Hi Ravi, thanks a lot for your nice words. RIFE has been dormant for 6 months since some of the key users and me have had a couple of very busy months in real life (family stuff and such).
I've picked development back up a couple of weeks ago. These are the changes that are still pending to come out with the next release 1.6.2 (hopefully next week): * moved to the Apache 2 license * upgraded the support for all the 3rd party scripting languages, libraries and databases to their latest versions * RIFE-89 : Add support for custom error handling * RIFE-304 : Allow exit/submission names to be references to Java fields * RIFE-315 : Support annotation to specify meta data class * RIFE-284 : Please include a TemplateWrapper class * RIFE-255 : add option bundlename to the L10N:key tag * RIFE-316 : Pathinfo inputs aren't preserved in the URL during behavioral inheritance * whole bunch of continuations related bug fixes (see here http://uwyn.com/issues/browse/RIFE for the issues in detail) I'm still planning of wrapping up RIFE-238, RIFE-294 and RIFE-290 before the next release. After that I'm thinking of integrating RIFE/Crud into RIFE itself and adding a non-HTML XML view that thus generates RESTful responses. This means that RIFE can be used for instance RESTful service creation through beans and a simple site declaration. Next thing I'm going to look at is rewriting the template parser since it's a bit slow now. I'm also going to work further on the continuations support so that it can work in multiple methods in a class and release RIFE/Workflow as a first stable release. So you can see ... many things are coming :-) Thanks for the interest, Geert On 01 May 2008, at 01:27, Ravi wrote: > > RIFE Devs, > > I have been evaluating RIFE for the past couple of months and I am > very happy with the features and the community.
