Package: bsh
Version: 1.3.0-2
Severity: wishlist

The Debian bsh package currently (and for quite some time) only has
the rather outdated version 1.3.0 of beanshell.  No development on
this version is underway, and version 2.0 has been out for at least
six months at this point (at least since September of 2003).

There are several nice new features in version 2.0 as well (such as
the java 1.5 iterator syntax).
