         <api name="progress_api"/>
+        <summary>Adding <code>setInitialDelay(int)</code> method to <code>ProgressHandle</code> and <code>AggregateProgressHandle</code></summary>
+        <version major="1" minor="1"/>
+        <date day="12" month="9" year="2005"/>
+        <author login="mkleint"/>
+        <compatibility addition="yes"/>
+        <description><p>
+            The newly added methods allow to customize the amount of time that shall pass between the start of handle's progress 
+            and it's appearance in the status bar. If the progress task finishes fast enough it won't appear in the UI at all.
+            The default value is around 0.5s. </p>
+            <p>
+            For handles that are used in dialogs and elsewhere, this property has no effect and the handle's component is shown immediately.
+            </p>
