2009-04-28:    Parsley 2.0.1 Bugfix Release

The first Parsley 2 bugfix release contains a huge number of fixes and small enhancements. And since it is fully backwards-compatible to the previous release it is highly recommended to switch to the new version immediately. See below for the release notes.

Most fixes and enhancements in this release are based on bug reports, feedback and suggestions from users, so a big thanks to everyone who participated. You can download the new version here.

Work on the next major update (version 2.1.0) will start in about 10 days. From that time on you should be careful when building from SVN since the new release will introduce some changes which are not backwards- compatible. For a full list of planned changes and additions for versions 2.1 through 2.3 see the road map in the manual. It contains links to the corresponding Jira tickets which you can use to add comments.
