Seam 1.1.6 is out
Seam 1.1.6 features several important bugfixes and new features for Seam/Security,
including remember me
functionality, integration of JCaptcha, support for automatic
redirects to and from the login page when authorization checks fail and a minor API
redesign. Seam's exception handling facility was totally redesigned, to be much more
robust and work better with Seam/Security. Also, the seam-gen tool now integrates
Seam/Security. This work was all based upon the huge volume of user feedback we
received since the 1.1.5 release.

PDF views in Seam

Seam Roadmap
The 1.1 release involved a lot of hard work in the guts of Seam, refactoring and fixing bugs, and working with tricky
code that handles concerns like clustering and concurrency. Sure, there are many new features, but a lot of the real work is less user-visible. Now that this hard stuff is out of the way, it lets us add some interesting new stuff pretty quickly. Here's a quick roadmap for the next few months:
1000 downloads yesterday
Cool: Seam was downloaded more than one thousand times on December 14.
Seam 1.1 thankyous
In the announcement I neglected to give credit to all the people who worked on Seam 1.1 , so I'll take care of that now. Many thanks to:
