THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
Roller 5.0 has been in the works for a long time and even before Roller 4.0 was released. Roller 5.0 is the result of contributions from Sun Microsystems social software efforts, San Jose State Univ. student developers, a Google Summer of Code project and volunteer work of ASF Roller project committers and other contributors.
The ApacheCon US 2009 presentation What's new in Roller 5.0 tells the story of Roller and Roller 5.0 in some detail and includes details on the new features, which are summarized here.
