JBoss Forge 2.5.0.Final is now available!

The Forge Team is proud to announce that JBoss Forge 2.5.0.Final is now available! This is the best release so far.

What’s new and noteworthy?

• Performance: We have introduced more performance enhancements in the Furnace runtime, so the shell and other features should feel quite a bit snappier. Try it out and tell us your thoughts!
• Templates addon refactoring: We refactored the templates addon with a cleaner and leaner API, check it out!
• Component Upgrades: We’ve upgraded to Weld 2.0.5.Final, Aesh 0.53 and Roaster 2.3.0.Final. More stability and new features available out-of-the-box!

And that’s not all! Check out the issues below for more info.
