Re: [WebMacro-user] ANNOUNCE: WebMacro 2.0b1 has been released

Hi all,=20
Please excuse the rant,=20

I have tried to get with the programme,=20
but I fail to understand what you have done or=20
why.=20

As far as I can see you have broken WebMacro at=20
a time when the userbase is very small.=20
You have not 'removed the shit' you have changed the API and=20
broken everything.
Who do you think is prepared to keep up with these changes?
Oh, I know, the committers.
It looks as though this will be the spur for me to abandon WM.

In particular the removal of the=20
org.webmacro.Template(FastWriter, WebContext) method=20
has me at a loss.

Is there any interest in Freezing the 1.1 API and maintaining that?
(To be honest  the last version that worked for me was 0.98)

The 2.0 API appears to have lost vital elements of the API and gained=20
a raft of stuff that shouldn't be in a template engine,=20
moving more and more towards a framework.=20

I have now got to figure out what to do.
I have broken Melati and committed the broken code.
So it is work to back out and work to plough on.=20

yours
