Today I released jshred R17. The most interesting new feature is the Spring module, which will offer some useful classes for Spring purposes in future. Currently it only contains one feature: Spring supported Tag Libraries. If you ever wanted to use Spring in your tag library, you should have a look at R17.

Starting with R18, I will officially drop support for JDK 1.5 and move on to JDK 1.6.

I don't really know why, but somehow I skipped the release of R15. The jshred R16 package was available in the Maven repository for months now, but I never tagged it or published a release statement. For the sake of completeness, this news posting will announce R16, even though you will surely prefer R17.

Today R14 is officially released, containing a few changes collected in about 2½ years. Besides some minor improvement, a new class PhpSerializer has been added. This class is able to serialize simple Java objects so they can be unserialized with the PHP unserialize() command.

The next release R15 will finally bring Java 5 support like generics and enums. There will be a break in the API for that reason. Also, I will switch to the Apache License 2.0, which will hopefully make jshred more attractive even for commercial purposes. Stay tuned!

The previous development platform was a part of my private homepage. Due to a major redesign, all my open source software will now move to the project management under the new domain shredzone.org. jshred is the first project that completely moved to the new platform, with the other projects to follow shortly.
