[ANN] Apache Sling Scripting Thymeleaf 1.0.0

[Oliver Lietz <ap...@oliverlietz.de>]

The Apache Sling team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Sling 
Scripting Thymeleaf 1.0.0

Apache Sling is a web framework that uses a Java Content Repository, such as 
Apache Jackrabbit, to store and manage content. Sling applications use either 
scripts or Java servlets, selected based on simple name conventions, to 
process HTTP requests in a RESTful way.

Thymeleaf is a modern server-side Java template engine for both web and 
standalone environments. Thymeleaf's main goal is to bring elegant natural 
templates to your development workflow — HTML that can be correctly displayed 
in browsers and also work as static prototypes, allowing for stronger 
collaboration in development teams.
