       <title>Velocity Engine 1.7 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#engine17</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers are pleased to announce the release of Velocity Engine 1.7.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since 1.6, there has been a lot of work: #@body()content#end, #[[literal content]]#, major namespacing changes, $newListSyntax[$i], and more. Please see the change log for details!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since 1.7-beta1, we fixed, &lt;a href=&quot;https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-785&quot;&gt;VELOCITY-785&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-766&quot;&gt;VELOCITY-766&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-760&quot;&gt;VELOCITY-760&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-753&quot;&gt;VELOCITY-753&lt;/a&gt;. We also added access to current template and directive debugging info through $&lt;foo&gt;.info (where &lt;foo&gt; is the namespace you are seeking info about).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more details on these, again, see the &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/changes-report.html&quot;&gt;change log&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads of 1.7 are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#engine&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. This is a drop-in replacement for Velocity 1.6, however, it also begins the transition to 2.0 features. Users upgrading should expect deprecation warnings in their logs.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>VelocityTools 2.0 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#tools20</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers are very pleased to make VelocityTools 2.0 available for download. This should be useable as a drop in replacement for Tools 1.4 or Tools 2.0-beta4, with a few minor exceptions. The 2.x series of VelocityTools requires Velocity 1.6 and JDK 1.5+.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the last beta release, there have been a variety of enhancements. Here's the notable ones:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Added a 'readOnly' config option to allow write operations on ValueParser and ParameterTool when set to false&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Added a beta-quality UiDependencyTool (included in velocity-view, but not in default tools.xml)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Added an alpha-quality MarkupTool (included in generic tools, but not in default tools.xml)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Fixed (as much as possible) some significant last-iteration LoopTool problems, and added a getThis() method as a more reliable workaround in nested loops. See &lt;a href=&quot;https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-124&quot;&gt;VELTOOLS-124&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* VelocityLayoutServlet now checks request attributes for non-default layouts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* The velocity-view.tld is now valid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* VelocityView[Servlet] have improved exception and http management (particularly for ResourceNotFoundExceptions).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Miscellaneous documentation and build.xml improvements The Velocity developers are very interested in all feedback regarding Tools 2.0, especially regarding backwards compatibility with apps designed for Tools 1.4 or earlier. We aim to enable a smooth, incremental transition for developers and their applications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads of Tools 2.0 are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#tools&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>Velocity Engine 1.6.4 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#engine164</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers would like to announce the release of Velocity Engine 1.6.4.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This release provides two small bugfixes and one critical fix. The critical fix resolves a 100% CPU loop hang under simultaneous HashMap calls in our ClassMap implementation due to a classic bug in Sun's implementation. We now use ConcurrentHashMap when available and Hashtable otherwise. It's also important to note that the auto-init feature is now only supported with Java 1.5+.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more information, see &lt;a href=&quot;https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-717&quot;&gt;VELOCITY-717&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-750&quot;&gt;VELOCITY-750&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-718&quot;&gt;VELOCITY-718&lt;/a&gt;, .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads of 1.6.4 are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#engine&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. This is a drop-in replacement for Velocity 1.6.3.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>Velocity Engine 1.7-beta1 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#engine17beta1</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers would like to announce the release of Velocity Engine 1.7-beta1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since 1.6, there has been a lot of work. Here's an overview:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Support macro bodies. Just call them like this: #@foo() body content #end&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Can now escape single and double quotes in strings by doubling them&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Added #[[this is included in the output but not parsed]]# syntax to replace #literal&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* All #set calls are now global by default; no more implicit local namespaces (not that there were well functioning ones before). To #set a local variable, use the new provided namespaces: $foreach, $macro, $template, $evaluate, $define and $foo (would exist inside the body of #@foo() #end). These must now be used to #set any variable "locally" like this: #set( $macro.mylocal = 'foo' ). When nested, access to parent namespaces is similarly explicit (e.g. $macro.parent). Please see the &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/changes-report.html&quot;&gt;change log&lt;/a&gt; for details.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Enhanced #break to function anywhere and optionally accept a namespace argument when you want to break beyond the nearest scope. (e.g. #break( $macro ))&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Added bracketed index syntax: $foo[0] or #set( $foo[0] = 1 )&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* #stop now ends rendering/execution of a template, not parsing of a template&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* OSGI-ready manifests are now provided in the jars&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* A variety of small bugfixes, performance boosts and better exceptions/logging.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Removed very obsolete Veltag and WebMacro conversion code.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more details on these, see the &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/changes-report.html&quot;&gt;change log&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads of 1.7-beta1 are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#engine&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. This should work as a drop-in replacement for Velocity 1.6.3 in most cases. Users of $velocityCount, $velocityHasNext and #literal should take note of their deprecations. Users of #stop and #break should be aware of significant changes to those features.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>Velocity Engine 1.6.3 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#engine163</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers would like to announce the release of Velocity Engine 1.6.3.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This release provides users the ability to revert to the previous #if behavior, which did not call toString() in order to check its status. This results in inconsistent reference treatment, but offers much superior performance in cases where toString() is an expensive operation. To enable this reversion, set the "directive.if.tostring.nullcheck" property to false in your velocity.properties. This should restore performance of the #if directive to previous levels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more information, see &lt;a href=&quot;https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-731&quot;&gt;VELOCITY-731&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads of 1.6.3 are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#engine&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. This is a drop-in replacement for Velocity 1.6.2.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#tools20beta4</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers are pleased to make a fourth beta release of VelocityTools 2.0 available for download. This should be useable as a drop in replacement for Tools 1.4 or Tools 2.0-beta3, with a few minor exceptions. The 2.x series of VelocityTools requires Velocity 1.6 and JDK 1.5+.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the last beta release, there have been a number of significant fixes and enhancements. Here's the key ones:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Tools references are no longer read-only by default&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* LinkTool double-encoding problem is fixed&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Upgraded to depend on Engine 1.6.2&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Deprecated ListTools due to irrelevance in Engine 1.6.x&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* ResourceTool now gives access to bundle keys&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* MultiViewsTool was changed into new, better IncludeTool&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Added syntactical sugar to CookieTool&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Multiple new methods contributed for DisplayTool&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Added the WebappUberspector for natural #set of attributes in webapp scopes (e.g. #set( $request.foo = 'bar' ))&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Refactored JeeConfig to be an interface The Velocity developers are very interested in all feedback regarding Tools 2.0, especially regarding backwards compatibility with apps designed for Tools 1.4 or earlier. We aim to enable a smooth, incremental transition for developers and their applications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads of Tools 2.0-beta4 are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#tools&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>VelocityTools 2.0-beta3 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#tools20beta3</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers are pleased to make the third beta release of VelocityTools 2.0 available for download. This should be useable as a drop in replacement for Tools 1.4 or Tools 2.0-beta2, with a few minor exceptions. The 2.x series of VelocityTools also requires both Velocity 1.5+ and JDK 1.5+.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the last beta release, there have been a number of small fixes, additional features (like caching for VelocityViewTag), and especially, improvements in the extensibility of VelocityView. The Velocity developers are very interested in all feedback regarding Tools 2.0, especially regarding backwards compatibility with apps designed for Tools 1.4 or earlier. We aim to enable a smooth, incremental transition for developers and their applications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads of Tools 2.0-beta3 are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#tools&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>VelocityTools 2.0 Beta2 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#tools20beta2</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers are pleased to make the second beta release of VelocityTools 2.0 available for download. Major development in VelocityTools 2.0 has completed, and the focus has been on fixing the remaining bugs and providing a clear migration path for users of VelocityTools 1.x. Significant new features in 2.0 include very flexible, composable toolbox configuration (via either java, xml, and/or properties), lazy-loading/initialization of tools, the VelocityViewTag for embedding Velocity within JSP, simplified embedding of VelocityTools in other frameworks, an assortment of new and improved tools, and much more. This should be useable as a drop in replacement for Tools 1.4, with a few minor exceptions where things already deprecated earlier in 1.x have been removed. The 2.x series of VelocityTools also requires both Velocity 1.5+ and JDK 1.5+.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At this point, the new tool management and configuration facilities are extremely stable and useable. Documentation has continued to improve dramatically and is nearing completion. There are no open or known bugs in this release nor significant changes anticipated before 2.0 final is released. We are also more than happy to answer questions on the mailing lists. More information on the changes between Tools 1.x and 2.x may be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.apache.org/velocity/VelocityTools2/Planning&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. The Velocity developers are very interested in all feedback regarding Tools 2.0, especially regarding backwards compatibility with apps designed for Tools 1.4 or earlier. We aim to enable a smooth, incremental transition for developers and their applications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads of Tools 2.0-beta2 are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#tools&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>VelocityTools 2.0 Beta1 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#tools20beta1</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers are pleased to make the first beta release of VelocityTools 2.0 available for download and testing. This release marks the completion of major development in VelocityTools 2.0, which is now the main development trunk. Significant new features in 2.0 include very flexible, composable toolbox configuration (via either java, xml, and/or properties), lazy-loading/initialization of tools, the VelocityViewTag for embedding Velocity within JSP, an assortment of new and improved tools, and much more. This should be useable as a drop in replacement for Tools 1.4, with a few minor exceptions where things already deprecated earlier in 1.x have been removed. This also is the first Tools release to require both Velocity 1.5+ and JDK 1.5+.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At this point, the new tool management and configuration facilities are extremely stable and useable. Documentation has been radically improved since the alpha release, though more work remains there before 2.0 final is released. There are no open or known bugs in this release and encourage further testing (especially of the library's backwards compatibility) as we progress rapidly toward the 2.0 release. We are also more than happy to answer questions on the mailing lists. More information on the changes between Tools 1.x and 2.x may be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.apache.org/velocity/VelocityTools2Planning&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

       <title>VelocityTools 1.4 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#tools14</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The VelocityTools developers are pleased to announce the release of VelocityTools 1.4. There have been many important bug fixes since the 1.3 release and a handful of new features. While important, the overall slate of changes is small compared to previous releases due to the rapid progress of the upcoming 2.0 version. This is expected to be the last release of the 1.x series, as 2.0 is both superior and backwards compatible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New features in VelocityTools 1.4 include more configurability for NumberTool and DateTool, the new ComparisonDateTool, and new abilities for EscapeTool and LinkTool. For a full listing of new features and bug fixes please see the &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/tools/releases/1.4/changes.html&quot;&gt;change log&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#tools&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>DVSL 1.0 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#dvsl10</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers are pleased to make the release of DVSL 1.0 available for download and testing. This release fixes an incompatibility between DVSL 0.x and Velocity 1.5 or newser, along with some minor cleanup and refactoring. It is not a drop in replacement of DVSL 0.45 since the main package has changed from org.apache.tools.dvsl to org.apache.dvsl. Files can be downloaded &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#dvsl&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>VelocityTools 2.0 Alpha1 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#tools20alpha1</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers are pleased to make the first alpha release of VelocityTools 2.0 available for download and testing. This is a milestone release marking the completion of most major development in the Tools 2.x branch. Significant new features include very flexible, composable toolbox configuration (via either java, xml, and/or properties), lazy-loading/initialization of tools, the VelocityViewTag for embedding Velocity within JSP, an assortment of new and improved tools, and more. This should be useable as a drop in replacement for Tools 1.3, with a few exceptions where things already deprecated in 1.x have been removed. This also is the first Tools release to require both Velocity 1.5+ and JDK 1.5+.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Early adopters may consider the new tool management and configuration facilities to be quite stable. At this point, documentation is limited to javadoc and the example apps, which have been updated to demonstrate the new tools, the VelocityViewTag, and configuration. We are also more than happy to answer questions on the mailing lists. More information on the changes between Tools 1.x and 2.x may be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.apache.org/velocity/VelocityTools2Planning&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

       <title>Anakia 1.0 and Texen 1.0 released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#anakia10texen10</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers are pleased to issue two new releases: Anakia 1.0 and Texen 1.0. Anakia is an XML text transformation tool based on Apache Velocity and Apache Ant. It provides an alternative to using Ant 's &lt;style&gt; task and XSL to process XML files. A common use of Anakia is to process xdoc files and create site/project documentation. More information on Anakia can be found here: {{http://velocity.apache.org/anakia/releases/anakia-1.0/}} Texen is a general-purpose text generation utility, also based on Apache Velocity and Apache Ant. More information is here: {{http://velocity.apache.org/texen/releases/texen-1.0/}} Both Anakia and Texen were previously part of the core Velocity engine distribution but have been split off into their own packages to simplify maintenance and facilitate different release cycles. To avoid namespace conflict, org.apache.velocity.anakia has been moved to org.apache.anakia and org.apache.velocity.texen has been changed to org.apache.texen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers are pleased to issue two new releases: Anakia 1.0 and Texen 1.0.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anakia is an XML text transformation tool based on Apache Velocity and Apache Ant.

       <title>VelocityTools 1.3 is available</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#velocity-tools-13</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The VelocityTools developers are pleased to announce the release of VelocityTools 1.3. There have been many improvements made since the 1.2 release. A key focus in this version has been ease of use. We've simplifyied developing your own tools by eliminating the ViewTool and Configurable interfaces, and we've simplifyied the syntax for using many of our existing tools within Velocity templates to both save keystrokes and reduce visual clutter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The distribution also comes with a new "showcase" example webapp that demonstrates many of the uses of the various tools as well as allowing you to interactively play with them. Just download the binary distribution, and deploy the "showcase.war" example to your servlet container to try it out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also included are the usual slate of bug fixes, dependency upgrades, entirely new tools, and new functions for existing tools. For a full listing of changes, see the &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/changes.html&quot;&gt;change log&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downloads are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#tools&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>Velocity 1.5 Beta 2 Released</title>
       <link>http://velocity.apache.org/news.html#velocity-1.5-beta-2</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The Velocity developers are pleased to announce the second beta release of Velocity 1.5. Downloads are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. This beta version is one of the final steps before the long-awaited version 1.5. Since Beta 1 we have added a new InvalidReferenceEventHandler (to catch invalid references), the SecureUberspector (to prevent introspection on "dangerous objects"), and a StringResourceLoader. We've also fixed some critical bugs, including a subtle synchronization problem causing page generation to fail under heavy loads. Some of the other new features since Velocity 1.4 include: * floating point number arithmetic * new event handlers for altering #include/#parse behavior * literal map syntax A complete list of changes is available at our &lt;a href=&quot;http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:roadmap-panel&quot;&gt;issue tracker&lt;/a&gt;. You may also want to check out the draft &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.apache.org/velocity/Velocity15ReleaseNotes&quot;&gt;release notes&lt;/a&gt; on the Wiki. Please report any additional bugs in the issue tracker, especially those that need to be fixed before our final release. (use 1.5 beta 2 as the version).&lt;/p&gt;</description>
