Description

2.1 has shown it was very difficult to evolve the features without compromising stability, i.e. respecting the contract made by the API.
3.0 main goal is to make the API stable, making clear where the difference is between "using" Jexl and "customizing/improving" Jexl.
Since it is targeted at new projects or at least very active ones, the development will not require Java 1.5 but will target Java6; i.e., the release may or may not include a Java 1.5 deployable version depending on need and contribution.
