Dear all,
After a pretty long cycle, JEXL 2.1 is ready for review.
Here is a quick list of new features (from the release notes):
What's new in 2.1:
==================
* A more thorough arithmetic (JexlArithmetic) that allows fine control over
decimals (scale and precision), a
new syntax for numeric literals (OGNL inspired Big and Huge notations) and a
better type handling keeping the most
appropriate representation in casual operations.
* The introduction of script variables and parameters that reduce context
dependencies and methods; this allows to
perform checks after script creation (light static checking hints). Plus the
ability to call script from scripts.
* A sandoxing feature to restrict and rename what JEXL can access from the
environment allowing tighter control over security.
* Extensions to UnifiedJEXL that allow the creation of templates.
New features in 2.1:
====================
* JEXL-114: Allow scripts to create local variables // Add return keyword
* JEXL-113: Add functions to extract which variables, parameters and local
variables are used to evaluate a script
* JEXL-118: Provide an IN operator
* JEXL-115: Add support for asynchronous script execution and cancellation
* JEXL-116: Add control over classes, methods, constructors and properties
allowed in scripts
* JEXL-120: Add simple template features
* JEXL-119: Allow indexed properties container resolution in expressions
Tested against Java 1.{5,6} / Maven{2,3}, Windows 7/Linux/Mac OS.
