[ANNOUNCE] Velocity 1.5 beta1
The Velocity developers are proud to announce the first beta version of
Velocity 1.5.
The vote thread is here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-velocity-dev/200609.mbox/%3cedjd0n$aqh$1@tangens.hometree.net%3e
and the result is here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-velocity-dev/200609.mbox/%3ceduht6$5fd$1@tangens.hometree.net%3e
This is an unstable release and is intended as a preview of things to
come. While it is feature-complete, we will apply a number of bug fixes
and address the documentation issues before doing our final release
push.
Jakarta Velocity 1.5 beta 1 is available from http://people.apache.org/dist/jakarta/velocity/v1.5beta1/
Please report issues with this release on our bug tracker at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY using 1.5 beta1 as the
version.
For the Velocity Development Team
Henning Schmiedehausen

Thanks Nathan. I've added these to a Wiki Page:

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...

Hi,
thanks for the suggestions. I will make sure that we do that for the
final release. As this is a beta, the target was "to get it out".
Best regards

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).
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.
