[Diego Medina]

Lift Community,

The Lift team proudly announces the availability of the Release Candidate 1 of Lift version 2.5.

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.
