[dna-dev] Announcing JBoss DNA 0.5

[Randall Hauch]

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.

Best regards,

Randall
