     1.4 +Release Notes for Version 1.0
     1.5 +--------------------------------
     1.6 +-Jpeg image support added.
     1.7 +-Added new tag parameters to img and legend:
     1.8 +	-removeAfterRender will remove images from storage immediately. Defaults to False. NOTE: This 
     1.9 +	may cause problems if your users expect to copy or save the images from the browser as some
    1.10 +	browsers will put the url in the paste buffer and attempt to reload when pasted somewhere such 
    1.11 +	as MS Word.
    1.12 +	-forceSessionId will add jsessionid parameter to the image url. Defaults to True. This matches
    1.13 +	existing functionality but now allows the option to disable this for certain use cases.
    1.14 +-Supports JFC 1.0.0 Final
    1.15 +	JFC no longer supports the signals chart type. This has been commented out in cewolf for now
    1.16 +	because there is talk on the forum that it may come back.
    1.17 +-At release time, site is not fully updated. This will come in the near future as I move the site fully to Maven2.
    1.18 +	
    1.19 +
    1.20 +Release Notes for Version 0.12.0
    1.21 +--------------------------------

    1.27 +-Fixed bugs:1165987,1165979,1165967
    1.28 +-There where significant changes to the JFC Api in this release. See www.jfree.org forums
    1.29 + for specific information. Chances are very good that your chart processors WILL BREAK because of these
    1.30 + changes. This is not because of Cewolf, but because the JFC APIs changed.
    1.31 +
    1.32 +Release Notes for Version 0.10.3
    1.33 +--------------------------------

    1.37 +-Added ChartImageRenderListener event callback interface can be implemented by ChartPostProcessor
    1.38 +	to get called back after the image rendered. 
    1.39 +	Useful to acquire JFreeChart's ChartRenderingInfo object.
    1.40 +-Fixed [ 1158392 ] Configuration object causes NPE when servlet reloads
    1.41 +-Fixed chart-renderer factory problem; that if multiple charts of the same type appeared
    1.42 +	on the same page they shared the same renderer, therefore if a post-processor customized
    1.43 +	that renderer all charts were affected.
    1.44 +-Fixed that tooltips would not appear in firefox; when the jsp page in a subdir
    1.45 +	need to use /etc/overlib.js style path in config for this.
