Latest and greatest is published and the online docs have been updated!

With this build, I tried to close out all the tickets for defects (still have a few enhancements pending). Lots of bug fixes and a couple new features:

Java Annotations

At long last, I've finally got annotations fully operational through the Java FFI. Basically you can use a Java annotation just like a facet, and it will get emitted correctly in the Java runtime. For more information see:

• Issue 668
• docLang

JavaScript Storage

The JavaScript dom API now supports HTML5 local and session based storage. There are a few examples from dom::index:

// storage
win.localStorage["bar"]         // return value for bar from local storage
win.localStorage["foo"] = 25    // store foo:25 in local storage
win.localStorage.remove("foo")  // remove foo from local storage
win.localStorage.clear          // clear all contents from local storage

Its not quite complete yet since we don't have serialization working (since local storage has to be "json-izable").

Fantastic -- thanks for all your hard work on this. Much appreciated!

Great to see the annotation support - thanks for digging into that! I've been waiting for that to do some more appengine integration...looking forward to making some more headway on that now.
