The ability to specify a custom HTML header and footer.
- The ability to specify a custom stylesheet.
- The ability to specify which slots and facets to export.
- The ability to save export configurations.
- The ability to sort subclasses on the class hierarchy page alphabetically 
or by model.
- The ability to choose to numbering for lists of instances.
- HTML export is accessible programmatically.
- The ability to control some of the text labels on generated pages via a 
properties file (htmlexport.properties).

Please note that the old "File -> Generate HTML...." menu item is still in 
place.  We plan to leave it there for a couple of weeks in case anyone 
depends on it, after which it will be removed.  We encourage you to switch 
to the new exporter and report any problems you find.

2. We are now including an "experimental" XML back-end.  This back-end is 
under development and feedback on the schema is strongly solicited.  The 
schema should not be considered fixed at this point and users should not 
rely on this back-end to function correctly or upon the schema remaining 
fixed from build to build.  We do encourage you to try it out and report 
any problems that you see.  To convert your core Protege project to XML for 
testing purposes, just do "File -> Convert Project to Format -> 
Experimental XML".  Please be sure to choose a new name for this project 
file so that you don't overwrite your "good" project file.  More 
information is available on our Wiki: 
http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?XmlBackend.  Thanks!
