Added: support for new parameters when downloading PS XML documents. They add document and fragment metadata including labels, notes, reverse XRefs and version compare information, see new Document Metadata Schema for details.

  • ps-reversexrefs: if "true" includes <ps:reversexrefs> metadata in document (must be used with ps-documentinfo=true or ps-fragmentinfo=true)

    The old xsl-documentInfo parameter will work the same, however when Ant scripts are updated to use ps-documentinfo=true any associated publisher or berlioz XSLT will need to be updated to handle the new <ps:documentinfo> and <ps:reversexrefs> elements.
    The psdownload.download-modified-files target in the PS ant-library has been deprecated as it uses the old xsl-documentInfo parameter. The new psdownload.get-modified-files target should be used instead.

Added: support for <previewPath> element inside <echoxml> in publish scripts which will display the PSXML at this path under the Publish Engine session/${ps-jsessionid} folder as HTML.
