RIFE 1.5 Milestone 2 has been released.
The web engine's internals have been heavily refactored and  
optimized, which is why this is still a milestone release and not a  
final one.

You get a speed release during development with this release,  
compared to version 1.4. Before, RIFE checked for every request if  
any of the site-related files had changed, to be able to reload the  
structure on-the-fly. This thus also meant for all the images,  
styles, ... (since RIFE is a filter). In this release, the reload  
check is only made once every 10 seconds (this is of course  
configurable and is only used when auto site reloading is active).

The other major new features of this release, compared to v1.4, are:

* support for any number of simultaneous continuations in different  
embedded
   elements that are part of the same page
* fine-grained control over continuation trees and their invalidation
* important fixes to session state storage
* annotations support for element declaration (example)
* step-back continuations (example)
* stateful components (which you use submissions and reflexive  
datalinks)
* complete injection and outjection support for all element data  
(inputs,
   parameters, inbean, outbeans, incookies, outcookies, parameters,  
globalvars
   and globalcookies)
* two new examples: stateful counters (source), hangman (source)
* support for creating RIFE applications without any XML (not even
   participants.xml)
* upgraded a lot of supported 3rd party libraries
* fixes to meta data merging
