[xwiki-dev] b5 crash on startup (b4 ok...)

[Vincent Massol]

Hi Tom,

Have you used the XWiki standalone installation or upgraded some  
custom installation. We have upgraded to Velocity 1.5 Beta 2 in XWiki  
1.0 B5 so if you have kept your old jars and especially the Velocity  
1.4 and Velocity-tools 1.1 jars in your webapp (in WEB-INF/lib) it  
won't work. You need to use Velocity 1.5 B2 and Velocity-Tools 1.3  
now (they're delivered as part of the standalone distribution).

Let's solve this and then I'll improve the release notes to ensure  
this doesn't happen to others.

Thanks
-Vincent
