Release notes for DR

Nukes 2.0 Developer Release.
This release features JBoss Nukes Portal and its portlet container
implementation which pass all the test of Portlet TCK.

This is a developer release and the goal is to feature the portlet
container which is the first step of the upcoming Nukes 2.0 release.
The next versions will see more features and personnalization
capabilities. Obviously popular Nukes 1.x modules will be ported to
Nukes 2 Platform offering to the user an advanced portal.

- added XML1_0CharacterEntityReferenceParser class which detects char sequence like A or A
- modified the ToHTMLRenderer which now detects things like A and let them as is instead of producing A
- modified the entity table to have two entity table, FULL=all the entities, BASIC=all the entities except gt,lt,amp,quot

 sorted page by paage
 - use DateField to get the date from the indexed document
 - added sorting search result by date

 - lower value for the batch loading since hsqldb seems to have a recursive way to execute
 a prepared statement it causes a stack overflow error when it's too large

 (means resend a notification to forum watchers)

 send email otherwise perform a watch.remove() on the EJB tl avoid further notifications.
 The same is done when a user edit his watch list.

 so no such post was occuring

 - factored file edition out of HtmlModule into plugins : FilePlugin,
 TextPlugin and LinkPlugin
 - added link concept between pages
 - Modified the HTML module to use an optional HTML editor made of javascript,
 when the text plugin is displayed the user must click on the launch button if
 he wants to mutate the <textarea> into an advanced GUI made in javascript.
 The GUI should work fine on IE 5.5 and above, Mozilla 1.3 and above.

 subscribes he's authorized to login immediatly. In the future it would be possible to
 add other modes like "need approval", "with email confirmation".
