The Apache Velocity project is pleased to announce the first release candidate for VelocityTools 1.3. You may download this release from:
http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi Significant changes since VelocityTools 1.2 are: - New tools: ContextTool for accessing context data, ResourceTool and ViewResourceTool for resource bundle access and easy i18n - ViewTool and Configurable interfaces are no longer necessary, instead you need only add init(Object) or configure(Map) methods (respectively) to your tools. This has allowed many settings on GenericTools to become configurable via toolbox.xml (like DateTool's default format). - Numerous syntax simplifications for using many of the tools in your templates - New showcase example to demonstrate most of the tools and their functions - Request-scoped tool availability can be restricted according to the request path by adding a <request-path> element to the tool config. - New functionality in EscapeTool, LinkTool, CookieTool, ValueParser, and more We've also fixed all known bugs, overhauled our build process, updated all dependencies, added a test framework, and much more. Please try it out and let us know of any bugs, so we can release a final 1.3 version as soon as possible! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
