Velocity is alive and well

I got to meet Will Glass-Husain today who, I was happy to learn, works on the Apache Velocity project. In case you don't know, Velocity is the template engine that Roller uses to generate blogs and feeds -- so it's near and dear to my heart, dispite it's many little deficiencies. I was a worried that Velocity was stagnating but Will told me the Velocity 1.5 is coming out soon with a load of good bug fixes and a promise of 100% backwards compatibility. We'll have to see about that. Velocity 1.5beta1 has been out for almost a month now.

Thanks for the shout-out! I'm excited to meet so many Velocity users at ApacheCon. Kind of neat to work on the upcoming release with folks from other "client" projects all around. We'll be issuing a beta 2 release after ApacheCon with more features and bug fixes -- hoping to see a full 1.5 release sometime soon in the future.
