Allen started working on Roller a couple of months ago and has already developed a complete new metadata driven configuration system for Roller (due out in the June Roller 1.2 release), which simplifies Roller installation and makes it easier for developers to add new configuration properties to the system.

Roller 1.0 is the first major release of Roller since Roller 0.9.8 was released in September of 2003. See What's new with Roller 1.0 for a summary of the many changes, improvements, and bug fixes made since the last release.

Roller 1.0 has gone through a lot of testing and debugging. The Roller 1.0 release process began when Roller 0.9.9 was deployed at JRoller.com in May of 2004 and ended with the deployment of Roller 1.0RC1, 1.0RC2, and 1.0-Final at blogs.sun.com in December of the same year. Now it's your turn to try Roller 1.0. Download it, install it, and let us know how it works for you. Here are the links you need to get started:

• Downloads courtesy of Java.Net
• Installation Guide has been updated for Roller 1.0
• Bug reports go to Roller's JIRA issue tracker courtesy Atlassian
• Mailing lists are where you'll find (informal) tech support

Roller 1.0 Release Candidate 2 (RC1) has been released. RC2 is a test release of Roller 1.0 that may not yet be ready for production use. RC2 will probably be the last release candidate before the Roller 1.0 release which may occur as soon as next week.
