The Velocity developers are pleased to announce the release of Velocity Engine 1.7.
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!
Since 1.7-beta1, we fixed, VELOCITY-785, VELOCITY-766, VELOCITY-760, and VELOCITY-753. We also added access to current template and directive debugging info through $foo.info (where foo is the namespace you are seeking info about).
For more details on these, again, see the change log.
Downloads of 1.7 are available here. 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.
