Re: [FreeMarker-user] Attila, do you want me to connect you with Google for GAE support?

I think what's going to happen is that we rename 2.4 to 3.0, and then
create a 2.4 that breaks backward compatibility a little bit with 2.3
due to the changes necessarily for GAE compatibility. (It's our policy
that if the 2nd version number is not changed, then the release must
be backward compatible.) However, since then 2.4 is a non-BC release
anyway, it would be a good opportunity to fix some other things too
that are *minor* backward compatibility violations as well, namely:

- Adapt to the latest JDOM API

- Maybe turn on syntax auto-detection (<> VS []) by default

So, this way 2.4 will be quite a disappointment for most users, since
they expect lot of new features form such a version change, but it's
an emergency, so... I would just ensure that any planned new features
can be added later without breaking backward compatibility again. (As
part of this, I want to reserve some otherwise extreme patterns in
format strings, so advanced formatting can be added later in the 2.4.x
line. Things like that.)

OK, the important question is: when. Attila may will say that he
initiated some negotiations with Google, so he would rather wait... I
don't know, Attila, what do you think? I for sure didn't started
working on this yet... But I allocate some time for it, if the plan
will be what I said above... Any opinions?
