Hot off the presses is the latest release for JBoss DNA [1]. Our Getting Started document [2] and Reference Guide [3] were both completely rewritten to be more thorough and better reorganized. Among the features are even better JCR compatibility, a RESTful web service for accessing and changing repository content (via RESTEasy), a new configuration system that leverages a configuration repository, an read-only SVN connector, a faster federation connector with a fork- join algorithm, an improved connector framework, and updated connectors and sequencers. That's just some of what's in the release. Thanks to the whole JBoss DNA team for their hard work on this release. But I'd especially like to thank Brian, who continues to put in a ton of time and effort with the JCR implementation and the new REST service (among many others). Serge worked hard on several things, including the very slick SVN connector and helping to evangelize the project with several presentations. Everyone helps out and participates. Our community is very lucky to have so many (now at 10!) outstanding people involved as committers. With 0.5 under our belt, our next release will be focusing on passing the remaining parts of the JCR TCK (Level 1 and Level 2, plus some optional features). Check out the 0.6 roadmap (still fluid): as always, there are lots of ways to help out.
