The VRaptor web application framework project has released version 2.1. "This version comes with a lot of new features, including a Portuguese translation of the docs. All current bugs were closed. Conversion exceptions support and code design were improved. Fewer dependencies are needed. There is a new component scope, capable of feeding and retrieving managed beans from the session and, in the near future, work just like jsf (but simpler). VRaptor now supports the default Date conversion and non-internationalized error messages. New documentation is also provided."
