call for Texen patches
Dear Colleagues,
Over in Velocity-land we're planning on releasing Texen 1.1 before the end
of the year. There's a small set of incremental improvements. Since
development is primarily user-driven for Texen, I thought I'd poll the
Torque community (and recent contributors) to see if anyone wants to
contribute anything else for version 1.1.
We're pretty liberal about accepting changes for Texen. If a patch adds
useful functionality, has a unit test, and (if necessary) updates the docs,
we'll put it in. There's also a few open items in JIRA which could use
code.
Here's some of the recent changes.
* Decouple Texen engine from ant tasks, allowing Texen to be called
independently of ant.
* Allow user to specify Velocity properties in subclass of TexenTask.
* Use LRUMap to allow Texen to generate many files without running out of
filehandles.
* Allow user to specify subclass of Generator.
* Require "." before "file.contents" suffix in properties.
