Post: Lift 2.4-M1 is available

Lift is the most powerful, most secure web framework available today. There are Seven Things that distinguish Lift from other web frameworks. Lift applications are:

Secure -- Lift apps are resistant to common vulnerabilities including many of the OWASP Top 10
Developer centeric -- Lift apps are fast to build, concise and easy to maintain
Scalable -- Lift apps are high performance and scale in the real world to handle insane traffic levels
Interactive like a desktop app -- Lift's Comet support is unparalled and Lift's ajax support is super-easy and very secure

Sites powered by Lift include Foursquare, Novell Vibe, the UK Guardian, and Open Study.

The Lift team is excited to announce the availability of Lift 2.4-M1 (Milestone 1).

Lift 2.4-M1 supports Scala 2.9.0 and 2.9.0-1.

The Lift team added over 45 enhancements or bug fixes since Lift 2.3. Notably:

Improvements to MongoDB support
Improvements to the already awesome lift-json package
Enhancements to tools for building complex forms

Lift's JSON, Util, Actor, and Common packages can be used independently from the Lift Web Framework.
