FreshMarker 2.5.0 Released

by

Just in time for Carneval there is a new FreshMarker release available. There are several enhancements to the built-ins through the addition of an easy lambda support.

Improvements

  • add sequence select operator. This is inspired by a similiar operator in the Spring Expression Language
  • add hash built-ins is_empty and size
  • add -> and → als lambda operator. FreshMarker offers Unicode variants of several operators.
  • add sequence built-ins count, from, drop_while, until, take_while.
  • add hash built-ins keys and values
  • add lambda support for sequence built-ins first and last
  • add alternative SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE built-in. Until now, there was only screaming_snake_case, but that was obviously written incorrectly.
  • add experimental sequence built-in distinct

Bugfixes

  • The join built-in had also accidentally concatenated non-primitive types.
