Jease 2.6 released

New Features

• Page to PDF conversion: Jease can now convert any page-like content into a PDF document. Just use the link at the bottom of the page to try the feature and add it to your custom template if you like it.
• Improved security: Jease checks now the password-strength and enforces passwords which must contain at least 8 characters with mixed cases, digits and symbols.
• Multilanguage sites out of the box: if the id of a node in the root folder is a language code (e.g. "ru" or "de"), Jease makes this node automatically a virtual root for the site. This way you can easily create multilangual sites.

Bug fixes

• Fixed Script#copy(): "Forward" attribute wasn't copied.
• Fixed possible NPE for #replace() when using new properties.
• Dispatcher.jsp: "Context" as request attribute was broken due to typo.

Changes

• Removed (browser-session based) cookie-based "Remember me" from Login. Otherwise unaware users of this feature could fool themselfes by leaving the browser open.
• Fixed lots of issues where temporary files were created and which were not deleted when server shuts down.
• Improved Picklist: Jease allows to move single items in Picklists by just double-clicking them.
• Fixed ObjectTable#rebuild(): only recreate container components.
• Added explicit PersistenceEngine#begin() to mark the start of a transaction. Not needed for db4o/Perst, but useful to implement a JPA-based PersistenceEngine.
• Updated deprecate Lucene methods to current API.
