Changes in FTL (FreeMarker Template Language)

• FreeMarkerServlet now has a setting for the Content-Type header of the response, defaulting to text/html. Previously it set no content type, which made it not play nicely when integrated with software that expected it (i.e. OpenSymphony SiteMesh).

• FreeMarkerServlet now works correctly when mapped to an URL extension instead of URL path prefix.

• You can emulate include directive call within Java code by calling Environment.include(templateName, charset, parse).

• Bugfix: When Template.process() was called from another template processing, it set currentEnvironment to null when it returned, thus crashed the parent template processing.

• Bugfix: the _descendant key in JDOM support incorrectly left the document root element out of the result when applied to a Document node.

• Bugfix: because we incorrectly assumed certain behavior of JDK 1.4 Beans introspector, calls to public interface methods on non-public classes that implement the interface were causing exceptions on JDK 1.4

Other changes

• Various minor supplements to the manual.

• Documentation HTML pages don't try to load the SourceForge logo from the Internet anymore.

• The default ant target is jar, not dist.
