Blog post added by Julien Ponge On behalf of the IzPack team, I am pleased to announce the availability of IzPack 5.0.0-beta1! IzPack has been under heavy work
... [More]
for a year. The code has been heavily refactored with the switch to Maven, the usage of PicoContainer and an extensive test suite. Meanwhile, we still have received lots of contributions and fixes.
We now need the larger IzPack community to give this codebase a try, and report issues (or even better: patches to fix them).
Big thanks go to Anthonin, Rene, David and the others for the insane refactoring work! You can now reward them by giving us your feedback.
Warnings
You will inevitably encounter bugs and regressions in this release.
IzPack 5.0.0 is still a long way.
Obtaining IzPack 5.0.0-beta1
IzPack-based installer (signature)
From Maven:
groupId: org.codehaus.izpack
artifact: izpack(-*)
version: 5.0.0-beta1
Helping us fixing issues
Issue and patches tracker
Instructions for working with the Git source code
The developers mailing-list
Improve and complete the new documentation
Finally, and if you are not too angry at us after testing this beta and seeing that your pretty installers just don't work anymore, you can show us your love:
by following us on Twitter
by becoming a fan on Facebook
Thanks again to everyone involved in this work, and see you soon for a (hopefuly!) less buggy beta2

... [More]
upcoming new major release is to have the documentation here in a wiki.
We started writing the new one, adapting some of the previous content and mentioning upcoming features of IzPack 5.
We are however far from having a complete documentation!
You are invited to help: anyone can join and edit the pages. Here is how you can help:
check / edit the current content
take some missing content from the old documentation and use it as a basis for the new documentation style
write short tutorials for new users, people needing custom extensions, case studies... you name it
Documentation style
We want a clean, easy documentation. Put yourself in the shoes of a new user that is discovering IzPack.
Write one page per-topic. Do not hesitate to split the content to child pages.
Avoid copy and paste from the old documentation.
Go straight to the point. Avoid unnecessarily lengthy text.
Use examples!
A picture is worth a thousand words.
