[dna-dev] Preparation for 0.5 release

[Randall Hauch]

Okay, another status report.

All issues for the 0.5 release have been resolved/closed, and  
currently all unit tests pass.  Please consider SVN locked down until  
further notice.  (It's 4:30am, and I don't trust myself to do the  
release correctly at this time without some rest.  I'll start the  
release process in a few hours.)

Thanks for your patience, everyone.  I'm really happy that our Getting  
Started examples are using our own JCR implementation and are using  
federation to boot.  Stay tuned, 'cause there's more to come in a few  
hours.

Best regards,

Randall
