Great.
It would be nice to have a short "feature" list with the new things, (from
a user perspective - not a JIRA list), (in the announce text too).
This is by no means a well-thought-through list, but here's the things
i can think of offhand:
- decimals are supported in VTL now
- map creation supported in VTL
- line breaks now allowed in directive calls, macro calls, method
calls, and string literals
- generally much-improved logging facilities
- annoying log messages are cleaned up
- support for java.util.Logging and standard out/err logging
- lots of snazzy new event handler abilities (more should be said here!)
- a URLResourceLoader
- Velocity singleton and engine will attempt to auto-init() where
reasonable and possible, rather than throw NPEs and stuff when used
without init() being called
- many bug fixes
- documentation improvements
- and probably more...
Also please make some announcements on the usual sites (like javalobby, TSS,
sites that use
velocity, etc.). Most of them already forgot that Velocity lives, so a "remember
announcement"
would be a very good thing IMHO to convince them to give the beta a detailed
test.
Thanks in advance,
Ahmed.
