Since then I have done the Java 9 testing (and some fixing... see updated http://freemarker.org/builds/fm2.3.27/versions_2_3_27.html), and FREEMARKER-80 addressed. So hopefully we will soon start the release process again, but for now I'm waiting for feedback on FREEMARKER-80. Also I found that the BeansWrapper changes are a bit scary after all, so some feedback from people here is also highly welcome.
