Task local variables

[pault]

I noticed in the answer to another post mention of these coming in 5.1. It will be a very useful feature.

Is there any preliimnary javadoc, or other description of how it will be implemented.

Quick example:
Using API:

taskService.setVariableLocal("123", "myVariable", "Variable value");
Or inside a TaskListener, using DelegateTask

public void notify(DelegateTask delegateTask) {
  delegateTask.setVariableLocal("123", "myVariable", "Variable value");
}

Similar methods for a map of variables will be available, as well as API and DelegateTask methods for getting the variables. For the full javadoc and userguide, you'll have to wait for the 5.1 release, in the beginning of januari 2011
