Hi Juan Pablo,
Sorry about the delay—day job stuff took over for a bit. Your existing post is
pretty much ideal already. I've tweaked it a bit and have the following draft
ready to post if someone can approve:
***************************
We're pleased to announce the availability of Apache JSPWiki version 2.10.3—the
fourth major release made as an Apache Top-Level Project.
This is a hugely exciting release, packed with great features. Let's look at
some of the highlights.
== Updates to the Haddock template ==
Haddock is our next generation template. It's received an enormous number of
changes in 2.10.3, including:
Slick new Image Styles: Magnify, Animation, Captions, Frames, and more
Beautiful new Background Styles: gradients, patterns, images, colours, and
many other options
Incremental improvements towards mobile-friendly viewing (such as
hide/reveal site header when scrolling)
New blog styles for JSPWiki's blogging component
A plethora of styles that can be triggered through %%add-css
constructs—including custom fonts, image galleries, background patterns, page
ribbons, and much more
Haddock Behaviours (JavaScript extensions to the Haddock Template) that
integrate SheetJS, MathJax, Markdown, and stunning charts with Chartist
== Mandatory properties have been removed ==
JSPWIKI-1035
JSPWIKI-1051
== Important fixes ==
Default log is now redirected to stdout (JSPWIKI-1051)
Rendering cache fixes (JSPWIKI-1064)
== For developers ==
test-jar is now available
JSPWiki development has moved to GitHub: forks and PRs are always more than
welcome! :)
== For more information ==
For a full list of changes see the ChangeLog file or our issue tracker.
All JSPWiki site administrators are encouraged to update. For feedback, help,
and developer queries please visit us on the mailing lists.
