Hans,
BTW inr986577 you said <<We are in discussion with the freemarker developers to solve this problem there.>>. Could you be more
specific and explain a bit the issues you crossed, only those in http://markmail.org/message/ppie7riv2i3cwlku ?
Also it seems there have been several bug fixes between 15 and 17RC1, I think it's worth trying this new version, could you give it
a try?
I'd like to have Scott's opininon also because he wrote the directive

Sorry I completly forgot about it but had a doubt in mind, that's why I send a
message before doing anything
In http://markmail.org/message/uswj4i54iczwothh you suggested some possible
progresses I guess related to
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=986577
I'd not prefer to stay forever stuck with 2.3.10 when everybody is going ahead.
Someone I know which needs to works on an OFBIz
based CMS is investigating. Maybe we could share the efforts?

remember that the new version was slowing down the ecommerce
significantly....

Hi,
It's a while we did not update Freemarker. We use version 2.3.10 (2007-04-20),
soon (16th of May) 2.3.17 will be released with
some
interesting features and numerous bug fixes.
http://freemarker.org/docs-rc/versions_2_3_11.html
(?c) only used in geolocation.ftl, I don't expect much problems there
Interesting: A new model interface, TemplateDirectiveModel provides an easier
paradigm for implementing user-defined directives
than TemplateTransformModel did previously. TemplateTransformModel will be
deprecated. So should still work, cases could be
updated,
and easier way to do it now
http://freemarker.org/docs-rc/versions_2_3_12.html
In the templates, now you can conveniently call Java methods that use the Java
5 varargs feature (variable-length argument
lists).
http://freemarker.org/docs-rc/versions_2_3_13.html
New built-ins for rounding numbers: round, floor, ceiling.
Reworked template caching mechanism for radically improved concurrent
performance (Achieved 20x speedup)
http://freemarker.org/docs-rc/versions_2_3_14.html
New built-in: xhtml
http://freemarker.org/docs-rc/versions_2_3_17rc1.html
?seq_index_of and ?seq_last_index_of now works on collections
?long now works for date, date-time and time values, and returns the
milliseconds since the epoch (as java.util.Date.getTime()).
New special variable, now. This returns the current date-time.
?sort and ?sort_by now supports sorting boolean values.
FreeMarker now can log its messages directly using SLF4J or Apache Commons
Logging.
So I'd like to update soon using 2.3.17. Someone is currently testing the RC1
in a custome application (based on OFBiz of
course)
