There have been frequent CVS changes though. We got our act together just before Christmas '07 and released 1.1.5. The latest release has a license change (to BSD license) and includes the SpiderMonkey 1.5 release, which includes E4X (XML support as part of the JavaScript language) It also includes other goodies like the ability to manipulate graphic images, framework support for building a chat-server, native PostgreSQL interface and a host of other things. We've now integrated the latest (Oct '07) release of SpiderMonkey which is under CVS and we'll be making a new release shortly including that along with improved PostgreSQL library support. We also added an RPM release for Fedora to make life a little easier (although we're a little new to RPMs and support will improve with experience or suitable volunteers!) http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/whitebeam Whitebeam has been in continuous development, despite the lack of formal releases!

I didn't know whitebeam, I'll take a look. Thanks. Peace -stephan I’ve tried TrimJunction but thought it wasn’t mature enough, the templating approach is nice though.
