Hi, We're holding a mini 'hackathon' for Velocity at ApacheCon October 9 & 10. Henning and I will be there, though we welcome participation from others at the con or remotely. I'm looking forward to the focused time together.
I'd like to challenge us to ready ourselvesfor a release right after ApacheCon. I've grouped the open items below. I'll take personal responsibility to see that issue below with a submitted patch that is ready (or almost ready) makes it in. Many of those are mine, anyway. The remaining bugs are all fairly subtle. They seem to be grouped around escaping issues, macro issues, and error reporting issues. With a little luck we can work through most of them. If anyone wants to dive into the code and work through a few, that'd be fabulous. Two specific items we could use help on. Anyone a Texen or DVSL guru? VELOCITY-413 (DVSL) really needs to be fixed. And there's a nice Texen patch (VELOCITY-422) waiting to be added. Cheers, WILL Bugs (has patch/partial patch) --- VELOCITY-132 IllegalArgumentException while calling an overloaded method (needs a little work) Bugs (no patches) --- VELOCITY-449 Velocity Uberspector behaves differently for get(String) and put(String, Object) methods VELOCITY-456 Uberspector chokes on a number of corner cases VELOCITY-458 InternalContextBase defines non-serializable non-transient fields VELOCITY-71 False positive error condition parsing VM_global_library.vm VELOCITY-82 VM libs will not autoreload if unparseable at Velocity startup VELOCITY-214 References to non-public members (inner classes, fields, etc.) should log a warning rather than failing silently VELOCITY-251 $\!{foo} doesn't render as expected VELOCITY-264 Escaping in form of "$\!{foo}" does not work VELOCITY-280 Parsing of braces after a reference fails VELOCITY-209 Encountered ")" Was expecting one of: ")" VELOCITY-24 calls to local macros not always made when template caching is off VELOCITY-262 #set not parsed in #macro VELOCITY-285 reference within macro and foreach is incorrect VELOCITY-435 ParseErrorException not thrown with #macro parse error VELOCITY-455 Error in chapter "Escaping VTL Directives" in the User Guide VELOCITY-457 documentation mistake? order of Velocimacros in template VELOCITY-413 DVSL doesn't appear to work with Velocity 1.5 Enhancements (with patches/partial patches) --- VELOCITY-405 Document new Event Handler features (needs work from WGH) VELOCITY-423 Report invalid references (needs work from WGH) VELOCITY-179 Prevent execution of methods on Class, ClassLoader and related classes (needs work from WGH) VELOCITY-422 Add support for <property> and <propertyset> nested elements to TexenTask.
