Hey,

I just uploaded RIFE 1.5 Milestone 1. I decided to not go ahead with the final release since there are still some situations where stateful embedded elements don't work as they should (notably when you create an exit link from an embedded element to another embedded element).

The speed increase you get with this release is mainly during development. Before, RIFE checked for every request if any of the site-related files had changed, in case the structure needed to be reloaded. This thus also meant for all the images, styles, ... (since RIFE is a filter). In this release, the reload check is only made once every 10 seconds (this is of course configurable and is only used when auto site reloading is active).

The other major new features of this release are:

* annotations support for element declaration
* step-back continuations
* stateful components (which you use submissions and reflexive datalinks) * complete injection and outjection support for all element data (inputs, parameters, inbean, outbeans, incookies, outcookies, parameters, globalvars and globalcookies)
* 2 new examples (stateful counters, hangman)
* support for create RIFE applications without any XML (not even participants.xml)
* upgraded a lot of supported 3rd party libraries
* fixes to meta data merging

The full changelog is here:
https://rife.dev.java.net/files/documents/204/34790/ChangeLog

Hope you enjoy this release and please notify us should you run into any problems.

Best regards,

Geert

Just to catalog this here, I dropped the 1.5 snapshot into an app i'm
working on, and it worked without a hitch; another thing is pages are
really snappy now... I don't have any benchmarks, but the difference
between rendering in 1.4 and 1.5 snapshot are really noticeable.

maybe geert can give some more info on this. definitely worth
upgrading to, imho... if just for the speed improvement.

cheers,
Emmanuel

Hi everyone,

tomorrow morning I'll start packaging RIFE 1.5 and put it on the
website for download. I'll write the release notes over the coming
week and announce the release after JavaOne (it's not a good idea to
release anything during the conference).

This is the version that will become 1.5 final:
http://rifers.org/downloads/rife/snapshots/rife-1.5- snapshot-20060512/

If some of you could test it a bit with your current applications,
that would be awesome.

Best regards,

Geert
