	<h2>Bowler Scala Web Framework version 0.3 Released!</h2>
	<i>April 6th 2011</i><br/>
	Version 0.3 of Bowler, a RESTful, multi-channel ready web framework in Scala has been released. For details on how to get the code, get started etc, please check the <a href="/">homepage</a> or <a href="/manual.html">the manual</a>.<br/><br/>
	This is the third release and has focused on cleaning up API's, better UI re-use and the addition of more Component oriented UI aspects with the help of Scalate's scuery.<br/>
	The <a href="https://github.com/bowler-framework/Bowler/tree/master/examples">Bowler Example application</a> in our GitHub repository showcases a lot of the new features.<br/>
	A list of changes and new features below:


	<h3>Change highlights for version 0.3</h3>
	This is a partial changelist compiled from memory, hence it is likely to contain omissions.<br/>
	Most of all, I am excited about adding scuery to the list of supported templating methods, a perfect choice for a more Component oriented style of templating. And, nothing stops you from mixing and matching as you see fit: maybe use the default Scalate methods for most things, but include/import use of scuery Components?


	<h4>Feature Highlights</h4>
	<ul>
		<li>Scalate's designer friendly (Wicket like) scuery templating now supported, supports markup inheritance, component inheritance and composition.</li>
		<li>Renderable has new "renderWith"-function that allows you to pass an alternate "ViewPath" - allows for better markup re-use between paths.</li>
		<li>renderWith also allows rendering of scuery templates.</li>
		<li>Re-usable ValidationFeedbackPanel Component for rendering validation errors (to save you some work if it is sufficient).</li>
		<li>Optimized template loading, specifically for scuery templates.</li>
	</ul>


	<h4>API changes</h4>
	<ul>
		<li>removed TemplateRegistry.templateOverride - renderWith in Renderable with ViewPath now recommended method</li>
	</ul>

	<h4>Bugs fixed</h4>
	<ul>
		<li>CrudController paging bug fixed</li>
		<li>Fixed dependency issue in not providing transient dependencies in all cases</li>
	</ul>
