Stubblog

Last night we released Stubbles 0.16.0 which is mainly a bugfix release but still contains some new stuff. Most remarkable of the new stuff is the native support of Iterator instances to behave as arrays when serialized with the XMLSerializer. Another interesting feature is the possibility to configure the xml generators to be used by the XMLProcessor of the XML/XSL view engine, which allows you to add your own xml generator and have arbitrary data available on the dom tree of every page.

For the command line folks we added the possibility of asynchronous command line execution with the Executor. This way one can issue several commands at once and wait until they are processed while doing other things in the meantime.

Bug fixes focused on the input grid support, making it more usable for everyday usage of forms. For a full list of changes see the changelog.

On another note, this is the last minor release which contains the Memphis and Rasmus view engines. We will discontinue them in trunk and the next minor release will not contain them. However, we will do bugfix releases for the 0.16.x series if necessary and keep the support for 0.16.x until our own applications are migrated to the XML/XSL view engine later this year, meaning that support will be available at least until December 31st 2009.
