The Apache Velocity community is pleased to announce the release of
Apache Velocity Engine 2.2. The release is available for download at:
https://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#engine
Apache Velocity is well-known in the Java field as a lightweight,
easy-to-use templating library for creating dynamic web sites and
performing other text-generation tasks. It relies on the Velocity
Template Language (VTL) which is aimed at ease-of-use and simplicity.
Main changes in this release:
* New runtime.log.track_locations debugging configuration flag which
displays the VTL stack trace in the logs in cases of errors, and
populates slf4j MDC tags about position in VTL templates.
* New example of how to build a customized VTL parser where the '#',
'$', '*' and '@' characters can be replaced by alternate characters.
* New backward compatibility flags to mimic 1.7.x event handlers and
velicomacros behaviors.
