Announcing Lift 2.5-RC5

[Diego Medina]

Dear community,

The Lift team proudly announces the availability of the Release Candidate 5 of Lift version 2.5.

We expect this to be the last RC before we release 2.5 Final.

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.

Lift open source software licensed under an Apache 2.0 license.
