Abstract: Why a 1.1 Release?

In the spirit of the season, there are several important contributions since 1.0. It is the time to place these in a formal release. 1.1bx  is a release candidate leading to 1.1 within a few weeks.

This is the first in a series of Beta releases to give the WebMacro community a chance to test, use, and start working with new features that have been sitting in CVS for nearly a year.

WebMacro is a stable product and the ancestor of many templating projects on the net. This release proves it is a vital part of the templating and text rendering platforms. Should you encounter problems/bugs, you should submit a bug report to http://www.webmacro.org/bugzilla/.

WM is easy to use once you get the hang of it. If you are first time user, this release will not be hard to get working. If you've been using release 0.97+, you can pretty much replace your webmacro.jar with the one in this release.
