Hi, I took a look -- looks great! This release will be a nice improvement.
I ran ant test and ant site. Fixed a minor doc issue. Also, I see the changes report lists "In Subversion" for version 1.6 -- assume this will be fixed. One more idea. Would it make sense to remove the folder "convert"? The conversion scripts for webmacro are due to the historical connection between WebMacro and Velocity seven years ago. Seems very dated. Finally, the maven build fails for me. (running from Velocity trunk). Any suggestions on this? I have the recommended Maven 2.0.9 installed.
