The Velocity developers are very pleased to announce the final release of Velocity 1.5. Downloads are available here.

After a little more tweaking on Beta 2, the 1.5 final release is finally here! Since Beta 2 we have fixed a major problem with the new SecureUberspector as well as several bugs and broken links in our documentation.

Some of the other new features since Velocity 1.4 include:

• floating point number arithmetic
• new event handlers for altering #include/#parse behavior
• literal map syntax

A complete list of changes is available at our issue tracker. You should also check out the release notes on the Wiki. Please report any additional bugs in the issue tracker and we will try to address them before the next release.
