Hi Ulf,
I think it's a fair statement to consider that a bug on 2.x. Fine on 3.x but
you're correct, this should not have passed in a dot release.
Cheers,
Murray

AFAICT, the behavior of the DefaultVariableManager that I mentioned in my
response to the previous release vote (breaking variable names that start
with "jspwiki") has not been changed. I'm aware that it is too late now,
and that I don't really have a vote anyway, so I'd just like to register my
displeasure that JSPWiki, which has a pretty good history of backwards
compatibility, breaks it so cavalierly in a dot-dot release of a major
version that is many years old. For 3.0, that's a reasonable decision, but
for 2.12 it's rather questionable, IMO.

I think it's been over 72 hours, that's +4 yes. We should be good to go.
When I have a spare moment, I can do the rest of the processes to get this
out the door.
Thanks for testing everyone!

This was plug-and-play for me. Built with no issues on Java 17.0.17,
deployed to
Tomcat 9 and it worked.
