FreeMarker For Mac

What's new in FreeMarker 2.3.22:

• Note that since 2.3.22 is designed to be fully backward compatible with the previous 2.3.x releases, some of the improvements and fixes described below are only activated when you specifically ask for 2.3.22 "incompatible improvements" (it's always clearly indicated), because they could, with very small chance, break existing applications. For actively maintained applications it's probably better to allow them. See how to set "incomplatible improvements" here.
• CHANGES ON THE FTL SIDE:
• New built-ins: api and has_api. value?api provides access to the API (usually, the Java API) of value, like value?api.someJavaMethod(), if the value itself supports this extra feature. This meant to be used rarely, when you need to call a Java method of an object, but the by-design simplistic view of the value that FreeMarker exposes to the templates hides that, and there's no equivalent built-in either. For example, when you put a Map into the data-model (and you are using the default object wrapper), myMap.myMethod() in a template basically translates to ((Method) myMap.get("myMethod")).invoke(...) in Java, thus you can't call myMethod. If, however, you write myMap?api.myMethod() instead, that means myMap.myMethod() in Java.
