I haven't managed to push FM 2.3.24 to RC1 state in time (far from it... will be several more nights), so it will be just a Preview release before moving the 3 main repos (freemarker, site, docgen) over to ASF. This preview release I *hope* to be able to do around 2015-09-02 00:00 GMT or so, and then I ask for the import. (And the monthly report is due on September 2nd... too bad, it might misses the progress.)
BTW, this is about what's expected in the Preview: http://freemarker.org/builds/2.3.24-nightly/documentation/_html/versions_2_3_24.html There are some new key features here, such as auto-escaping, custom formatters, and "template configurers". (Binary: http://freemarker.org/builds/2.3.24-nightly/freemarker.jar) As of ASF releases, seems the first one will be the RC1 then, some weeks later from now, not 2.3.24 final yet. -- Best regards, Daniel Dekany
