What's new in Tiles 3.0

* New features in Tiles 3.0

  * {{{/tiles-request/}Apache Request}}: a framework independent request abstraction. Implementations for Servlet, 
  Portlet, JSP, Velocity, FreeMarker and Mustache.

  * {{{/tiles-autotag/}Apache Autotag}}: a tool that automatically generates tags (or tag-like) artifact from a common template code for a range of templating languages.
  All the Tiles 3 boilerplate code to templating models has been removed and uses the Autotag plugins instead:
  it's a lot of boilerplate, boring code, now generated automatically.

* Deprecations in Tiles 3.0

  * Starting Tiles in a web environment using a dummy Servlet. Use a ServletContextListener instead.
  
  * Don't use the AttributeContext interface to pass attribute values to Tiles. Expression Languages are an easier, more maintainable 
  way to change the value of attributes on a per-render basis.

  * ...

* Removals in Tiles 3.0

  * Upgraded from JavaSE 5.0 to JavaSE 6.0.
  
  * Upgraded from Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 to Servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.1.
  
  * Changed the Java API to adopt the Request API. The XML files and taglibs are compatible with tiles 2.2.
  
  * Dropped the parameter based configuration that was deprecated in 2.2.
