PrettyFaces:

Version 1.2.3_GA: binary, source, documentation (stable)
Minor Release: 20090415

1. Added optional <action onPostback=”false”> boolean flag to prevent action methods from being called on form postback. Defaults to true;
2. Added optional <query-param decode=”false”> to prevent java.net.URLDecode.decode() from being called on a specific managed query-parameter. Defaults to true;
3. Added unit tests for several critical classes.
4. Minor to moderate refactoring of PrettyFilter/PrettyContext

PrettyFaces:

Version 1.2.3_RC1: binary, source, documentation (stable)
Minor Release: 20090319

1. Managed query-params now accept multiple parameters of the same name: E.g.: String[] names — would accept a list of parameters (with the same name) from the request
2. Enhanced configuration loading — PrettyFaces now looks for /META-INF/pretty-config.xml by default, in addition to accepting a comma-separated list of user config-files in the web.xml init param: com.ocpsoft.pretty.CONFIG_FILES — submitted by Aleksei Valikov
3. JSP support for standard attributes on the pretty:link tag has been fixed. The pretty link will now accept style=’mystyle’ and other attributes — from Derek Hollis at OcpSoft

The PrettyFaces JSF Bookmark extension has been updated for JSF 2.0, and is ready for public preview (download below).
