Note: I expected the following to be front and center on the site:

========================================================================================================================
Release 3.0
========================================================================================================================

Version 3.0 is a major release changing the public JEXL API.

Due to binary and source incompatibilities and the scope of
modifications, JEXL has moved to the
org.apache.commons.jexl3 package.
However, this is a drop-in replacement through JSR-223 and casual code
usage should find easy equivalence between
jexl-2.x and 3.x (besides the package name).
Also note that JEXL 3.0 now requires Java 6.


What's new in 3.0:
==================
* A redesigned API that properly segregates the "public" part and the
"internal" parts of JEXL.
* A real difference between Expression and Script (scripts accept
statements: for, while, etc).
* The ability to create JEXL functions in script, closure/variables
hoisting/currying included.
* A set of assignment operators (+=, *= , ...).
* A set of String matching operators (^= startsWith, $= endsWith) and
their negative counterparts (!^, !$)
* A range operator (x .. y) to ease writing loops (for(var x : 1 .. 10) ... )
* A literal set syntax to ease creating sets: { 1, 2...}
