This release improves the performance and garbage collection of the component persistence layer, introduces a number of new and enhances existing modules and scripts, makes serious enhancements in the template syntax, adds stability and polished output to several tools, improves internationalization support, and more.

This release has a new translation tool, updated support for international standards (currencies, countries), a large number of usability features in dozens of scripts and modules, new ways to debug projects, and several new component property types.

Component search was implemented using a new SQL-like syntax. A dozen new rich property types were added, including Rating, ScalableImage, Country, and Currency. The existing administration scripts were enhanced (all have --help) and new scripts were added for finding, traversing, cloning, and destroying components from the command line. WikiText was integrated using a new property type. A more useful sample model using the new Page component type was included. Improvements were made in template functionality and new built-in functions. A better translation infrastructure was provided along with a number of useful Perl modules and scripts to aid development.
