The comment on the change is:
i believe the map syntax is valid anywhere the list syntax was, not just in #set

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The Velocity Template Language (VTL) has been improved to be easier to use.  Significant enhancements include new data types, new operators, improvements to the behavior of "==", and minor syntax improvements.
  
   * VTL now has complete support for decimals and all number types.  Decimals can be used in mathematical expressions, compared, and set with #set. 
-  * VTL can create Map objects with #set.
+  * VTL now has syntax for creating maps.  This new syntax--{ "foo" : $bar, $key : 'value' }--may be used in the same places that the list creation syntax was valid.
   * new VTL string concatenation operator "+".
   * When comparing objects with "==" will compare String representations if objects are of different classes.
   * Line breaks are allowed in directive calls, macro calls, method calls, and string literals.
