[ANNOUNCE] Apache Commons JEXL 2.1
The Apache Commons team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Commons JEXL 2.1
Compatibility with previous releases
==========================
Version 2.1 is binary compatible with 2.0.1. However it is not source
compatible.
This is because new methods have been added to the following interfaces:
- org.apache.commons.jexl2.Script
- org.apache.commons.jexl2.JexlInfo
Any source code that implements either of these interfaces will need
to be updated before recompilation.
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.
A full list of the changes and bug fixes in this release are found in
the change report:
http://commons.apache.org/jexl/changes-report.html#a2.1

Thanks again to all involved in the release, both Commons users and
Commons developers.
