Treebeard/Fangorn v0.5 released

Treebeard is an XSLT IDE.

0.5 is a milestone release.

Treebeard - finally - has syntax highlighting. I incorporated the (slightly modified) JEdit syntax highlighting engine (recommended by www.xmlhack.com, and others). Thanks to Tom Bradford (the JEdit maintainer) for an awesome Component.

This version also introduces the Template browser Ent which allows one to open a file and list all the templates, associated parameters, and namespaces. It is helpful if you use a lot of includes and/or imports (it's also the beginnings of the code completion).

I have been working with several large XML documents, and in doing so have found it hard to load a 2.8 MB XML document into the editor for transforming. So I added a feature to "reference xml document only". It's a pretty cool feature, as the tree view can still be invoked because the tree is built with SAX. I have used 4+ MB files with ease.
