> Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Velocity Engine 1.7-beta1 release available
> 
> The Velocity developers are please to announce the availability of
> Velocity Engine 1.7-beta1.
> 
> Downloads can be found here:
>  http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi
> 
> A great deal of work has been done since the 1.6 branch.  Here's a taste:
> 
> - Your macros can now be called with bodies when you want:
>     #macro(foo)Here is $bodyContent#end
>     #...@foo()body content!#end
> - Quotes can be escaped in strings by doubling them:
>     #set( $foo = "$person said, ""$comment"" " )
>     #set( $bar = 'Joe said, ''Hi!'' ' )
> - The flawed #literal directive has been replaced with:
>     #[[ This is included but not parsed, so #if and $foo need no escaping.]]#
> 
> Also included are namespacing improvements, better #break and #stop,
> bracketed index syntax, and more!  For full details, please see the
> change log:
>  http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/changes-report.html
> 
> This should work as a drop-in replacement for Velocity 1.6.3 in the
> vast majority of cases.  However, there have been a number of
> deprecations (should result in warnings in your log output) and a few
> minor behavioral changes, all of which are explained in the change
> log. :)
