Apache Roller 3.0 RC1
From the roller-dev mailing list (with minor edits for HTML readability):
Finally, we have a release candidate for Apache Roller 3.0 (incubating).
I've provided links to all of the release files, what's new information,
updated docs and Roller Support project downloads.
Please test out the new release and provide feed back here on the list
in our JIRA bug tracker. I expect that there will be a least a couple more
release candidates.
The Roller webapp (the binary release)
The Roller source (the source release)
*** New features
This is a major new release of Roller with these new features:
* The front-page blog
Front-page of a Roller site is now an easy-to-customize weblog
* Completely new URL structure for weblogs and feeds

* Completely new macro system
With complete documentation. Old system is deprecated but still supported
* Non-core themes and plugins moved to Roller Support site
