ANN: Syntext Serna WYSIWYG XML Editor V2.3.0

The second release candidate of V2.3.0 from the 26th of July is
announced to be V2.3.0 release.

NOTE: If you already installed serna-2.3.0-20050726.* you do not need
to download this release.

New features since the previous official release 2.2:

- WebDAV support
   Serna now may open and save files, access images and other resources
   over WebDAV.

- Text XInclude support (aka parse="text")
   It is now possible to XInclude text files into the XML document.

- Basic forms support
   Serna introduces XSL FO extensions that allow using edit-boxes and
   combo-boxes in the document view. The functionality also allows
   "in-place" attribute editing.

- Preview Python API
   It is now possible to write Serna plugins in Python. See
   Using Serna API in Help for examples.

- Reorganized XML meta-data*
   The XML meta-data for a specific document type (e.g. DTD, schemas,
   templates, etc) now can be placed to the single directory. Serna
   also can work with packages located outside of Serna installation.

- Additional XML catalog specification
   It is possible to specify additional XML catalog in document
   template. The catalog will take effect only for the documents of this
   template.

Once Syntext Serna Enterprise is released WebDAV and Python API will
be available only in the Enterprise edition.

The users who purchase Serna Professional before the official
availability of Serna Enterprise will be able to use WebDAV and Python
API later on.
