No. there is the projectInfo plugin that generates changes lists: Manual tracking: http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo/docs/user/useCases/changeLogFeatures.html Automated tracking: some support of changelog from SVN - http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo/index.html#SVN+Changes There is no support for displaying diffs between documents. This could be easily achieved though. Install something like viewSVN and have Forrest retrieve the diff rendering from there and skin it appropriately. If you want to go this route we can help guide you here. Alternatively you could write a generator (but look to see if Cocoon has one already) and use that, via a plugin, to create your diffs and render them. If you want to go this route, the join us on the dev list. Ross
