Progress on Sitemesh?

[Smiley, Stuart A.]

Martin,

The basic sitemesh functionality has been working very well for me the past couple of years. I think the project committers are very busy people and have to prioritize their work accordingly.  In the case of sitemesh, take the lack of activity as a good sign.

Subject: [Opensymphony-sitemesh] Progress on Sitemesh?


I just recently heard of Sitemesh when attending a developer conference i Malmoe / Sweden. Erik Dornenburg from ThoughtWorks made a presentation about Automated Web Testing with Selenium and he also demonstrated Sitemesh that was used in the demo application. It looked very neat and promising then, and when I tried it out for myself I was thrilled. But it is very discouraging to see that the Sitemesh project is more or less abandoned - the latest version was released 10/08/2004 ... Not that much activity in the forums either.

Is there any chance we will see a new release any time soon? 3.0? 2.3? 2.2.2? Anything..?

It just works. I'm sure they could make it do even more stuff, but,
what is there works great for lots of web applications including
several I have written over the last couple of years.

We're still here! In the past few years, we've found the need to change very little. SiteMesh has been remarkably stable for a long time.

Saying that, we silently released a new version a few weeks ago - we just haven't announced it yet. Okay, I guess we have now :)

Grab SiteMesh 2.3 here: https://sitemesh.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=6239&expandFolder=6239&folderID=0
It's biggest change is a brand new HTML parser, which is faster, cleaner, robuster and more extensible.
