-## Why 2.0?
-
-Those already familiar with VelocityTools 1.x may be curious about the goals
and motivations behind developing VelocityTools 2. In planning and developing
the 2.0 release, there were three main goals:
-
-+ Transparent, on-demand tool instantiation (aka lazy loading for tools) -
This allows you to have many tools available (even ones that are expensive to
instantiate), but not waste time instantiating or initializing/configuring
those you don't use for every request.
-+ More accessible, reusable infrastructure - This allows easier access to
tools outside of your templates and provides better means to integrate
VelocityTools support into other web frameworks or even other view technologies
(e.g. VelocityViewTag).
-+ Simpler, more flexible toolbox [configuration](configuration.html) - Now you
can configure via a [properties file](config-properties.html), [plain
java](config-java.html), or really whatever you want (though perhaps with a bit
more work). No [XML](config-xml.html) required anymore; though, if you do use
it, it's now a lot better than it was.
-
-These things could not have been accomplished without rewriting most of the
core infrastructure and configuration code. At the same time, we wanted to
make it easy for people to upgrade from the 1.x series. This led to the
decision to aim for complete backwards compatibility. Granted much has been
deprecated and those who directly used or extended the 1.x infrastructure will
have to update their code in just a few releases, but for the time being they
should be able to use 2.0 in their applications with few problems. Those who
merely used the old toolbox.xml format or the old tools directly will be
immediately able to take advantage of the new infrastructure without even
updating their configuration, though eventually even the old toolbox.xml format
may be retired. Don't cry. You'll like the [new one](config-xml.html) better
once you get to know it! It can do much more with much less typing.

## Subversion Repository
All VelocityTools project code is maintained in the Subversion repository
which can be reached in a number of ways. The most direct method of accessing
the repository is through a web browser, but to effectively work on the code, a
[Subversion client](http://svn.tigris.org/links.html#clients) is required.
