Announcing Lift 2.6-RC2

November 23, 2014

The Lift team proudly announces the availability of Release Candidate 2 of Lift version 2.6.

Lift is the most powerful, secure and mature 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 centric -- 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 unparalleled and Lift's ajax support is super-easy and very secure
  • Modular -- Lift apps can benefit from, easy to integrate, pre built modules
  • Designer friendly -- Lift apps can be developed in a totally designer friendly way

Read an overview of how Lift achieves these important goals.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix for the conflict between the private class scala.io.Position and our implementation of it. Hat tip to @fmpwizard to fixing this in #1636.
  • Fix for the incorrect manipulation of ajaxPostTimeout on the server, which caused threads processing an ajax request to stick around longer than they should have. Penguin tip to @fmpwizard for fixing this in #1637.
  • Added an implicit conversion from tuple to SelectableOption for backward compatibility niceness. Bacon tip to @fmpwizard for fixing this in #1630.
  • Removed some unnecessary synchronization for Vars. Shoe tip to @davewhittaker for making that happen in #1631.
  • Return DefaultConnectionIdentifier.jndiName to being a var, with an added deprecation warning. JNDI tip to @eltimn for making that happen in #1623.

Please join the Lift Community and enjoy building awesome apps with Lift.
