Friends:

I am completing a test suite against release 2 features. I am using 
documented features from the web site. For example, I started with Keats 
#bean directive and documentation example:

#bean $counts = "java.util.HashMap" scope=session onNew
  #set $counts.Hits = 0
#end
#set $counts.Hits = $counts.Hits + 1


This does not execute. Why? Because the WM evaluator does not cast the 
expression

$counts.Hits + 1


into an Object (Integer). The expression

($counts.Hits + 1)


is cast.  So, my approach is three-fold:

1) publish issues as I discover them for discussion (as above)
2) get the documentation to line up with the reality of the version
3) provide a synthetic test with performance data for release 2 features.

I have digested Endre's diatribe on naming the release and i have 
decided that he is right and it does need to be named WebMacro 2.0. So, 
this will be the release ID.

yours,
