Hawkular Alerts 0.6.0.Final has been Released!

* Event Support

This major new feature incorporates Events into Hawkular Alerts.  Events:

• Are more lightweight than Alerts
• Record things of interest
• Can be injected via an API call
• Can be generated via a Trigger
• Can have actions performed on them (for Trigger-generated Events)
• Can be used as Trigger conditions

For more on Events there is some general information here (more to come):

     http://www.hawkular.org/docs/dev/alerts.html

And Lucas provides some great examples here:

* WebHooks Action Plugin

Hawkular Alerts 0.6.0.Final introduces a new Action plugin for WebHook notifications. 

There have been some changes to the REST endpoints as we refine the model.


Of course there are fixes and minor enhancements as well.  A Jira Summary for the release is here:
