[Nicolas LE BAS <nl...@apache.org>]

The Apache Tiles team is pleased to announce the release of Tiles 3.0.0 
BETA.

At the same time, we're please to introduce two new components:

* Tiles Request 1.0.0 BETA is a simple common API for requesting the 
rendering of a template. It comes with implementations for Servlets 2.5, 
Portlets 2.0, JSP 2.1, Apache Velocity, Freemarker and Mustache. And of 
course, Apache Tiles.

* Tiles Autotag 1.0.0 BETA allows us to generate the taglibs for JSP, 
Apache Velocity and Freemarker based on a single, common implementation.

Tiles 3.0.0 is available in a binary and a source distribution.

It is also available in the central Maven repository under Group ID
"org.apache.tiles".

The 3.0.x series of the Apache Tiles framework has a minimum
requirement of the following specification versions:

* Java Servlet 2.5 and JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.1
