Changes on the Java side

• [1898300], [1818742], [1780882]: Reworked template caching mechanism for radically improved concurrent performance, with help from Azul Systems engineers. (Achieved 20x speedup with Struts2 webapps on a 128-CPU Azul device compared to 2.3.12.) Also, template loading (including parsing) errors are now cached, improving performance in applications that often try to get missing templates.

• [1892546] Allow for custom TemplateLoader in FreemarkerServlet.

• Bug fixed: [1725107] Using the FreeMarker JSP taglib support with Servlet 2.4 may generates XML validation warnings.

• Bug fixed: [1939742] ConcurrentModificationException on accessing nonexistent SimpleHash entries in a loop

• Bug fixed: [1902012] IteratorModel eats exception causes

• Bug fixed: <#assign x></#assign> (empty nested content) has caused NullPointerException

• Bug fixed: [1926150] CachedTemplate should be serializable
