There have been many improvements made since the 1.2 release. A key focus in this version has been ease of use. We've simplified developing your own tools by eliminating the ViewTool and Configurable interfaces, and we've simplified the syntax for using many of our existing tools within Velocity templates to both save keystrokes and reduce visual clutter. 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. 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 change log. http://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/changes.html VelocityTools 1.3 is available in either source or binary form at: http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#tools For more information about VelocityTools go to: http://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/index.html Nathan Bubna, on behalf of the Velocity development community.
