h1. *JBoss Forge 2.5.0.Final* is now available!

The Forge Team is proud to announce that JBoss Forge 2.5.0.Final is now available! This is the best release so far.

h1. What’s new and noteworthy?

<ul>
<li><strong>Performance</strong>: We have introduced more performance enhancements in the Furnace runtime, so the shell and other features should feel quite a bit snappier. Try it out and tell us your thoughts!</li>
<li><strong>Templates addon refactoring</strong>: We refactored the templates addon with a cleaner and leaner API, check it out!</li>
<li><strong>Component Upgrades</strong>: We've upgraded to Weld 2.0.5.Final, Aesh 0.53 and Roaster 2.3.0.Final. More stability and new features available out-of-the-box!</li>
</ul>
