[xwiki-devs] Fwd: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Velocity Engine 1.6.4 - xwiki-devs@xwiki.org

19 May 2010

Seems there are bug fixes that could be important to us:

- Fix bug in #parse that threw an NPE when IncludeEventHandler returned null and inline
macros are kept local. Fixes VELOCITY-717. Thanks to Jarkko Viinamaki.	nbubna
- Fix double-checked locking in RuntimeInstance's optional lazy-init for Java 1.5+.
Users of older JREs in multi-threaded environments MUST manually call init() on any
thread-shared Velocity singleton or VelocityEngine instances to avoid race conditions. New
auto-init feature is only supported on Java 1.5+. Fixes VELOCITY-750.	nbubna
- Fix 100% CPU loop hang under simultaneous HashMap calls in ClassMap due to classic bug
in Sun's implementation. Now uses ConcurrentHashMap when available and Hashtable
otherwise. Fixes VELOCITY-718.

Thanks
-Vincent
