Announcing Lift 2.4-M3

July 21, 2011

Lift is the most powerful, most secure web framework available today. There are Seven Things that distinguish Lift from other web frameworks. Lift applications are:

  • Secure -- Lift apps are resistant to common vulnerabilities including many of the OWASP Top 10
  • Developer centeric -- Lift apps are fast to build, concise and easy to maintain
  • Scalable -- Lift apps are high performance and scale in the real world to handle insane traffic levels
  • Interactive like a desktop app -- Lift's Comet support is unparalled and Lift's ajax support is super-easy and very secure
Sites powered by Lift include Foursquare, Novell Vibe, the UK Guardian, and Open Study.

The Lift team is excited to announce the availability of Lift 2.4-M3 (Milestone 3).

Lift 2.4-M3 supports Scala 2.8.x as well as 2.9.x.

The Lift team added over 20 enhancements or bug fixes since Lift 2.4-M2.
Noteworthy breaking change:
As announced earlier, JavaMail dependency has been upgraded to 1.4.4 which is formally available from Java.net Maven 2 repository (and not from Maven central). As a result, existing applications would need to add the repository in the SBT project file as so:
lazy val JavaNet = "Java.net Maven2 Repository" at "http://download.java.net/maven/2/"
