I'm pleased to announce that JBoss DNA 0.7 is now available. This has been a long release cycle, but so many of you stepped up and made fantastic contributions. We literally could not have done this without such a talented and hard-working community. You guys rock!

Here's the announcement:  http://jbossdna.blogspot.com/2010/01/announcing-jboss-dna-07.html

The list of features added to this release is impressive:
  • passing 97% of the JCR TCK
  • observation
  • query/search with support for XPath, JCR-SQL2 (plus many useful extensions), and full-text search languages
  • a new JDBC metadata connector that allows accessing JDBC metadata via JCR
  • an improved federation connector
  • an improved JPA connector
  • an improved file system connector that supports read/write
  • an improved SVN connector that now support read/write
  • a new DDL sequencer for standard DDL or Oracle, PostgreSQL, and Derby dialects (and more to come)
  • a new Java class file sequencer (that can be coupled with our sequencers for Java source and ZIP files to sequence JAR, WAR, EAR and RAR files)
  • a new text file sequencer for extracting data from delimited or fixed-width text files
  • ability to run the database tests against multiple databases

And now that 0.7 is out the door, we've begun the work to rebrand as ModeShape.  We plan to quickly release a rebranded version of 0.7 as ModeShape 1.0.0.Beta1 within a week (and make lots of noise), followed a few weeks later with a 1.0.0.GA that passes 100% of the TCK (with even more noise).  So stay tuned for lots of news!

Best regards,

Randall
