[ANN] Apache Cocoon 2.1.13 Released

Apache Cocoon 2.1.13 Released
-----------------------------

    The Apache Cocoon Community is proud to announce the new release
    of Apache Cocoon.



   Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concept
   of separation of concerns (that is: allowing people to do their job
   without having to step on each other toes) and component-oriented web
   RAD.



   Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component
   pipelines' modelled after the 'process chain' concept where each
   worker specializes on a particular operation. This makes it possible
   to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in building web solutions where
   these components can be hooked together into pipelines without
   requiring further programming.



   We like to think at Cocoon as "web glue" for your web application
   development needs. But most important, a glue that can keep
   concerns separate and allow parallel evolution of the two sides,
   improving development pace and reducing the chance of conflicts.
