Two words you don't often see together

Comments[9] by Dave in Roller

are FreeRoller and fast.

Nic: freeroller.net snappy and fast!
That is nice to hear, but will it still be snappy and fast after 24 hours?
Aspenei: Someone, oh please !, someone tell me how did FreeRoller became so snappy overnight. If only I'd be able to implement such performance improvements in my customer's apps i'll instantly become their Java Consultant God (TM) or something.

The answer is Roller 0.9.8 which includes better usage of Hibernate, Hibernate/JCS caching, database indices, and numerous small fixes and improvements made over the last couple of months by the Roller team.

Roller 0.9.8-dev made it through the night.

I upgraded FreeRoller to Roller 0.9.8-dev last night. The upgrade went well. FreeRoller is noticably faster and, more importantly, FreeRoller made it through the night. There are a lot of fixes in Roller 0.9.8 as you can see from the Roller roadmap, but Lowem has found that there are also gotchas for folks using "undocumented" features. If Roller 0.9.8-dev continues to work well, I'll release it as Roller 0.9.8 this weekend.
