Daniel,
That would be great.
Even without the built-ins, just avoiding all the java.util.Date bugs
will be worth it.
Context:
For the OptaPlanner project (also Apache License), we're using
Freemarker for:
- rendering the website optaplanner.org using JBake + Freemarker
- the optaplanner-benchmark toolkit, using Freemarker to render the
benchmark report html
Freemarker is fast and powerful, our favorite templating engine for Java.
With kind regards,
Geoffrey De Smet

Hi,
Not yet, but there's a FREEMARKER-35 branch that deals with all the
java.time types. It works at the first sight, but actually will need a
significant amount of work before it can be released. I plan to put
aside time for a "sprint" on it near the end of October. We will see.
And yes, I also want to add at least a few date operations built-ins.

Hi all,
Does Freemarker have plans to support using java.time.LocalDate instead
of java.util.Date?
The latter is causing off-by-one errors for in our Freemarker templates
if executed in certain timezones (and adjusting the timezone opens
another can of worms).
See https://github.com/jbake-org/jbake/issues/726
Also, many java.time methods, such as plusDays(3) or next monday,
would be very welcome in Freemarker templates.
