Because you did that last... :) I guess these are probably more
important new features that should be mentioned:

- boolean formatting, as someBool?string("yes", "no")
- we have pluggable template storage (cache storage)
- FreemarkerServlet:
  . You can specify the output charset in FreemarkerServlet
  . Supports all Congfig. settings
- string literals can be alternatively quoted with apostrophe-quote
- we have couple of new built-ins, such ?starts_with, ?replace,
  ?sort_by... etc.

It is missing from the version history, because this was a last minute
