NOTE: this is NOT an official release, just a release candidate for your
consideration.
I have prepared a release candidate for Roller 6, which includes a complete
rewrite and modernization of the Roller web interface using the Twitter
Bootstrap CSS, components and glyphs (via the Struts 2 Bootstrap tags).
Proposal for the web UI work is here:

Note that, despite the major version number change of 5 to 6, this new
version of Roller does not change the Roller database. That means you can
try Roller 6 with your existing Roller data and then roll-back if you find
problems. Also. note that this RC is compiled with Java 11 and requires
Java 11 for operation.
If you have some time, please give Roller 6 RC 1 a try. I would like to
call a release vote in the near future and I would like to get feedback
from folks and see if any contributors want to add or fix things in the 6
codebase before we make a release.
Release candidate files are here:

Thanks,
