[forge-dev] Forge 2.4.1.Final Released

[Lincoln Baxter]

JBoss Forge 2.4.1.Final is now available! 


The Forge Team is proud to announce that JBoss Forge 2.4.1.Final is now available! This is the best release so far. What’s new and noteworthy? 


    * Performance : We have introduced some major 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! 
    * Component Upgrades : We’ve upgraded to Arquillian 1.1.4.Final, Aesh 0.52 and Roaster 2.1.0.Final. More stability and new features available out-of-the-box 
    * Introducing Roaster (definitely) : Our first-gen Java parser has been replaced by Roaster , which has been refactored and enhanced to support lots of new features such as Nested Types, Java Properties, and more. 



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